Author: Susie Orbach

In the past decades, the pressure to perfect and design our bodies has been unprecedented. Men are encouraged to surgically pump up their pecs, breast enhancement is a sweet sixteen birthday present in the suburbs of America, and eating problems - from bulimia to obesity - are growing daily, affecting children as young as six.
In China, women are having their legs broken and extended by 5cms.
In Iran, behind the Hijab there are 35,000 cosmetic nose reconstructions a year. The body is no longer a given and to possess a flawless one has become the ambition of millions. In her years of practice as a psychoanalyst, Susie Orbach has come to realise that the way we view our bodies is the mirror of how we view ourselves: our body becomes the measure of our worth.
In this book, she raises the fundamental questions about how we arrived here and proposes a new theory on how we became embodied.

Paperback
Author: Peter D'Adamo & Catherine Whitney

Have diets you've tried in the past failed or even been counter-productive? Are you sure your diet is right for your type of metabolism? After decades of laboratory and clinical research it has now been established that your blood type is the key to losing weight, avoiding disease and promoting longevity, fitness and even happiness. Your blood type determines your metabolism which means that it also determines which foods you should eat - one man's meat is another man's poison; one woman's weight-loss is another woman's dieting disaster; low-fat or high-fibre diets work for some blood types but not others. The Eat Right Diet enables you to zero in on the health and nutritional information that corresponds to your exact biological profile, so that you can make choices based on the powerful natural forces within your own body. The book contains a seperate diet plan for each type, complete with charts and diagrams.

Author: David Kessler

Many of us find ourselves powerless in front of a bag of crisps, a packet of biscuits, the last slice of pizza. But why is that so many of us simply can't say no? In The End of Overeating, David Kessler, the dynamic former head of the US Food and Drug Administration, exposes how modern food manufacturers have hijacked the brains of millions by turning our meals into perfectly-engineed portions of fat, salt and sugar. The result is a ticking time-bomb of obesity, heart conditions and a mass of health problems around the globe. Examining why we are often powerless in the face of such combinations, David Kessler reveals how our appetites have been and are increasingly conditioned by the hyper-palatable foods to simply keep eating - all the time. The End of Overeating reveals how he overcame his own cravings by changing the choices he makes, and produces a clear plan and vital tools for reclaiming our cravings – and our ... more
