It's a fact: the low–carb craze is everywhere Another fact: two–thirds of Americans are still overweight and no one is getting thinner. Although low–carb diets produce short term weight loss, the results are not sustainable in the long term. Dieticians, fitness experts, and medical publications are slowly awakening to the fact that the low–carb diet isn't the answer to weight loss nor a solution to the obesity epidemic.

What is the solution? Jorge Cruise's THE 3–HOUR DIET reveals that timing is the revolutionary weight loss element that has been kept secret until now. By eating small, balanced meals every three hours you reset your body's metabolism and achieve amazing results. Eating every three hours turns off your "starvation protection mechanism" ensuring that fat is released and fat–burning muscle preserved. So get ready to lose 2 pounds each week! All with no calorie counting, no starvation, and no deprivation. Bottom line, timing will sculpt your body slim.

With his now trademark easy–to–follow instructions, accessibility, and client success stories, Jorge Cruise's THE 3–HOUR DIET is a fluid combination of proven success and categorical innovation. Weight loss has never been easier!

Can we know something without being aware that we know it? How does someone with severe amnesia still recognize himself in the mirror? How are we able to erase a traumatic event from our memory? And, how, at only three pounds (80 percent of which is only water), does the human brain give rise to consciousness? How is it capable of outstripping the computational and storage capacities of the most complex computer?

To many of us, the human brain is a mystery. To Shannon Moffett, a Stanford medical student, and to the experts she’s interviewed, it is an irresistible enigma. Moffett takes us down the halls of neuroscience to the front lines of cutting-edge research and medicine to meet some of today’s most extraordinary minds, including

• Dr. Roberta Glick, a neurosurgeon who takes us into the operating room to remove a bullet lodged in a patient’s skull;
• Dr. John Gabrieli, a cognitive neuroscientist who illustrates how and where in the brain we experience emotion;
• neuroscientist Dr. Christof Koch, who worked with the late Nobel Laureate Francis Crick and is on a quest to find the cellular basis of consciousness by studying how we see;
• Dr. Robert Stickgold, a pioneer in dream research who shows how waking life influences dreaming life and vice versa.

With illustrations and extraordinary case histories, The Three-Pound Enigma is engaging, enlightening, and thought-provoking..

The Solution to Dieting!

Almost everyone who wants to lose weight makes a painful discovery: diets don’t work. After following the rules and wrestling with the temptations, nearly all dieters regain what they have lost–and then some. What’s worse, the anger and frustration of constant dieting just make us want to eat more! If only we could turn off the drive to overeat. But that’s impossible, right? Wrong!

Based on the amazingly effective method developed by weight-loss expert Laurel Mellin, The 3-Day Solution Plan will give you a powerful, step-by-step plan to turn off the drive to overeat while shedding up to six pounds! A proven program for lasting weight loss without dieting, The Solution Method was developed by Mellin at the University of California, San Francisco’s School of Medicine. Health magazine named it one of the 10 top medical advances of 2000. But this is the first time The Solution Method has been made accessible to everyone as a results-oriented jumpstart to the program–and it only takes three days.

The life-changing potential of The Solution Method is that it directly addresses the feeling brain, the home of our most primitive urges, like eating. Other weight loss programs are based on knowledge and planning–activities of the thinking brain. The problem is that there is no significant relationship between the feeling brain and the thinking brain. Reason can’t make anyone stop wanting a cookie.

But as Solution participants attest: this program works. Two- and six-year follow-up studies have shown The Solution to produce weight loss without dieting and unparalleled results in terms of keeping it off. In just three days you will get started with the method and

• Lose up to six pounds without dieting
• Learn how to turn off the drive to overeat
• Follow the simple and healthy 1-2-3 Eating Plan
• Find out how fantastic you can feel every day!

The highly anticipated conclusion to Rumiko Takahashi's classic series One-Pound Gospel. Years in the making?

There's a new face around Mukaida's gym--a wannabe teenage pugilist who'll do anything to prove he's got what it takes to be a fighter... So why is he always sucker punching coach Mukaida? Can Kosaku bounce back from a bout with food poisoning in time to correct this young tough's bad attitude? Later, Kosaku strikes a bargain with Sister Angela. If he wins his next big eight-round fight, she'll agree to spend Christmas with him. Sounds simple enough, so why is the Mother Abbess forbidding Kosaku from punching his opponent's midsection? Could it have something to do with the Mexican fighter's religious tattoo?

Kosaku is a professional boxer whose constantly fluctuating weight, and inability to abstain from hearty food, is the bane of his coach's existence. Sister Angela is a young, dedicated and fairly naive nun who catches Kosaku's eye. Can her faith redeem Kosaku's gluttony?.

Win the SUGAR War
100 Real-Life Stories of Conquering Cravings-And Pounds

Nature never intended for us to live without sugar. In fact, our love of sweets is programmed into our genes. It guaranteed our survival as a species.

Of course, Nature never anticipated the serve-yourself soda fountains at convenience stores, the dessert trays in restaurants, or the candy displays at supermarket checkouts. These days, we can eat as much sugar as we want. And we want too much.

When we overindulge in sweets, it's not just our waistlines that suffer. Various studies have linked excessive sugar consumption with conditions ranging from fatigue and tooth decay to immune dysfunction, nutritional deficiencies, and insulin resistance and diabetes.

Even though we don't need to give up sugar completely, just cutting back can seem daunting--especially when our genes are saying, "Go ahead! Eat up!" But you can do it. Win the Sugar War will show you how, using real-world solutions from real-life women and men who tamed their appetites for sweets and, in many cases, trimmed unwanted pounds to boot.

Bethanny Davis dropped from a size 16 to a 10 once she found that she could satisfy her chocolate tooth with miniature candy bars. Robert Fisher lost 70 pounds in 6 months by taking walks to shake off his midafternoon sugar cravings. Ruby Goldsmith shed 80 pounds--and brought her diabetes under control--after she started sending leftover desserts home with her dinner guests.

Their stories, and 97 others, will touch your heart and stoke your willpower. If they can succeed in defeating their "sugar genes," you can, too!
