Anti-Diet


Book Description

Reclaim your time, money, health, and happiness from our toxic diet culture with groundbreaking strategies from a registered dietitian, journalist, and host of the Food Psych podcast. 68 percent of Americans have dieted at some point in their lives. But upwards of 90% of people who intentionally lose weight gain it back within five years. And as many as 66% of people who embark on weight-loss efforts end up gaining more weight than they lost. If dieting is so clearly ineffective, why are we so obsessed with it? The culprit is diet culture, a system of beliefs that equates thinness to health and moral virtue, promotes weight loss as a means of attaining higher status, and demonizes certain ways of eating while elevating others. It's sexist, racist, and classist, yet this way of thinking about food and bodies is so embedded in the fabric of our society that it can be hard to recognize. It masquerades as health, wellness, and fitness, and for some, it is all-consuming. In Anti-Diet, Christy Harrison takes on diet culture and the multi-billion-dollar industries that profit from it, exposing all the ways it robs people of their time, money, health, and happiness. It will turn what you think you know about health and wellness upside down, as Harrison explores the history of diet culture, how it's infiltrated the health and wellness world, how to recognize it in all its sneaky forms, and how letting go of efforts to lose weight or eat "perfectly" actually helps to improve people's health—no matter their size. Drawing on scientific research, personal experience, and stories from patients and colleagues, Anti-Diet provides a radical alternative to diet culture, and helps readers reclaim their bodies, minds, and lives so they can focus on the things that truly matter.

A (Ruler) Education


Book Description

Brian Whitfield Jan , 07 , 2010 wrote a book of study in which virtuous lord is teacher and virtuous heir is student. Virtuous lord gives his example introduction and wisdom for the student to revise and apply his or her own preferred examples. This book is meant for the individual that loves to uphold peace and prosperity , but understands war and destruction as a means of survival. Generally for soldiers , officers , prestigious rulers , religious leaders , community leaders , and responsible guardians also. I pray this book helps you sustain , endure , and keeps you obedient to your respected superiors. Also I hope this book builds stronger character in you and stronger commitment to all which you value. Topic 26 : Treasure I argue treasure is warriors , or that it is a ( Ruler ) most valued commodity esp. on battlegrounds. Virtuous Prince states warriors lead to treasure and treasure leads to warriors , and that it could break a rulers heart to be forced to leave treasure behind. Treasure rules everything around me , because treasure loves treasure. Treasure life , love , and happiness. Abusing treasure , or considered stealing without consent is folly concerning anothers treasure. Topic 40 : Rest I argue rest is peace , or that which keeps the territory comfortable. Virtuous Prince states where there is anger there is no rest , where there is no anger there is rest , where there is laughter there is no rest , and without work it is hard to rest. When no battles are going on learn your energy and reserve it as much as possible. To hate rest your more productive , full of energy , not tired , or that when you hate to rest your more considered a disturbance , in love with war , or blindly out looking for trouble? To love rest your fatigue and tired , or that when you rest your more at peace with your environment and reluctant to war .
