Diet for Quick and Lasting Weight Loss
by Kitty Gurkin Rosati and Robert Rosati
The Rice Diet Program in Durham, North Carolina, was one of the

and more effectively than people on any other diet. Men lose on
average twenty-eight to thirty pounds and women on average nineteen
to twenty pounds per month! The Rice Diet also detoxes your body,
ridding it of excess water weight and toxins from processed foods
and the environment. The program's results have been documented
by extensive studies; after all the other diets out there have failed
them, people find that the Rice Diet is the one that finally works
-- for good.
Natural
Highs: Supplements, Nutrition, and Mind-Body Techniques to Help
You Feel Good All the Time
by Hyla Cass and Patrick Holford
What does it take to make you feel "high"? Do you routinely
reach for caffeine, alcohol, cigarettes, or sugary snacks to get
you through the day? Unfortunately, these quick fixes don't work
long-term, and often contribute further to the underlying problems
of fatigue, depression, brain fog, and anxiety. In Natural Highs,
two leading authorities in psychology and nutrition present a prescriptive
breakthrough program based on nutritional supplements, herbs, and
simple mind-body therapies that will help to increase energy, sharpen
the mind, elevate mood, relax the body, and beat stress. They show
how to formulate the perfect "brainfood" to improve how
we think and feel, resulting in a greater sense of connection and
joy in everyday life-the natural high.
