The Feel Good Diet or To Buy or Not to Buy Organic

The Feel-Good Diet

Author: Cheryle R Hart

The authors of The Insulin-Resistence Diet prove that dieting doesn’t have to mean misery any more!

According to the Mayo Clinic, two thirds of all dieters quit after three months. Why? Because most diets deplete the brain’s neurotransmitters, resulting in the low energy, moodiness, and cravings that sabotage weight-loss success. The authors call it yo-yo brain, a hormone imbalance that affects women most severely.

The Feel-Good Diet is a unique eating plan that actually restores the balance of these brain hormones and makes it possible for you to battle cravings and shed pounds—while renewing your energy and zest for life.

To Buy or Not to Buy Organic?

Author: Cindy Burk

Food journalist and former professional chef Cindy Burke writes in the introduction to this book: "Organic food can be so expensive and difficult to find that I always wondered if I was spending my money wisely. I decided to become informed, really informed, about the options — organic, conventional, local, sustainable — so that I could choose the healthiest, safest food available." To Buy or Not to Buy Organic is the result of Burke's investigations. It tells you how to choose the healthiest, safest, most earth-friendly food, as you make your way through the supermarket, your local farmer's market, or your natural foods store. Highlights include: Making sense of the choices presented by organic, local, sustainable, minimally treated, grass-fed and cage-free foods Reducing your exposure to pesticides Save money by knowing the foods you want to eat only if they're organic and the foods that are pesticide-free even when they are nonorganic Protecting your child's health from pesticides An at-a-glance shopper's guide to more than 100 foods
