Paperback. Zustand: Fair. AN EATING PLAN THAT CHANGES LIFESTYLES TO LOSE WEIGHT PERMANENTLY The L.A. Diet is a healthy eating plan that sets you on an unwavering course to permanent weight loss and lifelong health. It presents a comprehensive theory based on scientific evidence that explains why people become overweight. More importantly it explains how to alter diet and lifestyle to permanently shed unwanted body fat without ending up cold, tired, and hungry. The L.A. Diet Program will teach you how to eat generous portions of the right kinds of foods and to eat more frequently (grazing) -- to satisfy your hunger--and still lose weight. The L.A. Diet explains why complex carbohydrate foods stoke your metabolic furnace to burn more calories. You'll learn why eating fat makes you fat by slowing metabolic heat production. This drives you to consume more calories and store the extra fat calories as insulating body fat. The L.A. Diet is based on an eating plan that includes low fat, high complex carbohydrate, high fiber foods. It encourages generous portions of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. The L.A. Diet introduces the concept of caloric density when evaluating foods rather than simply focusing on calories. Low calorically dense foods are those foods that have less concentrated calories based on their weight. You can enjoy generous portions of these foods --they'll fill you up, reduce appetite and hunger -- and help you lose weight. This is an important concept for so many dieters who are tired of restricting food intake, limiting portions, counting calories, and going hungry all day. The L.A. Diet explains why other diets don't work and why restricting caloric intake only creates an unresolvable conflict between the intellect and the appetite. The L.A. Diet tells you why dieting creates eating disorders and why eating disorders are not the cause of obesity but simply the result of irrational attempts to diet. The L.A. Diet takes the blame of past failures off the dieter's shoulders and places them squarely on the numerous irrational programs promising rapid weight loss while setting up the dieter for long term failure. This book first sets people straight about the myths and realities of weight loss and then provides a comprehensive how to section. The second part of The L.A. Diet explains how you can adopt a grazing style of eating which our bodies are designed by nature to thrive on. It contains scores of nutritional advice, eating plans, menus and recipes as well as nutrition charts to get you started. Tips on stocking your kitchen, balancing your menu plans for optimal nutrition, entertaining at home in style, travelling and making dining out a healthy experience. More than 100 recipes help you get started and show you how to graze to your heart's (and stomach's) content. You will learn how to enjoy food, lose weight, and improve your overall health. All of the recipes are created low in fat, cholesterol, sodium and sugar. You can enjoy guilt-free eating and at the same time lose weight. The best part also is that you will be eating foods that help reduce your risk for heart disease, high blood pressure and type II diabetes. The L.A. Diet promises enjoyable, delicious food, eating to satisfy your appetite, improved health, and permanent weight loss without the negative consequences of restricting calories, and feeling chronic hunger pangs. The L.A. Diet is truly an eating plan for a longer, healthier life Unlike so many books on the subject of dieting and weight control, The L.A. Diet undergirds all of its recommendations with scientific data and their explanation. --Hans Fisher, Ph.D. Chairman, Nutrition Department Rutgers University.…

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. Metamorphoses--the best-known poem by one of the wittiest poets of classical antiquity--takes as its theme change and transformation, as illustrated by Greco-Roman myth and legend. Melville's new translation reproduces the grace and fluency of Ovid's style, and its modern idiom offers a fresh understanding of Ovid's unique and elusive vision of reality.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. 'Perfection is finality; finality is death'. The poets and prose writers of the first and early second centuries AD were not deterred by the towering stature of their Augustan predecessors from attempting new and often brilliant variations on the now traditional themes and genres. The so-called 'Silver' Age of Latin literature has tended to be characterized in terms of dismissive or question- begging stereotypes - 'decadent', 'rhetorical', 'baroque', 'mannerist' - as a substitute for close critical argument. From the sympathetic but searching appraisals in this volume the best writers of the age - Lucan, Seneca, Statius, Juvenal, Tacitus - emerge as men having something important to say and not merely technicians preoccupied with the most extravagant or paradoxical way of saying it. Complementary to these central figures as giving the age its special character and atmosphere are the minor poets, the satirists, the scholars and rhetoricians, the lesser historians, epistolographers and technical writers, whose varied activity provides the background to the main developments. The whole offers a detailed portrait of the literary interests of an age that was of necessity becoming increasingly more conscious of the past and of the problems of coping with its cultural heritage.…
