Naked Nutrition

As a gay man living in London and working as a nutritionist, Daniel O’Shaughnessy knows that the LGBTQ+ community has specific dietary and health needs. Yet while there is huge demand for this kind of information in his private practice, there is very little reliable public information out there for the community to access – and not everyone can afford a Harley Street nutritionist like him. Naked Nutrition seeks to change that: it is the first LGBTQ+ focused guide to diet and lifestyle, taking an honest, inclusive and non-judgemental approach to the questions Daniel is asked most frequently. It covers a wide range of subjects, giving detailed, practical advice on matters including: weight loss and muscle gain, digestive health issues, addiction, sex, fertility, nutrition for balancing hormones while transitioning, how to eat if you have a chronic condition, and how to mitigate against the party lifestyle.

Naked Nutrition is a guide to why we should eat real food, why it matters, and how we can change our lives to live with health and energy. This book is about more than just recipes. It is an easy-to-follow guide for a lifestyle of healthy eating and living. The book provides a pantry staple list, step-by-step cooking instructions, valuable nutritional information, and photos of completed dishes. Readers will discover a delicious, nutritious transition to a lifestyle of health that can be easy. Food is central to our lives. We store it, serve it at every function, and share time-honored recipes. Naked Nutrition bridges these traditions with healthy eating that will enable readers to fulfill their missions in life.

ABOUT THE BOOK Every woman wants to be attractive and healthy, but not many are able to stay in great shape without spending time and energy dieting and exercising. Of course, most women are busy developing their careers and taking care of their partners and children, which leaves very little free time to take care of their own health. The great number of diets and exercise regimens available on the Internet and in various magazines can create confusion and anxiety rather than providing clear answers.

Fortunately, there are a few diets designed by highly trained medical professionals who dedicate their time to designing comprehensive and easy-to-follow plans based on medical evidence rather than on unverified facts. The Naked Diet Plan, designed by Dr. Mehmet Oz, is a great option for people who are tired of run-of-the-mill fad diets. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Banaba is a plant that contains several biologically active compounds that effectively lower blood sugar and prevent formation of new fat deposits. According to a 2011 study conducted by experts at Creighton University, Medical Center, Omaha, NE, and published in the Phytotherapy Research Journal, Banaba supplementation causes a decrease in blood sugar through an enhanced uptake of sugar by cells. Additionally, Banaba leaf tea is effective in lowering blood cholesterol and has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-viral properties. It means that regular Banaba leaf tea consumption reduces inflammation in the body, protects the tissues against oxidation and damage by toxic substances and prevents viral infections. Dr. Oz recommends consumption of one or two cups of Banaba leaf tea per day. Acetic acid is a natural nutritional component found in vinegar and pickles. It is produced through a process of fermentation by human-friendly bacteria. Medical researchers have observed that countries were vinegar consumption is high have lower rates of obesity. Further medical research confirmed that acetic acid containing products stimulate the burning of fat by activating certain genes responsible for acceleration of metabolism....

One of the nation's elite strength and conditioning coaches presents a unique training program designed to help men achieve functional strength and muscular balance throughout their bodies For decades, the conventional measure of an individual's strength was the amount of weight he could bench press. Now, that measure is being challenged by expert trainers like Robert dos Remedios who argue that the variety of movement patterns used in functional training is the real key to getting bigger, stronger, and more powerful. In Men's Health Power Training, this acclaimed collegiate strength and conditioning coach describes in detail the methods he has used to develop hundreds of Division I scholarship athletes, including several current NFL players. The key features that make this book a standout in the fitness field include: • exercises geared toward functional strength that can be utilized in real-world situations, from playing sports to lifting furniture • training sessions that are short, intense, and highly effective • compound, multijoint exercises that replace the less-effective isolation exercises found in many fitness books • no-nonsense dietary information utilizing a new and innovative food pyramid developed by the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition that will optimize strength gains, recovery, and physical progress
