Time For An Afternoon Chocolate Break?
by Crystal
Health & Wellness / July 18, 2011
It's time for our afternoon chocolate break here at Raincoast Books. We like the good stuff here. My favorite is the Organic Fair Trade Canadiana Bar from Organic Fair. I can't help thinking when I tear this package open "Do I deserve this chocolate?"
Having worked with New Harbinger Titles for a few years now and in particular being familiar with one of their star authors, Dr. Susan Albers, I now know that it is ok to eat chocolate, as long as I am eating it mindfully- AKA I don't scarf down the entire bar while going through the pile of emails that are sitting in my inbox. Instead I should take a few moments and really enjoy every single second of the one or two pieces of chocolate that I eat. Being mindful of the way it melts on my tongue, the flavor and creaminess that coats the back of my throat. Yum. Well, at least I hope that is what she is going to tell me in her new book But I Deserve This Chocolate: The 50 Most Common Diet-Derailing Excuses and How to Outwit Them.
Make sure to check out the book trailer for But I Deserve This Chocolate and preorder the book (coming in August) at your local independent bookstore, Indigo.ca or Amazon.ca.
Happy reading... and chocolate eating.

Carb swapping! No more crazy diets that don’t work!

We just received the new book by bestselling author Jorge Cruise called THE BELLY FAT CURE. I'm truly amazed. After reading the first few chapters and taking a look at the many recipes included, I'm hooked. Really! He suggests a very simple regime of carb swapping. The book gives you sample dishes that are not so healthy and replaces them with the good ones. In turn, hoping to make you lose 4-9 pounds every week. Try it out for yourself (if needed), but please consult your local physician before starting any new diet.
This is one of Jorge's many YouTube video on the subject. He explains that some foods have a high sugar content which is not good for your body (obviously) so he will give you delicious alternatives.
Here's is Jorge's visit to The Today Show (Jan 4, 2010)
Jorge Cruise is the author of 3 consecutive New York Times best-selling series, with more than 5 million books in print in over 15 languages. He has appeared on Oprah, Regis and Kelly, The View, Good Morning America, the Today show, Dateline NBC, and CNN. Go to TheBellyFatCure.com to join Jorge?s free e-mail club.
