Fear Less or Breaking out of Food Jail

Fear Less: Real Truth About Risk, Safety, and Security in a Time of Terrorism

Author: Gavin de Becker

Gavin de Becker's landmark book The Gift Of Fear showed millions of readers how to better protect themselves from violence and unwarranted fear. Now, in Fear Less, de Becker answers the questions many Americans have been asking since September 11th:

• Can air travel be safe?
• What is the risk of biological or chemical attack?
• Can the government detect and prevent future acts?
• How can we best talk to our children about what has happened and what might happen?
• What can we do to reduce fear and worry?
• What specific steps can we take to reduce terrorism?
• What are terrorists likely to do next?
• Most simply, is everything going to be all right?

De Becker says, "Just as your imagination has placed you in frightening situations, it is now time to place yourself in empowering situations, time to see that you have a role to play, and contrary to so many TV news stories, it isnit just victim-in-waiting."

Fear Less offers specific recommendations that can enhance our national security and our individual safety р and help put fear into perspective. Nobody in the world understands risk and safety better than Gavin de Becker. At a time of uncertainty, terrorism, and a whole new set of rules, it is hard to imagine a more important, more reassuring, and more necessary book than Fear Less.

Breaking out of Food Jail: How to Free Yourself from Diets and Problem Eating, for Once and for All

Author: Jean Antonello

FINALLY YOU CAN SET YOURSELF FREE

If you've tried every diet out there, if you've counted every gram of fat, every last calorie and every meal exchange, and you're still fighting the food wars, it's time for Breaking Out of Food Jail, a commonsense approach to food, eating, and appetites.

Jean Antonello's practical, step-by-step program pinpoints and eliminates the most common cause of eating problems—the fear of overeating. That's right—if you've tried everything and you're still battling your appetite, it's probably because you're not getting enough to eat at the right time. When you deprive your body of food for any reason—and as you do on most diels—your body goes into a famine state. Your hunger soars, along with cravings for fatty foods and sugars—the foods your body can most quickly turn into stored fuel to protect you from starvation. If you're like most dieters, you eventually respond to those signals by bingeing. And then you go back to your restrictive eating and start the cycle all over again. Breaking Out of Food Jail will release you from this trap and show you:

* How not eating enough results in cravings, overeating, disturbed eating behavior, and weight gain

* How the "feast or famine" pattern undermines even the most conscientious eater

* How to have a normal relationship with food—including learning to eat whenever you're hungry and stopping when you are full

* Why most eating problems are not psychological but physiological

* How to prevent eating problems in children and young adults by teaching kids how to tune into their hunger and eat right

Filled with self-tests,affirmations, simple exercises, and the latest research on dieting, as well as Jean's list of "real foods" that should be in every refrigerator and pantry, Breaking Out of Food Jail will transform your relationship with food and your body and eliminate dieting from your life, once and for all.
