Fasting Transformation by Cynthia Thurlow, N. P.

 

My health care provider has encouraged me to do intermittent fasting so being the reader that I am, I have been reading books on the subject. I have actually read a several books on this subject, including Intermittent Fasting Transformation by Cynthia Thurlow.

Intermittent Fasting Transformation is divided into three parts: 

Part One explains intermittent fasting for a healthy body and hormones. This section explains what intermittent fasting is and why it could be helpful with various hormones. It also explains how it may benefit readers at various life stages and ages.

Part Two explains what the Intermittent Fasting Lifestyle is. This section includes what to eat for when you aren't fasting for optimal nutrition, supplements that you may want to consider if you adopt an intermittent fasting lifestyle, and how to prepare for success while intermittent fasting.

Part Three offers a 45-day plan to use intermittent fasting to change your lifestyle. There are food lists and meal plans, including 50 recipes. I haven't tried any of the recipes yet but a few look good to me to try. However, there are some recipes that include pork and I don't personally eat pork. Still, there are enough variety that most people should be able to find some recipes to try. 

I found Intermittent Fasting Transformation to be an easy read. The author writes in such a way that it is easy for the reader to relate and understand this author. The author is a nurse practitioner and functional nutritionist who also used this plan and gave a successful Ted talk on it. I think this book could be helpful for anyone interested in this topic. I have a couple other books that I liked better but this book is easy to read and understand too. 

I received a copy of this book from Avery Publishing All opinions are my own.

Love Overboard by Shannon Sue Dunlap

Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour for Love Overboard by Shannon Sue Dunlap, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours ! My Review: Four older women retire and live year-round on a cruise ship. Together, they are called The Shippers, and they are the matchmakers on the ship. Lacey Anderson is the ship's hostess and Jonathan King is the Cruise director of the ship. Lacey and Jonathan knew each other from another ship. Sparks fly but there are some complications that seem to be difficult to overcome--but The Shippers are a determined group of ladies. At the same time, there is a mystery of who is smuggling cocaine on the cruise line. Are they on this ship? Love Overboard offers a mix of romance, humor, and mystery to the reader. I enjoy older people so I especially liked The Shippers in this book. I also was rooting for Lacey and Jonathan. I enjoyed getting to know the ship crew as well as the other characters. There was a couple of twists near the end of the book that I didn't ...

I was thrilled to be part of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Books this year. . I am a members of Circle 17. . .a group of 5 sisters who committed to reading Lisa Wingate's book, The Story Keeper, and sharing our thoughts with one another. . .a traveling book group. I loved this idea and was truly tickled to get to read an advance copy and partake in all of the fun. I also received a pretty notebook from the sister before me to keep my stories in. First of all, I need to share that this year God has had a running theme in my life that "my story matters." It has shown up in my art journal class, in an on-line Bible study, I received a "Your Story Matters" necklace for Mother's Day from my hubby who is my greatest encourager and then I received my chance to read, The Story Keeper. I know it is no co-incidence. Jen Gibbs is an newly hired editor at Vida House publishing in New York. She has worked in the industry 10 years and Jen knows the ropes and has ...

  Loyally, Luke by Pepper Basham is the third book in the epistolary series following Authentically, Izzy and Positively, Penelope.I have been anxiously awaiting this book and pretty much squealed when it came in the mail! Luke Edgewood is a guy who works in the construction industry and has remodeling skills. He wears flannel and he likes his dogs and he likes his sisters--but he isn't romantic like they are. Or so he says.In Loyally, Luke, Luke goes to Skymar to work a construction job on a orphanage that happens to be in a castle. He also has a run-in with a Princess as he comes in to the country with a migraine in desparate need of coffee--so yeah, that didn't go so well. Later, he finds out that the Grace Kelly look-alike coffee snob is also his co-worker on the orphanage project.Thus begins his own adventure in Skymar, following Izzy and Penelope.  I really enjoyed Loyally, Luke . I enjoyed this whole series. I do think the series is best enjoyed read in order to truly a...
