The new rules in lifting for woman book cover picture by Stuart McGill, PhD


Authors Lou Schuler, Cassandra Forsythe, and Alwyn Cosgrove offer a thorough strength, conditioning, and nutrition program that will alter the way women exercise in The New Rules of Lifting for Women. The best way to lose weight and develop a healthy, strong body, according to the most recent studies, is through strength training rather than aerobic exercise. This book dispels the myth that women who exercise big weights will "bulk up." Nonsense! Men have a far higher natural testosterone level than women, making it much harder for them to gain muscle mass. To seem lean and healthy, muscles must be strengthened. It's really that simple: muscles that have been properly conditioned speed up metabolism and encourage weight loss. Women are required to put down their "Barbie" by the program.

The Hungry Brain — Stephan Guyenet, PhD


The Hungry Brain, written by a researcher on obesity and neuroscience with a gift for entertaining and engrossing storytelling, uses cutting-edge research to address the concerns of why we overeat and what we can do to stop.



Nobody desires to overeat. Everyone wants to eat too much, gain weight, and eventually have a high risk of developing diabetes or heart disease, but two thirds of Americans do just that. We frequently overeat despite knowing better. Why does our conduct contradict our desires for health and leanness? Stephan J. Guyenet, a specialist in obesity and neurology, contends that the issue isn't necessarily one of a lack of willpower or an improper understanding of nutrition.

Finally, there is hope now. In The Diet Fix, Dr. Freedhoff presents a tried-and-true method for dismantling the limiting beliefs that restrict people from losing weight and keeping it off.

This reset is intended to interrupt the patterns that frequently result in weight gain: Use it to curb cravings, stop indulgences from developing into binges, and end your relationship with the scale permanently. Any diet, whether it be low-carb, low-fat, meal replacement, calorie tracking, or anything in between, can be improved with the 10-Day Reset.
