LA Shape Diet: The 14-Day Total Weight Loss Plan



From one of today's most respected diet and nutrition experts: a 14–day weight loss plan designed to help you change your shape for life using a new breakthrough personalized protein prescription that has worked for thousands of his patients. Dr. David Heber's groundbreaking book What Color Is Your Diet? introduced us to the Color Code–building a healthy diet based on colorful fruits and vegetables. His new book, The LA Shape Diet, combines the sound nutritional basis of the Color Code with his newest research from the UCLA Center for Nutrition, which shows you how to analyse your body shape, personal protein needs, and metabolism and not only lose weight–but also change your body shape. This has major appeal to the millions of Americans who may be able to lose weight but are still dissatisfied with the look of their bodies–and end up gaining the weight back anyway.Dr. Heber maintains that everyone is born with a particular shape and that this shape makes a huge difference in how you should approach weight loss. Dr. Heber teaches the difference between the shape you can change and the shape you cannot, and how to do this with the right amount of dietary protein. Based on over 3500 measurements made by his researchers at UCLA, Dr. Heber has come up with tables that estimate how much protein you need in your diet at a given height and weight, and how many calories you should consume every day. Then Dr. Heber helps you build your own ideal diet, starting with protein, then 7 colorful servings of fruits and vegetables (providing 25 grams of filling fiber), and finally whole grains. Dr. Heber explains not only glycemic index (how fast blood sugar goes up) but glycemic load (glycemic index + how much carbohydrate a food provides), which determines how a particular food affects the overall diet. He groups foods into four tables to make it easy for readers to navigate their dinner table.In a world of dietary fads and "one size fits all" pseudo–miracle diets, The LA Shape Diet is the most effective, easy–to–follow, scientifically sound dietary plan you'll find

Packing On The Muscle: Body Building Manual


Explode Your Physique In a Matter of Minutes a Day Without The Use of Drugs or SURGERY!"Learn the secrets in using your own body weight and the law of gravity to INCREASE your muscle mass as you strip away the unwanted fat..Dear Future Exploding Body Builder,Size really is everything.If you look weak, you're seen as weak. If you look big and swoll as a house, well, people know better than to mess with you. Much like 33% of the American population, you have loose flabs everywhere thanks to a lot of fast food. Your pants are probably screaming to let it loose. If you listen hard enough, you can hear it sigh of relief.It may come off as a joke, but it really isn't. Being overweight is a very serious matter. Fortunately, there are many alternate ways to get that special body you want. But don't jump to conclusions, you can't surgically put a six pack in your body... well, at least not a real one.You probably didn't know this, but everyone has a six-pack (or more), it's just hidden underneath a huge layer of fat... sometimes referred to as tires. Don't you hate it when others refer to it as that? It's embarassing and humiliating. If it bothers you, you have 2 choices:1) Ignore them and pretend it doesn't hurt your feelings.2) Do something about it and get rid of the excess weight.There's really only one healthy method to actually build your muscles, lose weight, look good, feel great, and take on the world, but it will only come through perseverance and hard work.You're probably thinking, "Hard work? Let's just skip to lypo." You may as well get yourself a few hundred cans of " Spray N Fit". Seriously, how much do you think surgery really cost?Probably much more than you can afford!If you want to start getting in shape, it all starts with...The PERFECT RoutineEveryone has a routine; whether it's getting up and going to work, or the way you get ready for bed.A body building routine has to be drafted and thoroughly planned out. Everything from eating habits to how many exercises are performed, and even resting time. Here are some tips...You have to make sure you adjust your protein-rich diet as well as your eating habit. Small light meals instead of 3 full-course meals a day would be a normal approach to building your body. Not only is meal a factor in a body building routine, but the exercise is also a factor. You need strength training excercises that involve both compound and isolated movements.Nutrition provides a great role in your routine because of the calorie intake. You require more calories than an average person with the same weight due to the protein and energy it takes to excercise.Your muscle growth occurs only after the exercise, during rest. Without proper rest, your muscles cannot have the opporitunity to heal or increase in size2 things to remember...1. Don't lose site of your goal. 2. Keep and maintain your body building routines. "Look At That Rock Hard Body"To whip your body into great shape, you have to first prioritize weight loss or in other words loss of fat before attempting to build your muscles.For example, I was at a weight of 185 (all fat), but to gain muscle mass I had to first lose weight. Everyone's human anatomy is similar. A way of building up your body is to take off the unwanted volumes of fat and get your body into a condition in which body building can be conducted through intense and specific exercises that produce growth and strength.You must lose to gain.Here are some of the exercise moves:Squat (compound) Leg extension (isolation) Bench press (compound) Press-up/Push-up (compound) Military press (compound) Handstand push-up (compound) Biceps curl (isolation) Sit-up (isolation) Leg raise (compound) Deadlift (compound) Pretty basic stuff, right?Yeah, that's basica stuff, that's why I don't care to mention it here. You're about to learn more than a bunch of boring exercises. You're going to learn how to pack on muscles as if you were growing with every pump.Get Stronger Without the GymGym memberships could be really expensive. Even with all the right equipment it could still cost you an average of $360 dollars a year at the rate of $30 dollars a month. Some gyms don't even come equiped with the right equipments!Why would you have to pay to get the body you really want? You can get stronger by simply using the physics of your body's own weight and the great thing about it is that you can do this any place and any time you want.So if you're ready, let me introduce you to my body

