Wheat Belly (HB) by William Davis

$45.00 NZD

Category: Diet and Nutrition

Every day, over 200 million Americans consume food products made of wheat. As a result, over 100 million of them experience some form of adverse health effect, ranging from minor rashes and high blood sugar to the unattractive stomach bulges that preventive cardiologist William Davis calls "wheat bellie s." According to Davis, that excess fat has nothing to do with gluttony, sloth, or too much butter: It's due to the whole grain wraps we eat for lunch. After witnessing over 2,000 patients regain their health after giving up wheat, Davis reached the disturbing conclusion that wheat is the single largest contributor to the nationwide obesity epidemic - and its elimination is key to dramatic weight loss and optimal health. In "Wheat Belly", Davis exposes the harmful effects of what is actually a product of genetic tinkering and agribusiness being sold to the public as "wheat" - and provides readers with a user-friendly, step-by-step plan to navigate a new, wheat-free lifestyle. Informed by cutting-edge science and nutrition, along with case studies from men and women who have experienced life-changing transformations in their health after waving goodbye to wheat, "Wheat Belly" is an illuminating look at what is truly making people sick and an action plan to clear our plates of this seemingly benign ingredient. ...Show more

The Metabolic Typing Diet by Wolcott William L.

$39.99 NZD

Category: Diet and Nutrition

Here is nutrition's best-kept secret: What works for one person may have no effect on another person, and may make a third person worse. That's why diet books, in general, sell so well - any particular "diet" will work for some, but it will leave others disappointed and looking for the next "miracle die t" to come along. Each individual is genetically unique in the way he or she utilises nutrients on a metabolic level, and THE METABOLIC TYPING DIET is the first and only book to offer men and women a revolutionary, scientifically proven system for discovering their metabolic type and determining their own nutritional needs. Some people thrive on high-protein diets that include meat and dairy products, others are built for high-carbohydrate diets based mainly on vegetables and grains.By taking the self test that William Wolcott has developed and tested over the course of many years, the reader will learn how his or her own internal "engine of metabolism" converts foods and nutrients into "body fuel". And by following the proper diet, he or she will not only achieve an ideal weight, but will also be healthier, more energetic, and mentally alert. THE METABOLIC TYPING DIET provides comprehensive food lists and other dietary instructions, including the proper ratios of protein, carbohydrates, and fat for each metabolic type. Based on a proprietary system available to no one but William Wolcott, this is indeed the very last diet anyone will ever needs. ...Show more

In Defence of Food: An Eater's Manifesto by Michael Pollan

$38.00 NZD

Category: Diet and Nutrition

"Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." These simple words go to the heart of Michael Pollan's In Defence of Food. Humans used to know how to eat well, Pollan argues. But the balanced dietary lessons that were once passed down through generations have been confused, complicated, and distorted by food i ndustry marketers, nutritional scientists, and journalists all of whom have much to gain from our dietary confusion. As a result we face today a complex culinary landscape dense with bad advice and foods that are not 'real'. These 'edible food-like substances' are often packaged with labels bearing health claims that are typically false and misleading. Indeed, real food is fast disappearing from the marketplace, to be replaced by 'nutrients', and plain old eating has been replaced by an obsession with nutrition that is, paradoxically, ruining our health, not to mention our meals. It seems that we have forgotten about the sheer peasure that can come from eating simple, healthy and, most importantly, real food. Michael Pollan's last book, The Omnivore's Dilemma, is currently an extraordinary American bestseller, which for hundreds of thousands of people has shown just how badly wrong the food industry has gone. In Defence of Food is his practical call to action - a bracing and eloquent manifesto that will enrich our lives and our palates, and enlarge our sense of what it means to be healthy and happy. ...Show more
