She found more than 100 second-youth foods and, according to the publisher, within six months looked like her own daughter.
The 415-page hardbound book is in Very Good condition with no apparent defects. The dust jacket is present and has only some very minor edge/corner wear. (5638)

Great American Food Hoax
While food prices have been rising right through the supermarket roof, the nation's level of nutrition has steadily declined. So says Sidney Margolius, author of THE GREAT AMERICAN FOOD HOAX.
In this informative, hard-hitting book, the author quotes government and private studies to prove his disclosures. The finger points straight at a government-manufacturer alliance as influential as the military-industrial one. Its ‘Pentagon,’ says Margolius, is the U.S. Department of Agriculture -- nowadays often the chief apologist for high food prices.
As a consequence, the public pays up to ten times more than it should for many modern processed foods. These often are merely ordinary foods combined with flavorings and cheap fillers like fat, water, and sugar -- consumer-fooling practices that are perfectly legal.
If this book makes you angry -- or laugh -- it also can plug some gaping holes in your food budget. Filled with expert food shopping information, much of which you can't get elsewhere, it tells you how to recognize the few good buying options open to you. It can cut your food bill up to 20% . That's food for thought!
The 216-page hardbound book was published in this 1971 second printing by Walker & Co., New York. It is in Very Good condition – despite being ex lib with the usual library markings, there is no apparent damage to either the book or the mylar-protected dust jacket. (5868)

Stop the Insanity, The Way You Look
Written by Susan Powter, STOP THE INSANITY! describes the insane multimillion-dollar diet industry that fails to help women lose weight permanently, the fitness industry that excludes the unfit, and women who hate the way they look and feel. Not a physician, nutritionist, dietician or fitness expert, the author says she is a housewife who ‘figured it out.’
She explains why 98% of diets fail; why counting calories doesn’t work; how you’re set up to fail; why you’ll never lose weight on a diet; and how the brands you trust are lying to you.
Finally, she shows how you can eat more and weigh less; make the choices to change the way you look and feel; exercise at any weight, any age and any fitness level; lose body fat and increase your strength and cardio-endurance; eat, breathe and move; stop treating symptoms and solve the problem permanently.
The 363-page hardbound book was published in 1993 by Simon & Schuster, New York. This copy is in Very Good condition with only very minor edge/corner wear to the dust jacket. Covers and inside pages show no apparent defects. (5308/25r)

Hidden Assassins, Food Hazards
Booth Mooney's THE HIDDEN ASSASSINS is a shocking account of the hazards in the food we eat and the need for safeguards to protect our nation's health. Published in this FIRST PRINTING in 1966 by Follett Publishing, Chicago, the 230-page hardbound book discusses numerous potential dangers.
Included are food-processing chemicals, food additives, pesticides, illegal industry practices, adulterants, contaminants, filth and more. Mooney cites case histories and provides careful documentation to show that these are not simple problems. Neither the government nor the food industry, he says, gives the consumer adequate protection.
The book is in Very Good condition, although it is ex lib with the usual library markings. The cover are protected by a Mylar-covered dust jacket and there are no apparent defects inside or out.
The true stories here are chilling … and one must wonder how much the food industry has changed in the past 30 years. It's a frightening view - and worth reading for your own protection! (3129/r26)

The 21st Century Diet
'As an occasional dieter myself, I was particularly interested in how to go about dieting once -- and make that once enough. Surely, I thought, there must be a solution to keeping weight under control forever, without constant monitoring. I did not mind the thought of making one big effort to get down to the proper weight, but what I did detest was having to make that effort over and over. Once should be enough!'
So begins Lynne Waller Scanlon's THE 21ST CENTURY DIET, published in this FIRST EDITION in 1984 by St. Martin's Press, New York. It is the first book to synthesize the knowledge gathered from over three decades of research on hospitals and laboratories throughout the world.
The research involves the revelations of bioecology, indicating a link between food allergy and obesity. It applies the discoveries of chronobiology, which shows how human body processes have cycles that affect weight gain and loss depending on the time of the day and season of the year. It takes into account the body's innate biological rhythms, whose origins lie in our evolutionary past.
From these and other discoveries, the author has compiled a practical, effective weight-loss plan based on the way our bodies really work. It's an excitingly different plan, stressing the Food Rotation concept, which offers many different food families to stimulate the dieter's interest, while accomplishing a gradual and permanent weight loss and (not incidentally a) building a healthier body.
Using the tools of this book, today's dieter can confidently face the future with the knowledge that will allow all of us to conquer weight gain once and for all!
This book is in NEAR FINE condition, with no defects at all on the book itself. The dust jacket is present and is nearly as good as the book, although it does have some very minor edge wear. It can sure help you succeed with your New Year's resolution!

101 Low Sodium Recipes
Do salt-free dishes lack that old zing you crave? Put the zest – but not the sodium – back into mealtimes – with big-taste, full-flavored dishes. America’s #1 food expert, Corinne T. Netzer, has created 101 LOW SODIUM RECIPES that are either salt-free or extremely low in sodium.
The 214-page softcover book was published in this 1991 FIRST edition by Dell Publishing, New York. It includes taste-tempting recipes for stocks/sauces/dressings, appetizers and starters, soups and chowders, meats, poultry, fish and shellfish, pasta and grains, vegetables and desserts. The sodium count per portion is noted.
Although for many people the taste for salt eventually decreases, simply eliminating the problem ingredient in many cases left a food that was bland and unappealing. This book solves that problem – and this copy is in Very Good condition with no apparent defects inside or out! (6380)
