Избавление от пищевой зависимости
«Без трех чашек кофе я даже не могу приступить к работе». «Опять с мужем поссорилась, у тебя ведь есть шоколадка?» «И почему в транспорте люди такие злые? Порадую себя булочкой». Звучит знакомо? Если подобное поведение превратилось в привычку, возможно, ваши отношения с едой уже не вполне здоровы. В своей книге Каролин Кокер Росс рассказывает о физиологических, неврологических и психологических причинах пищевой зависимости и предлагает эффективную программу, которая поможет вам обуздать нездоровую тягу к еде. Если пища стала для вас чуть ли не единственным источником удовольствия и обретения спокойствия, эта книга для вас. Благодаря ей вы убедитесь: то, чего вы действительно жаждете, – это душевное удовлетворение, и научитесь справляться со стрессом и эмоциями, не «заедая» их. Речь пойдет вовсе не о диетах. А о том, как познать свое подлинное «Я» и прочувствовать собственное тело, перестав осуждать, или даже ненавидеть, и научившись интуитивно понимать его истинные потребности. Каролин – доктор медицины и эксперт по работе с зависимостями – поможет вам начать работать с причинами, лежащими в основе вашей одержимости едой, и расскажет, как придерживаться принципов здорового пищевого поведения. Если у вас в руках оказалась эта книга, не спрашивайте себя, готовы ли вы к переменам. Конечно, готовы! Переверните страницу и начните перестраивать свою жизнь – постепенно, шаг за шагом, кусочек за кусочком.

The Games Your Neighbours PlayYour neighbours are doing it.Your relatives are doing it.Even your colleagues are doing it.(Especially your colleagues.)But what is swinging?Despite being an activity enjoyed by millions worldwide (4 million in the US alone), little is known about the enormous subculture that exists. Turned on to swinging by a chance series of events in his life, author Mark Brendon found it to be stimulating, satisfying and emotionally rewarding, an experience totally at odds with the often cynical and always inaccurate picture presented by the media.Opening with an orgy scene where a tetchy husband is urging his otherwise-engaged wife to ‘hurry up, the babysitter’s waiting’ this revealing and edifying book is sure to shock some but aims to paint a realistic picture of the relative normality of this style of living. Filled with case studies, conversations and bon mots Brendon expertly crafts a fascinating book that manages to be an absorbing take on social history and a stimulating work of erotica all rolled into one.Honest, funny, thoughtful and erotic the author entertains and enlightens the reader as he describes attending parties held in clubs, on beaches and in private homes throughout Britain and beyond. He explores why, where and how your neighbours swing, outlines the subculture’s history, principles and rules and looks to a future in which swinging might just save some of our most cherished institutions – including marriage itself. Thoughtful, racy and funny, this fascinating book will appeal to experienced swingers and 'vanillas' alike.This is the only accurate guide available; a remarkable and fascinating insight into the world of swingers by a skilled and accomplished writer.

Menopause Without Weight Gain: The 5 Step Solution to Challenge Your Changing Hormones
Women over the age of 40, as they move towards menopause, usually experience an increasing waistline and multiplying fat cells…no matter how much they exercise.Hormonal changes start to affect your weight when your 30 billion fat cells detect a slightly lower oestrogen reading and come to your aid to produce oestrogen for you. And the fat cells in your waist grow the largest because they are better equipped to produce oestrogen than those in your bottom, hips and thighs.Debra Waterhouse provides her usual sound strategies to cope but also explains the positive side: that the more oestrogen you produce the fewer mood swings and hot flushes, less intense PMS, improved sleep, and a reduced risk of osteoporosis you will experience. And she warns: the harder you try to lose weight by dieting the more powerful your menopausal fat cells become .Positive actions Waterhouse proposes include:• Encouraging a positive attitude for your change of life, embracing your body changes• Following her tailored exercise programme which includes building bone density and gaining muscle• How much to eat, when and how often. What to eat, including plant oestrogens. And how to start trusting your body’s messages and cravings.
