 | Prevention Fiber Up Slim Down Cookbook: A Four-Week Plan to Cut Cravings and Lose Weight
Brand: Rodale Books
<DIV><DIV>While common dieting wisdom suggests that those who need to lose weight must be eating too much, the newest discoveries in weight loss science now reveal that whatâs not being eaten can hinder weight reduction. Fiber is turning out to be the silver bullet of dietingâbecause it can fill you up on fewer calories, dampen cravings for fattening foods, and dramatically improve your overall health. <P></P>Consuming the right amount of dietary fiber can have profound health benefits. It can cut the risk of heart disease by 30 percent; lower cholesterol by as much as 13 points; decrease inflammation; drop blood pressure; balance blood sugar; improve memory; reduce the risk for breast, colon, and endometrial cancer; and boost the immune system. Unfortunately, ramping up fiber levels too quickly can also cause digestive distress. With an easy-to follow, 4 week plan, <I>Preventionâs Fiber Up Slim Down Cookbook</I> shows how to switch over to high-fiber living without experiencing excessive gas or uncomfortable bloating. <P></P><P>Of course, for any weight-loss plan to work, the food must be fabulous. <I>Preventionâs Fiber Up Slim Down Cookbook</I> is packed with more than 200 delicious, fiber-rich recipes that work with any fiber-rich diet plan including home-style dishes like Roasted Sweet and Russet Potato Salad and Momâs Turkey Meatloaf, tasty new favorites like Curried Beef with Pineapple and Coconut, and sweet treats like GingerâSweet Potato Cheesecake and Pumpkin Fruitcake. </P></DIV></DIV> | *$12.02 |
 | The Art of Making Fermented Sausages
Brand: Bookmagic LLC
The majority of books written on making sausages do not tackle the subject of fermented sausages at all. The topic is limited to a statement that this is an advanced field of sausage making which is not recommended for an amateur sausage maker. Well, the main reason for writing this book was that the authors did not share this opinion. On the contrary, they believed that any hobbyist could make wonderful salami at home, if he only knew how. Highly technical papers were published in Food Technology journals which unfortunately were written in very difficult terms. Thus the idea of bridging the technology gap that existed between Meat Science and the requirements of the typical hobbyist was born. With more information obtainable every day, and commercial starter cultures available to the public, there is little reason to abstain from making quality salamis at home, regardless of the climate and outside conditions. | *$12.89 |
