In The New Rules of Lifting for Women, authors Lou Schuler, Cassandra Forsythe and Alwyn Cosgrove present a comprehensive strength, conditioning and nutrition plan destined to revolutionize the way women work out. All the latest studies prove that strength training, not aerobics, provides the key to losing fat and building a fit, strong body. This book refutes the misconception that women will "bulk up" if they lift heavy weights. Nonsense! It's tough enough for men to pack on muscle, and they have much more of the hormone necessary to build muscle: natural testosterone. Muscles need to be strengthened to achieve a lean, healthy look. Properly conditioned muscles increase metabolism and promote weight loss -- it's that simple. The program demands that women put down the "Barbie" weights, step away from the treadmill and begin a strength and conditioning regime for the natural athlete in every woman. The New Rules of Lifting for Women will change the way women see fitness, nutrition and their own bodies.

Say goodbye to gas, bloating, stomach pain, and constipation and take back your gut health with a low FODMAP diet from Prevention magazine! Cassandra Forsythe has struggled with gastrointestinal issues ever since she can remember, trying every medication, treatment, and meal plan she could find. Finally, she discovered the low FODMAP diet—and it completely changed her life. FODMAPs are a group of specific short-chain carbohydrates that can be hiding in both healthy and unhealthy foods, such as cherries, some nuts, and garlic, and can wreck havoc on digestive systems of people who are sensitive to or intolerant of them. Ecstatic about her quickly disappearing GI issues, Dr. Forsythe began blogging about her experience, and immediately found that she was not alone. People from all over the world started to contact her, sharing their stories and asking for guidance and advice about the plan. If you are sick and tired of being bloated, gassy, and irregular; have been diagnosed with IBS and then left hanging with no clear treatment or solution; or have tried every medication, probiotic, and miracle cure available, then look no further—the No Bloat Diet is the ultimate guide to taking back your life and health.

Let's face it—women simply do not shed pounds or build muscle as easily as men do. Drawing on fascinating recent research that has shed new light on the gender differences in food metabolism and the effect of exercise, the editors of Women's Health, the healthy lifestyle magazine for today's active woman on the go, have devised a weight-loss plan that works especially well for women who would like to lose 5-25 pounds. Key features of the Women's Health Perfect Body Plan include: • Glucomannan, a soluble fiber that helps dieters feel full faster—and therefore eat less throughout the day • Meal plans that contain at least 40 grams of fiber per day • An adjustment for the impact of female hormones on weight loss (women need a higher protein diet than men to increase lean body tissue and decrease body fat) • Dieting techniques that revolve around psychological needs and personal goals and lifestyle • Two diet plans to choose from—one higher in fats and lower in carbs; the other higher in carbs and lower in fats (simple food tests help women choose the type they need) In addition to the customized eating plan—complete with 75 easy-to-prepare recipes—there is a vigorous customized fitness program consisting of 50 exercises that brings results in just three weeks.
