The Cortisol Connection Diet: The Breakthrough Program to Control Stress and Lose Weight
In his best-selling The Cortisol Connection, Dr. Shawn Talbott explained how elevated levels of the cortisol hormone, when triggered by stress, will increase appetite, enhance fat storage, disrupt blood sugar control, and eventually lead to obesity that can cause diabetes and other serious conditions. This concise follow-up puts Talbott’s cortisol control, diet, and exercise ideas into an accessible format.
The Cortisol Connection Diet shows beleaguered dieters how to eat for quality and for quantity at every meal. It focuses on the quality of carbs, fats, and proteins as well as the quantity, and explains how to use food, exercise, and dietary supplements to control cortisol and blood sugar. Most importantly, the book shows readers how to change their metabolic response to food and shed those seemingly impossible last 20 pounds. Included are a three-week log to chart diet, exercise, and supplements; and a sample regimen for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and supplements.

Fat To Fit, Bit… By… Bit: Or What to Do When the Other Diet and Exercise Programs Fail You!
As a natural health practitioner, Dr. Doholis has always been interested in diet and supplementation, as part of the normal regimen of his patients, along with their structural years, of a minor nature, necessitating occasionally, going on limited calorie diets to help move the needle back down on the weight scale. Recently however, after developing a knee problem eventually requiring an operation and arthroscopy on the knee, he gained over 30 pounds in the injury and recovery process. Rather than going on a ‘quick fix’ diet to rid himself of the extra weight, he instead did more extensive personal research into many of the top diets, trying a few of them and realized that many did not actually promote overall ‘health,’ as part of the final process or goal. Most diets and exercise programs are essentially ‘quick fix systems,’ that give you limited return for your efforts since, you usually end up back where you started, or worse, in 3-6 months!This, then is the essence of the book, Fat to Fit, Bit by Bit, promoting a proper healthy diet, an exercise program that is multi-faceted in nature, along with motivation, and rest and a proper functioning nervous system as integral components of GOOD LONG TERM HEALTH!The most important benefit is, it puts HEALTH as the final goal in the process, with small behavioral changes over time, to accomplish that result. It is not a quick fix system but rather a methodical ongoing process of goals and results. As an additional thought, even if you don’t lose all the weight you want, or become the sculptured physical specimen, you expect after doing what you do, you will have gained SOME measure of better health, over the long term, and be better off for it.
16 books.Step Forward: A Christian 12-Step Program to Lose Weight and Keep It Off, Participant’s Workbooks, Unit 1
The “Step Forward” series is designed for small groups. It is a 12-Step Bible study that focuses on losing weight by drawing closer to Christ. Each of the four 12-week units comes with a corresponding Participant’s Handbook as well as a step-by-step Leader’s Guide.
AA’s 12 Steps have helped millions of people for over 50 years to draw closer to God so that He could help them to deal with their weaknesses.
AA has kindly given Step Forward permission to adapt their steps. Step Forward’s 12 Steps are similar to AA’s, with 2 big differences: Step Forward’s 12 Steps refer to food as the primary problem, not alcohol and they do not refer to “God as we understand him.” They refer to God by name: “God through Jesus Christ.”
In Unit 1 you begin the exciting adventure to permanent weight loss by taking Steps 1 and 2. You will start the first lesson by taking turns listing ways that overeating has harmed you. How relieved you will be to finally find a group of people who understand where you’re coming from! It’s fun to talk about experiences that you have in common with your “ex-best friend” FOOD. Though it’s no fun to look at the harm that overeating has done, you’ll feel good because you’re starting on your journey in recovery with supportive new friends who are coming along with you.
In the first unit you will begin to get to the roots of your food problem by discussing things like…
1. The role food played in your childhood.
2. How to break bad habits and vicious cycles
3. How to get rid of (fattening!) resentments.
4. How to deal with problems so you won’t eat over them.
As you work on Step 2, you will learn more about God by discussing…
1. What the Bible says about what God is really like.
2. How to have life-changing 20-minute daily quiet times.
3. How to recognize and overcome misconceptions about God.
4. How to let go and let God have your problems.
In the “Physical Focus” part of each lesson, which always deals with weight-loss topics, you will learn things like…
1. How to choose “bargain foods”–ones low in calories and fat and high in taste and nutritional value.
2. How to read “shocking” food labels.
3. How to make progress instead of excuses.
Unit 1 can be used as a 12-Week Bible study, or if the group wants to continue, it can be the foundation for Units 2-4.
To start a group, leaders need to purchase a Unit 1 “Leader’s Guide” and “Participant’s Handbook” for themselves and a “Participant’s Handbook” for each member. It is also very helpful for each member to have a copy of “Step Forward Diet,” an easy-to-read overview of the program designed for individuals who are not part of a group or to help group members to work the program in a deeper way.

The Schwarzbein Principle II: The “Transition” – A Regeneration Program to Prevent and Reverse Accelerated Aging
This follow-up book to the 250,000-copy best-seller The Schwarzbein Principle shows people how to stop accelerated aging.
In her very successful book, The Schwarzbein Principle, renowned endocrinologist Diana Schwarzbein introduced her scientifically proven conclusion that degenerative diseases are not genetic, but acquired.
Many studies have supported this, proving that life expectancy is 75 to 90 percent due to habits and only 10 to 25 percent due to genetics. This means that someone who is genetically destined to die at age 100 may not live past age 60 because of poor habits and lifestyle choices that cause accelerated aging and premature death. Conversely, a person can live to 100 and be functionally healthy.
In this highly anticipated follow-up, Diana Schwarzbein, M.D., goes beyond the diet she introduced in her first book-which literally helped thousands of people lose weight-and offers a personalized anti-aging program for readers to heal their metabolisms and stop advanced aging in its tracks.
Weaving in groundbreaking research and provocative case studies-including her own regeneration and that of her clients-she will lead you through a series of eye-opening questionnaires, which identify where you are on your path to either accelerated or healthy aging.
Based your answers, she leads you to the “how-to” sections, which explain, in easy-to-follow and personalized detail, the steps you need to take to restore healthy functioning. For each unique situation, she covers five areas: Nutrition, Hormone Replacement Therapy (if needed), Tapering Off Toxic Chemicals or Avoiding Them Completely, Cross-Training Exercises and Stress Management.
The Schwarzbein Principle II is sure to follow the success of the first book and will help people live a more healthful lifestyle by embracing a regeneration process to prevent and reverse accelerated aging.
