Why are some people overweight or obese and others remain thin? Simple answers in an easy to understand format are provided in this guide for weight loss and weight maintenance. With all the many things going on in your life, occasionally you have to stop and ask yourself, “What is really important to me?” The answer should be your health! By ridding yourself of an unhealthy eating syndromer and adopting healthy conscious eatingr strategies coupled by an active lifestyler, you can achieve and maintain a healthy weight. Through research and experience we have learned that restrictive diets are not the answer to your weight problem. These diets can be depriving and hard to stay on for very long, and when ended the pounds usually pile back on plus more. Weight loss can be difficult when you do not understand the major aspects of weight gain which encompass psychological aspects, your body’s nutritional needs, and the physiological changes of your body. We have combined those aspects and given you information and strategies to combat individual responses to destructive habits. This guide also describes surgical interventions to obesity such as Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass, Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding, Biliopancreatic Bypass and other Gastroplasty procedures.

We all want to eat well, cut calories and keep ourselves and our families happy and healthy. But with all our commitments and claims on our time--work, school, hobbies, commuting and ferrying our kids to their extracurricular activities--we don't always have time for home-cooked meals. Fast food--whether it's from our favourite "fun night out" restaurant or the "on the way to work" coffee shop--is a reality of our busy lives. But there's no reason it has to be a high-calorie or unhealthy reality. Healthier choices can be made at fast-food restaurants. When we're at A&W's, how many of us know to choose a Mamaburger over a Mozzaburger? At Panago's, a Quattro Cheese on Multigrain Thin Crust pizza over a Primo Vegetarian Hand Tossed pizza? At Starbucks, a Butter Croissant over a Blueberry Scone? At all three of these restaurants, the first option is--surprisingly--the healthier one! Rose Reisman's Choose It and Lose It sets out a selection of the healthier choices for these restaurants and 62 others--Canada's most popular ones--with clear explanations of what makes Rose's choices better. She includes guidance on how to judge ingredients and levels of saturated fats in meals and understand how these contribute to calorie counts and nutritional values. The illustrated, easy-to-use, small-format of this book makes it a handy reference guide for those who want to learn how to deconstruct a restaurant meal at a glance and make the healthy choice every time.

The famous "Family Court" judge has seen disastrous results of people making the wrong choices and draws on those experiences in her book, now available in paperback. Judge Judy presents young readers with questions about situations they face every day, provides a series of possible answers, and asks kids to decide which is the right response. By encouraging parents and children to talk through the answers together and explore the consequences for each action, Judge Judy dares kids to make winning choices for life.
