Summary
Drawing on biochemistry research that suggests sugar temporarily elevates one's moods, nutritionist Kathleen Des Maisons offers a reduced-sugar diet plan for readers who wish to eliminate their cravings for sweets, but not that "feel good" high desserts may bring. Consistent with the advice she offered in POTATOES NOT PROZAC, Des Maisons advises readers to consume a potato each night, which may increase the production of the mood-boosting brain chemical serotonin. This plan completely excludes sugar while allowing readers to eat meat, whole grains, dairy products, and moderate amounts of complex carbohydrates.

Publisher's Notes
Building on the science of nutrition that she presented in the enormously popular POTATOES NOT PROZAC, Dr. Desmaisons now presents easy, eminently do-able techniques and solutions for freeing the mind and body from the tyranny of sugar cravings and the the exhaustion, mental fogginess, and lack of concentration that result. Going beyond her previous work and even beyond other groundbreaking books on the insulin/craving connection such as PROTEIN POWER AND SUGAR BUSTERS!, Dr. Desmaisons teaches readers how they can actually change their body brain biochemistry with food and natural supplements.

Potatoes Not Prozac
by Kathleen Desmaisons
In her book, Potatoes Not Prozac, Kathleen DesMaisons, Ph.D., addictive nutrition expert, reveals that emotional troubles such as mood swings or depression often can't be fought by medication. Her radical new way of finding and maintaining mental and physical health offers instead a prescription for altering our eating habits. Millions of people are sugar-sensitive - which means they have a special body chemistry that reacts in extreme ways to sugar and refined carbohydrates like white bread and pasta. DesMaisons reveals that these "comfort" foods actually provide just the opposite effect, triggering feelings of exhaustion, hopelessness and low self-esteem. What's worse, these foods don't stop our cravings for them - they only make us want to go back for more. In addition to food charts, questionnaires to determine your own sugar sensitivity, and accessible scientific lessons that explain your body chemistry, DesMaisons provides a straightforward seven-step plan to overcome your addictions. There is no regime of measurements or self-denial: you tailor the plan to your tastes and lifestyle. These steps are actually more liberating than any diet could be. You will no longer settle for the short-term relief from pain or problems that cookies or ice cream might give you. You will find the optimism, energy and high self-esteem you have craved for so long. Because DesMaisons is committed to her own recovery, she is a compassionate, skilled guide in navigating you through this process, one choice at a time.

An Invitation to Health
by Dianne Hales
AN INVITATION TO HEALTH, Twelfth Edition has been a best-selling personal health text for many years, largely due to its ability both to introduce the topics of health and wellness and also to inspire students to put the facts of what makes good health and wellness into practice. The unique approach of Dianne Hales' text revolves around the student focus (i.e. examples students can relate to, contemporary coverage, visual appeal, testing preparation). This text is comprehensive in coverage and includes the latest research and data on topics students care about, from personal relationships to eating habits and understanding health risks. Because changing for life is a major theme of this edition, a new "Your Life Coach" section presents practical information on how to make healthful changes. To enhance the critical thinking aspect, case studies have been added in each chapter that will present a personal issue involving making a healthy choice. Also, "You Decide" boxes in each chapter ask a controversial question for student reflection, such as same-sex marriage and legalization of marijuana. They are also linked to personal response system "clicker" content and a new online journal. Additionally, with this updated Twelfth Edition, there is the new HealthNOW Online assessment and learning tool, including pre- and post-tests, a personalized behavior change plan, and activities to add enjoyment to learning and allow students to explore, experience, and better understand the benefits of healthy living. We also now offer Pedometers, over 500 PowerPoint® slides, new ABC® video clips, and much more. The Twelfth Edition continues to offer the same great content, features, and support materials, and now is taking it even further by emphasizing the importance of behavior change and developing life skills.
Lifetime Physical Fitness And Wellness

Now in its Ninth Edition, this proven text -- with its uniquely strong emphasis on using behavior modification techniques to achieve healthy lifestyle habits -- has been praised across the country for its ability to help students realize their highest potentials for health, fitness, and well-being. Each chapter guides students in developing a personalized fitness and wellness program by allowing them to chart and update their progress as they meet their goals. The Hoegers integrate activities throughout each chapter (instead of at the end of chapters) so students can complete each fitness and wellness experience as the concepts are introduced. It doesn't stop there! Three powerful resources -- the PROFILE PLUS 2007 CD-ROM, PERSONAL DAILY LOG, and INFOTRAC COLLEGE EDITION -- are all automatically packaged with this edition of the Hoegers' text! PROFILE PLUS gives students unprecedented flexibility in making lifestyle changes by providing additional assessments, a behavior change plan, nutrition analysis tools, and exercise logs and prescriptions. It also includes interactive quizzes to help students master and remember the concepts presented in the text. A PERSONAL DAILY LOG allows students to track their progress toward goals they may set for themselves. Included also are suggestions for achieving test success, a variety of records and tables to track fitness activities such as body composition, body mass index, aerobic and strength training logs, and much more! INFOTRAC COLLEGE EDITION provides students with additional resources for obtaining information about topics discussed in the course. This all inclusive package gives students a wealth of tools to help them explore, experience, and better understand the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.
