Fit2Fat2Fit: The Unexpected Lessons from Gaining and Losing 75 lbs on Purpose
by Drew ManningA fitness trainer’s true story of gaining 75 pounds so he could better understand his clients’ struggles—and what he learned while getting back in shape.Drew Manning, a fitness junkie and personal trainer, had never been overweight in his life. He never craved junk food or missed an opportunity to work out. Yet despite his obsession, he failed to help his clients reach their goals. Manning decided he needed to understand what it was like to be in his clients’ shoes—or, rather, size.For six months, he radically let himself go. He stopped exercising and ate nothing but the typical American diet of fast and processed foods. Not surprisingly, he gained weight. Manning made national news when he posted a blog revealing that he’d gained more than 60 pounds (he ended up gaining 75). In only half a year, the out-of-shape trainer-turned-blogger had gained more than he ever expected—and not just in pounds.Manning devoted the next six months to losing the weight as quickly as he’d gained it. The lessons he learned from experiencing both sides of the battle were priceless. What started as a physical challenge became an emotional and mental wake-up call. In Fit2Fat2Fit, Manning reveals the practical takeaways and profound insights of his yearlong journey. With startlingly honest stories, concrete, easy-to-implement strategies, recipes, exercises, workout routines, meal plans, and much more, he equips readers to achieve any weight-loss goal. Also included are a chapter by his wife, and before and after (and after) photos.
Fitness & Nutrition: A Teen's Guide To Fitness And Nutrition (Young Adult's Guide to the Science of He #15)
by Christopher HoviusDo you ever wish you were stronger...thinner...more athletic...healthier? Most of us would change at least one thing about ourselves if we could. But real health and happiness aren't dependent on matching yourself against the unrealistic ideals of a model-thin body or a pumped-up body builder's bulging muscles. Instead, fitness and good nutrition are the two factors that can lead to physical and emotional health. When you were younger, your parents told you what to eat. They probably encouraged you to eat the foods that would provide you with the various nutrients you needed to grow. They may have also encouraged you to get regular exercise. But you're older now. You've begun to make your own decisions about what you eat and how active you are. Learning what your body needs to be healthy is an important part of becoming a responsible adult. Taking care of yourself makes sense if you want to be happy and enjoy life. This book will tell you how to be the best you can be!

Five Fat Hens: A Guide for Keeping Chickens and Enjoying Delicious Meals
by Tim HalketA love of eating and of good ingredients led Tim to build a henhouse in the corner of his garden for a daily harvest of fresh eggs. His take on the role of keeping chickens is amusing and insightful, but this book is more than just a DIY guide to keeping a few free-range birds, or a new slant on a chicken-themed cookbook. Much in the style of Nigel Slater’s Kitchen Diaries, it takes the reader through an entire year, month-by-month, skillfully combining the author’s passion for cooking in diary form interwoven with his recipes, thoughts, and observations and with the premise that even the smallest garden can be home to a supply of the freshest eggs imaginable.Tim Halket is neither a trained chef nor a smallholding farmer; his recipes draw on his real-life experience in the kitchen where he reproduces food that he enjoys cooking on a daily basis for his family and friends. He ranges from the highly original such as Duelos y Quebrantos and Persian Chicken Supper through variations on everyday Italian or French classics to simple and comforting nursery food.This timely book passionately describes an appealing style of life and will inspire food lovers whether they intend to keep chickens or not.Skyhorse Publishing, along with our Good Books and Arcade imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of cookbooks, including books on juicing, grilling, baking, frying, home brewing and winemaking, slow cookers, and cast iron cooking.
