Dark calories : how vegetable oils destroy our health and how we can get it back / by Shanahan, Catherine,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."In recent years, on the heels of high-profile revelations about nutrition gatekeepers and new technologies that are capable of measuring how foods are metabolized in the body, Dr. Catherine Shanahan has been shouting something new from the rooftops. If you are looking for the most powerful driver of the obesity and nearly all disease epidemics afflicting both young and old, you need look no further than the vegetable oils listed as main ingredients on the packages you buy. If you've had trouble losing weight, or experience heartburn, hypoglycemia symptoms, seasonal allergies, asthma, eczema, frequent headaches, or palpitations, just to name a few symptoms, your body may be giving you early warning signs that it's struggling to control the inflammation induced by seed oils. And that vegetable oil's meteoric rise in our food supply more perfectly parallels the explosion of obesity, diabetes, and other metabolic diseases than any other single variable in the modern diet equation. And it's time to expunge it, for good. Dark Calories is the first book to definitively show that vegetable oil is the defining ingredient in not just junk food but all processed food, from frozen meals, canned soup, pizza, and even your vitamin gummies, and makes the case that eliminating it is the single best thing you can do for your health. Through a narrative account of the speedy rise of the vegetable oil industry, a walk through the science of how it fundamentally alters our cells, and an action plan to help you take your health back into your own hands today, Dr. Catherine Shanahan shows how three factors -- a combination of endless advertising sound bites, undisclosed conflicts of interest in research, and the failure of medicine to focus on prevention -- have destroyed human health and turned nutrition science into a farce"--

Big : stories about life in plus-sized bodies / by Myers, Christina,editor.;
"Pop culture stereotypes, shopping frustrations, fat jokes, and misconceptions about health are all ways society systemically rejects large bodies. BIG is a collection of personal and intimate experiences of plus size women, non-binary and trans people in a society obsessed with thinness. Revealing insights that are both funny and traumatic, surprising and challenging, familiar and unexpected, 26 writers explore themes as diverse as self perception, body image, fashion, fat activism, food, sexuality, diet culture, motherhood and more. These stories offer a closer look at what it means to navigate a world designed to fit bodies of a certain size (sometimes literally) and, in turn, invites readers to ask questions about-- and ultimately reconsider-- our collective and individual obsession with women's bodies. Contributors include Dr. Rohini Bannerjee, Amanda Scriver, Cassie Stocks, Jo Jefferson, Layla Cameron, Rabbit Richards, Sonja Boon, Simone Blais, Tracy Manrell and other writers from across Canada, the US, and the UK."--

I'd like to play alone, please : essays / by Segura, Tom,author.;
From Tom Segura, the massively successful stand-up comedian and co-host of chart-topping podcasts "2 Bears 1 Cave" and "Your Mom's House," hilarious real-life stories of parenting, celebrity encounters, youthful mistakes, misanthropy, and so much more. Tom Segura is known for his twisted takes and irreverent comedic voice. But after a few years of crazy tours and churning out podcasts weekly, all while parenting two young children, he desperately needs a second to himself. It's not that he hates his friends and family - he's not a monster - he's just beat, which is why his son's (ruthless) first full sentence, "I'd like to play alone, please," has since become his mantra. In this collection of stories, Tom combines his signature curmudgeonly humor with a revealing look at some of the ridiculous situations that shaped him and the ludicrous characters who always seem to seek him out. The stories feature hilarious anecdotes about Tom's time on the road, including some surreal encounters with celebrities at airports; his unfiltered South American family; the trials and tribulations of parenting young children with bizarrely morbid interests; and, perhaps most memorably, experiences with his dad who, like any good Baby Boomer father, loves to talk about his bowel movements and share graphic Vietnam stories at inappropriate moments. All of this is enough to make anyone want some peace and quiet.

The everything keto cycling cookbook : 300 recipes for starting--and maintaining--the keto lifestyle / by Boyers, Lindsay,author.;
"The keto diet has taken the world by storm, promising quick weight loss by burning fat for fuel instead of carbs. But the keto diet isn't perfect for everyone. It can be highly restrictive, allowing dieters to only eat a minimal amount of carbs each day, which can be hard to keep up on a long-term basis. The keto cycle diet allows dieters to experience the wonderful benefits of the keto diet without having to give up carbs forever. By adhering to the keto diet for six days of the week and then eating healthy, clean carbs on the seventh-such as brown rice, sweet potatoes, and fruit-followers of the keto cycling diet burn fat and lose weight while still enjoying pasta once in a while. The Everything Keto Cycling Cookbook will help you create keto-friendly meals during the week and healthy carb-forward dishes for that day of free eating. This cookbook features 300 recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and even desserts that will keep you on track and feeling great"--