Helping People Addicted to Methamphetamine: A Creative New Approach for Families and Communities


Methamphetamine, made easily in clandestine labs from over-the-counter ingredients, can cause depression, rapid tooth decay, psychosis, sensations of flesh crawling with bugs, paranoia, skin lesions, and kidney damage. Still, use has spread nationwide. In this work, two experts on methamphetamine addiction and recovery explain why this drug has such a physical, psychological, and social draw for addicts, despite all the damage it causes. Vignettes from addicts take us inside the subculture of meth users. Authors Taylor and Covey explain why this drug and its addiction is different from other illicit drugs and why, therefore, the treatment needs to be specifically tailored in order to be effective.Stephan Jenkins, singer for the band Third Eye Blind, says methamphetamine makes you feel bright and shiny, but it also makes you pathetically and relentlessly self-destructive, so much so that you will do unconscionable things to feel bright and shiny again. This drug, made easily in clandestine labs from over-the-counter ingredients, can also cause depression, rapid tooth decay, psychosis, sensations of flesh crawling with bugs, paranoia, skin lesions, and kidney damage. Still, use has spread nationwide from California to Maine, with known addictions now highest in the West, Midwest, and South. Treatment admissions for methamphetamine addictions have increased more than fivefold in the last decade, with a federal report in 2006 showing 136000 known cases. Meth is particularly addictive to women because it causes rapid weight loss. The results, as shown in recent cover stories in Newsweek, National Geographic, and USA Today, are pain for far more than the abuser. Meth addiction also ravages life for spouses, children, and other family members, as well as communities.In this work, two experts on methamphetamine addiction and recovery explain why this drug has such a physical, psychological, and social draw for addicts despite all the damage it causes. Vignettes from addicts let us see inside the subculture of meth users. Authors Taylor and Covey explain why this drug and its addiction is different from other illicit drugs, and therefore why the treatment needs to be specifically tailored in order to be effective. This book, focused only on the addiction avenues and paths to recovery, is a perfect companion to Covey's earlier book, The Metehamphetamine Crisis (Praeger, 2006), which details the emergence and history of this drug use in the United States, as well as the social and community effects, and criminal justice approaches, successes, and failures to date. This book at hand will appeal to meth abusers, their families, and professionals trying to aid recovery from this new scourge, including substance abuse treatment providers, health professionals, psychologists, school personnel, and criminal justice staff

Exercise Beats Depression


. Depression is a disabling condition which can adversely affect a person's work, sleep, eating habits, and family life-as well as one's overall health. Unfortunately, while commonly used treatments can be highly effective, they may not be ideal for everybody. For instance, some drugs have unwanted side-effects, and many people are turned off by the social stigma of going to therapy. Money can be an issue as well. This is the point of Exercise Beats Depression. It is not a substitute for medical therapy, but rather represents another option that can be used alone or in combination with other treatments toeffectively lower or eliminate the symptoms of depression. Based entirely on randomized controlled trials, Exercise Beats Depression is a simple, yet effective program that can be done in the privacy of one's home with minimal cost or equipment. Exercise sheets are also included to help guide the reader through the step-by-step plan.Jim Johnson, PT is a physical therapist who has spent over eighteen years treating both inpatients and outpatients with a wide range of pain and mobility problems.
