Life of the Party
by Bob Kealing'She was one of the most important businesswomen of the 20th century, the prototype for all these Facebook and Google women who are leaning in.' Before Martha Stewart and Mary Kay, there was Brownie Wise, the charismatic Tupperware executive who converted postwar optimism into a record breaking sales engine powered by ordinary housewives. Having started her own business after divorcing her alcoholic husband, the plucky Southern businesswoman caught the eye of Tupperware inventor Earl Tupper, whose plastic containers were collecting dust on store shelves. The now legendary Tupperware Party that Wise popularised, a masterclass in the soft sell, drove Tupperware's sales to stratospheric heights. It also gave poorly educated and economically invisible postwar women, including many African-American women, an acceptable outlet for making their own money for their families - and for being rewarded for their efforts. With the people skills of Dale Carnegie, the looks of Doris Day, and the magnetism of Eva Peron, Wise was as popular among her many devoted followers as she was among the press, and in 1954 she became the first woman to appear on the cover of Business Week. Then, at the height of her success, Earl Tupper fired her under mysterious circumstances, wrote her out of Tupperware's success story, and left her with a pittance. He walked away with a fortune and she disappeared - until now. Originally published as Tupperware Unsealed, Life of the Party is a revised and updated edition perfectly timed to take advantage of this trail-blazing dynamo returning to the spotlight where she belongs.

Life Without Diabetes: The Definitive Guide to Understanding and Reversing Type 2 Diabetes
by Roy TaylorThe fastest growing disease in the world, type-2 diabetes has long been regarded as an incurable, lifelong condition that becomes progressively worse over time, resulting in pain, loss of vision, amputation, and even premature death. But there is hope. <p> For more than four decades, Dr. Roy Taylor has been studying the causes of diabetes. In 2017, he had a breakthrough: He found scientific proof that type-2 diabetes is not only reversible, but that anyone following a simple regimen can prevent and cure it. Dr. Taylor's research shows that type-2 diabetes is caused by too much fat in the liver and pancreas, which interferes with both organs' normal functioning. By losing less than one gram of fat, the liver and organ can begin to perform as they were designed to once again - thus beginning the reversal process. <p> The most efficient way to shed fat from the liver and pancreas is to lose weight as quickly as possible. Life Without Diabetes makes it easy for people to cut back on their daily calorie intake and avoid the two big problems of dieting - hunger and choice - and lose up to 35 pounds in just eight weeks. Thanks to Dr. Taylor, we can now fundamentally change how we treat and prevent this debilitating and all-too-common disease forever.

The Lifestyle Diet: Don’t Diet. Make it a Lifestyle.
by Faisal AlshawaHow many diets have you followed in your life? Is dieting the path to weight loss? Do diets really work? Today we have many trendy diets; Keto, Plant-based, Paleo, Detox and Intermittent Fasting, to name a few. These popular diets have some merit, but they do not qualify as lifestyle choices or weight loss solutions. They are unenjoyable, restrictive and unsustainable. We live in a world of abundance and an information overload, leaving us feeling more confused than ever before regarding how we should eat for weight loss. What’s more? The diet culture and unqualified individuals have begun exploiting social media by offering quick fixes and unscientific advice, further adding to your frustration and confusion. The truth is, there is no quick fix to this long-term problem. And no matter how much you may exercise, you can’t outrun a bad diet. The Lifestyle Diet will show you that it is possible to eat everything you enjoy, live your life, and still lose weight. You can do this without suffering the physical, mental, and emotional consequences associated with dieting. Considering the scientific research on today’s most popular diets, Alshawa will offer evidence-based advice and prove to you why diets do not work for weight loss in a clinically healthy population. The Lifestyle Diet will put you on the path to effective lifestyle interventions to be healthier and lose weight…without ever having to diet AGAIN!

Lifestyle Medicine for Prediabetes, Type 2 Diabetes, and Cardiometabolic Disease (Lifestyle Medicine)
by Michael A. Via Jeffrey I. MechanickLifestyle change is universally recommended for patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiometabolic disease, yet, the majority of clinical practice, educational programs, and clinical trials within these chronic disease spaces focus on medication use and procedures, with insufficient emphasis on lifestyle medicine. The concept of lifestyle medicine can serve as a countermeasure, acting through aspects of personal choice, natural and built environments, cultural traditions, and socioeconomic influences that affect the metabolic health of an individual. Integrating Lifestyle Medicine for Prediabetes, Type 2 Diabetes, and Cardiometabolic Disease provides clinical evidence for and a mechanistic understanding of the six pillars of lifestyle medicine. It guides the reader to identify opportunities for early intervention rather than focus on the diagnosis and treatment of the established disease. Interventions at earlier points have the potential to mitigate progression, prevent complications, reduce costs, and improve a patient’s overall health at all points in their lifetime. Key Features Provides mechanistic, epidemiological, and clinical understanding of all pillars of lifestyle medicine Presents information on mechanisms for lifestyle medicine in cardiometabolic disease Features a unique model that includes recognition of predisease and even pre-predisease with rationale for intervention Promotes evidence-based recommendations for all stages of cardiometabolic disease This volume in the Lifestyle Medicine series is an essential resource for clinicians and students, providing them with information to help them to prevent complications, reduce costs, and improve a patient’s overall health at all points in their lifetime.

Lifestyle Nursing (Lifestyle Medicine)
by Gia Merlo Kathy BerraLifestyle medicine is an evidence-based approach to helping individuals and families adopt and sustain healthy behaviors in preventing, treating, and oftentimes, reversing chronic diseases. This fast-growing specialty operates off six main principles including nutrition, physical activity, stress resilience, cessation or risk reduction of substance use, quality sleep, and social connectivity. Nurses are the primary providers of hospital-based patient care and deliver most of the nation's long-term care. Within healthcare, nurses are often tasked with educating patients and families and are thereby well-positioned to address lifestyle intervention with patients. Lifestyle Nursing examines the concepts of lifestyle medicine and nursing practice, it is specifically designed to help nurses introduce the concepts of lifestyle medicine to readers while also encouraging them to focus on their own wellness. This book features nutritional guidelines and supplemental materials operationalizing this basic nutrition knowledge into personal and patient wellness. It addresses evidence-based findings of chronic diseases including heart diseases and stroke, type 2 diabetes, and cancers, which can often be prevented by lifestyle interventions. Drawing from nursing and medical literature, this volume in the Lifestyle Medicine series encourages incorporation of lifestyle principles into nursing practices professionally and personally which will lead to overall improved patient outcomes and happier, healthier nurses.
