Author: Karen Nimmo

Sort out the 'big stuff' and your weight will take care of itself argues clinical psychologist Karen Nimmo.
Looking beyond diets and the gym, Karen's approach considers you, the person. Put simply, you're a person
with a bum attached - not the other way round.
Karen was compelled to write this book in response to the large numbers of women she's treated for weight
loss during the 20 years she's been in practice. Her book is based on these straightforward principles:
1. Women are women, not men
2. What's going on in the rest of your life will affect your weight
3. Body image and self -esteem influence your weight
4. Get the life you want and you'll get the weight you want
Aimed at women aged 20-50 My Bum Looks Brilliant covers all the relevant issues: fat vs skinny genes; getting older; stressful and busy lives; relationships; enjoying exercise; self-image and emotional eating,among others, in a chatty accesible(not ... more

Paperback
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.

The Diet Delusion order quantity

NZ$ 45.00 each
Paperback
Author: Gary Taubes
In Stock: 1
Where mainstream nutritional science has demonised dietary fat for 50 years, hundreds of millions of dollars of research have failed to prove that eating a low-fat diet will help you live longer. Nutrition and obesity scientists have struggled to make sense of the paradox that obesity has become an epidemic, that diabetes rates have soared and the incidence of heart disease has not declined despite the fact that society is more diet and health aware today than generations ago. "The Diet Delusion" is an in-depth, scientific, groundbreaking examination of what actually happens in your body as a result of what you eat, rather than what the diet industry might have you believe happens and is essential reading for anyone trying to decide which diet - low-fat or low-carbohydrate - is truly the healthy diet. For years we have been deluded by the dieting industry. Now it's time to find out the truth.

Paperback
Author: David Kessler
In Stock: 1
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 bodies.
