In Depression, When the Darkest Hour is Every Hour, the author talks candidly about the decades he spent in the grips of this crippling condition, how low he sunk, what the turning point was, and how he overcame chronic isolation, negativity, despair and suicidal ideation. The author also talks about historical figures who also battled depression and how they managed it (without the help of today's advanced treatments and medications). Much of the book is dedicated to outlining strategies, diet and lifestyle changes that helped the author overcome depression, as well as an entire chapter on psychotropic medications; the good, the bad and the ugly. Various therapeutic styles are discussed and evaluated. All in all this book gives the reader a thorough manual on depression, how it affects the mind, the symptoms, how to treat it, how to halt depressive episodes, how to transcend negative thinking and train the mind to focus on the positive, finding help for deep -seated emotional trauma, spirituality, helpful holistic practices and much, much more. If you suffer from mild, severe or chronic depression (or if you know someone who does), this book will prove itself to be invaluable and a crucial tool on the journey of recovery.
Welcome to How to Lose 40 Pounds (Or More) in 30 Days With Water Fasting, a complete manual for fast and permanent weight loss. We will talk about water fasting, what it is, how it works and how it can help you lose weight faster than any other method known to man. I'll promptly give you a list of banned foods along with a shopping list and menu options to launch a 14-day pre-fasting diet, a simple but powerful calorie restriction regimen designed to kick start weight loss and detoxification - before the actual water fast begins. Hunger and fasting detox symptoms are discussed in detail and we'll look at a variety of tricks and mental techniques that can help you traverse the rough spots without throwing in the towel. We'll also talk about and look at various scientific studies which continue to provide proof that fasting and calorie restriction are beneficial for human health and quality of life. This book is not for the squeamish, lazy or for those seeking the 'easy way.' Fasting is hard medicine, but it will get the job done beyond your wildest dreams. Yes, you will go through discomfort, but it will be more than worth it when you see the new image of yourself in the mirror!
This Second Edition release of How to Lose 30 Pounds (Or More) in 30 Days with Juice Fasting outlines a very powerful plan that can slim you down and detoxify your body faster and more thoroughly than any other method know to man.And now, I've also included an entire chapter with more than 50 juicing recipes that will add variety (and great taste) to this important undertaking. Snke oil and pie in the sky, bye and bye are a dime a dozen. But I have yet to find a weight loss program that wields the same profound results that fasting does. Having been around for thousands of years, fasting has true and time-tested efficacy; when done properly, it will ALWAYS help you to lose weight fast and thoroughly deep-cleanse your system. Fasting also rejuvenates the entire body, often making one look years younger. I recall the triple chin and black bags under my eyes. After the fast, they were gone... my mother said I had turned back the clock at least ten years. Regular fasting and calorie restriction is also said to extend life because the body detoxifies frequently and consistently. Who doesn't want to look a few years younger, right?
Author, Robert Dave Johnston, fasting coach and webmaster of FitnessThroughFasting.com, presents the powerful five-prong intermittent fasting system that helped him overcome obesity, lose 100 pounds and, more importantly, keep it off for more than 10 years. And here's the good news: The weight loss numbers provided by intermittent fasting are very doable. Whether you only need to lose a few pounds, or if you are an athlete seeking for ways to reduce body-fat, or if you are overweight or even seriously obese, the intermittent fasting machine can help you take a quantum leap towards the TOTAL attainment of your goals. I'm not talking about losing 'some' of the weight. With intermittent fasting, you can lose ALL of the weight in a period of time. For instance, by cutting out some foods from your diet and then practicing periods of fasting of just a few hours per week (for starters), it is possible to lose weight very quickly. How much? A 4-hour fast, 3 times per week can actually produce weight loss of 7-to-10 pounds per month (or more, depending on your body makeup and what you eat).

The "Permanent Weight Loss" Diet is designed to be the last diet that you will ever have to do... and - if adopted as a lifestyle - you will NOT gain back any of the weight that you lost.

That is why it is important to have mental tools readily-available that can neutralize these mental enemies before they sabotage your progress.
In Binge Free, I present the story of my descent to the depths of hell with binge-eating disorder, my journey back to humanity and the various mental techniques and lifestyle changes that helped me to overcome 25 years of isolation, depression and binging insanity. While this killer sickness caused me to lose my humanity, dignity and hope for life, I managed to escape and, through hard work and determination, have found restoration, peace and happiness. If there be any reason for me to still live, I hope that it's to reach-out to others who suffer and share with them the tools that helped me to recover, and have kept me binge free for ten years. My message is that you, too, can attain this freedom. Binge eating is a sickness that lives in the mind and uses our own thoughts, feelings and memories to entice and trap us. Therefore, to achieve long-term recovery, it is imperative to have a suitable arsenal of mental strategies to counterattack, expose the lies and say NO to binging. Together with a series of lifestyle changes that I suggest, this book gives you the goods straight from the experience of a food addict that survived the assault of binge-eating disorder. I hold nothing back and give you practical tips and tools that you can put to use right away so that you can learn to vanquish the binge eating monster once and for all.

* In short, would you like to SOLVE the weight problem once and for all and enjoy your life thin and with a healthy relationship with food? Helping you to accomplish all of these points is what this book is all about.Here's the bottom line: I was stuck in obesity and binge eating for more than 20 years, during which time I 'trained' myself to believe and act upon all sorts of destructive and negative nonsense. I ate everything and anything that the mind and belly wanted. THEN I realized that if I wanted to be free of this poisonous mental chatter, I would have to work at identifying (and overwriting) the conscious and subconscious "fat" patterns that fed the insanity and kept me eating in excess and at the wrong times; the patterns that made me weak in the sight of food and caused me to always be nibbling, grazing and eating, eating and eating. I was fed up and wanted to overcome obesity once and for all. I had to create a new mental program that supported and facilitated my goals rather than destroy them.
