Carbohydrate restricted diets are commonly practiced but seldom taught. As a result, doctors, dietitians, nutritionists, and nurses may have strong opinions about low carbohydrate dieting, but in many if not most cases, these views are not grounded in science. 

  

Now, whether you are a curious healthcare professional or just a connoisseur of diet information, two New York Times best-selling authors provide you with the definitive resource for low carbohydrate living.

Doctors Volek and Phinney share over 50 years of clinical experience using low carbohydrate diets, and together they have published more than 200 research papers and chapters on the topic. Particularly in the last decade, much has been learned about the risks associated with insulin resistance (including but not limited to metabolic syndrome, hypertension, and type-2 diabetes), and how this condition is far better controlled by carbohydrate restriction than with drugs. 

In this book, you will learn why: 

• Carbohydrate restriction is the proverbial 'silver bullet' for managing insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and type-2 diabetes. 
• Restricting carbohydrate improves blood glucose and lipids while reducing inflammation, all without drugs. 
• Dietary saturated fat is not a demon when you are low carb adapted.
• Dietary sugars and refined starches are not needed to feed your brain or fuel exercise. 
• Long-term success involves much more than simply cutting out carbs. 
• Electrolyte and mineral management are key to avoiding side effects and ensuring success.
• Trading up from sugars and starches to a cornucopia of nutrient-rich, satisfying, and healthy foods is empowering. 
• Studying hunter-gathers' diets provides clues to how best formulate a low carbohydrate diet. 

This is a great book for health-minded individuals. 

It is an excellent book for healthcare professionals. 

Best of all, it is the perfect gift for health-minded individuals to share with their doctors, dietitians, and nutritionists.

Patience: The Art of Peaceful Living

Patience: The Art of Peaceful Living Review

"As founder and guiding teacher of the Community Meditation Center in New York, Allan Lokos has an arsenal of tools for coping with stressful situations." - Rachel Lee Harris, New York Times

To survive the roller-coaster ride of life, with its ever-changing shifts from pleasure to pain, gain to loss, and praise to blame, requires a substantial depth of patience. In this life-changing book, Allan Lokos sheds new light on this much-sought-after state of mind, and provides a road map for cultivating greater patience in one's life.

According to Lokos, to develop a depth of patience we must first acknowledge the unhappiness caused by our impatience and anger in its many manifestations-from mild annoyance to rage. In this revelatory book, Lokos draws on his many years as a Buddhist practitioner and spiritual teacher, as well as interviews with a wide range of individuals who have had their patience tested-often dramatically so-and lays out a compelling path to the heart of patience."

The Amazing Power of Deliberate Intent: Living the Art of Allowing

The Amazing Power of Deliberate Intent: Living the Art of Allowing Review

This leading-edge book by Esther and Jerry Hicks, who present the teachings of the nonphysical entity Abraham, is about having a deliberate intent for whatever you want in life, while at the same time balancing your energy along the way. But it’s important to note that the awareness of the need to balance your energy is much more significant than goal-setting or focusing on ultimate desires. And it is from this very important distinction that this work has come forth.

 

As you come to understand and effectively practice the processes offered here, you will not only achieve your goals and desired outcomes more rapidly, but you’ll enjoy every single step along the path even before their manifestation. As such, you’ll find that the living of your life is an ongoing journey of joy, rather than a series of long dry spells between occasional moments of temporary satisfaction.
