You’ll also learn about the role addictive susceptibility plays in your personal weight-loss journey, where cravings come from, how to rewire your brain so they disappear, and more. Susan guides you through the phases of Bright Line Eating—from weight loss to maintenance and beyond—and offers a dynamic food plan that will work for anyone, whether you’re vegan, gluten-free, paleo, or none of the above. Bright Line Eating frees us from the obesity cycle and introduces a radical plan for sustainable weight loss. It’s a game changer in a game that desperately needs changing. |

| exercises at your desk to lose weight: The Exercise Cure Jordan Metzl, 2013-12-10 What if there were a drug to treat every illness, across all body systems, proven potent against heart disease, depression, arthritis, PMS and erectile dysfunction—even in chronic diseases such as asthma, dementia, and certain types of cancer? What if it had no side effects, was completely free, readily available, and worked for everyone? Every single person who took it decreased her risk of premature death and raised his quality of life. Would you want it? In a healthcare system that spends 17% of GDP, roughly $2.7 trillion, mostly on disease treatment, how do we save money and prevent illness? By increasing the use of the world's most effective preventive medicine: exercise. Jordan D. Metzl, MD, explains how everyone can maximize their daily dose in his groundbreaking new book, The Exercise Cure. In The Exercise Cure, Dr. Metzl—nationally renowned sports medicine physician—offers malady-specific and well-researched exercise prescriptions to help readers stay healthy, heal disease, drop pounds, increase longevity, and transform their lives. Today's medical system is largely focused on fixing rather than preventing problems, and many treatments carry significant side effects. Cholesterol-lowering drugs are linked to frequent muscle and joint problems, anti-hypertensive drugs like Beta-blockers cause headaches and diminished energy, and Prozac and other popular anti-depressant medications carry multiple consequences including sexual dysfunction. Dr. Metzl knows that exercise is inexpensive, powerful medicine that has benefits in prevention and treatment of disease without disturbing side effects. Even in older adults, daily exercise has been found to prevent dementia by generating neuron development in the hippocampus, the memory center of the brain. Combining the latest data and his proven motivational skills, Dr. Metzl addresses the common maladies troubling millions. He discusses our cardiovascular, pulmonary, metabolic, musculoskeletal, neurologic, reproductive, and endocrinologic body systems, with special sections on sleep problems and cancer prevention, presenting the science behind the role of exercise as medicine. Then, he details fun, fat-torching, life-prolonging workouts that can be tailored easily to any fitness level, beginner to advanced, and provides nutritional information, including meal plans for healthy eating and disease prevention, as well. |

| exercises at your desk to lose weight: Burn Herman Pontzer PhD, 2022-04-19 One of the foremost researchers in human metabolism reveals surprising new science behind food and exercise. We burn 2,000 calories a day. And if we exercise and cut carbs, we'll lose more weight. Right? Wrong. In this paradigm-shifting book, Herman Pontzer reveals for the first time how human metabolism really works so that we can finally manage our weight and improve our health. Pontzer's groundbreaking studies with hunter-gatherer tribes show how exercise doesn't increase our metabolism. Instead, we burn calories within a very narrow range: nearly 3,000 calories per day, no matter our activity level. This was a brilliant evolutionary strategy to survive in times of famine. Now it seems to doom us to obesity. The good news is we can lose weight, but we need to cut calories. Refuting such weight-loss hype as paleo, keto, anti-gluten, anti-grain, and even vegan, Pontzer discusses how all diets succeed or fail: For shedding pounds, a calorie is a calorie. At the same time, we must exercise to keep our body systems and signals functioning optimally, even if it won't make us thinner. Hunter-gatherers like the Hadza move about five hours a day and remain remarkably healthy into old age. But elite athletes can push the body too far, burning calories faster than their bodies can take them in. It may be that the most spectacular athletic feats are the result not just of great training, but of an astonishingly efficient digestive system. Revealing, irreverent, and always entertaining, Pontzer has written a book that will change how you eat, move, and live. |

Sample Book Insights: #1 The body you are looking at right now is the result of your genetics and your habits. It’s as simple as that. You have to make sure that any diet or exercise plan you engage in is worth it before you start. #2 You can choose your habits, and therefore change your body. It may not be the body that society thinks you should have, but it will be the body that is the result of your genetics and your chosen habits. #3 The point is to choose your effort consciously, and then your only job is to be happy with the results. I never look down at my belly and think, Dammit! Why did I screw up at that restaurant when I was out with my friends and have drinks and appetizers. #4 You get to decide what body you want. It may be the body you have right now, or it may be a body with six-pack abs. Either way, your journey to loving your body starts now. |

| exercises at your desk to lose weight: Move a Little, Lose a Lot James Levine, Selene Yeager, 2009 Obesity specialist Dr. Levine says America suffers from sitting disease--the age of electronics has left us less active, by up to 2000 daily calories, than we were thirty years ago. What we need, he says, is to get moving, or nonexercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT). NEAT is as simple as standing, turning, and bending. Research shows that daily NEAT activity burns more calories than an hour on a treadmill, and can boost metabolism, lower blood pressure, and increase mental clarity. Dr. Levine provides literal step-by-step instructions for small changes that equal radical results. With an eight-week movement and eating plan and a fifty-food NEAT calorie counter, this book is a lasting prescription for a more vibrant and healthy life.--From publisher description. |

| exercises at your desk to lose weight: Family Fun and Fitness Knute Keeling, 2009 Parents who are concerned about their child's weight are up against formidable adversaries. Super-sized portions of bad-for-your-kids foods are everywhere. Television, video games, and computer-based socializing are taking over where playgrounds and neighborhood backyards once predominated. Cash-strapped schools and overscheduled family lives are conspiring to keep kids from getting the physical activity and nutritious foods their bodies need. It's no surprise that children in America are getting fatter and unhealthier with each passing year. But, so too are many parents-a child's most influential role models. Family Fun and Fitness is Knute Keeling's plan to help you take back control of your family's health and ensure that your child gets the best possible start. Keeling's plan focuses on the formative years from pre-conception through the early school-age years. At each stage, Keeling shows how you and your child can get moving with physical activities and workout routines (illustrated with photos); eat well with a nutritious diet and nutrition-packed foods (with recipes); and overcome hard-to-resist, less-than-healthful habits with simple strategies (plus some tricks and tips). Keeling includes dozens of great ideas-prenatal boogie sessions, jungle gym workouts, meals with energy foods, and the like-to keep you and your child excited about learning to eat well, exercise regularly, and lose weight. Tapping into his years of training expertise and personal experience as a father of two, Keeling helps parents commit to the hard work involved in making these lifestyle changes, empowers them to lead by their good example, and delivers a plan that promises a lifelong love of exercise and healthful eating, and a whole lot of family fun.
