    People will always be drawn by a force stronger than gravity to do whatever is fastest, easiest, and cheapest. Typical diet plans and workout routines are very time-consuming, extremely difficult, and very expensive - all of which are completely against human nature - so people can't do it for long, go back to their normal life routines, and gain back all the weight. To successfully lose fat - and most importantly - stay fit for the long term, people need a system that is realistic and actually sustainable for the rest of their life because it requires almost zero extra time, effort, or expense. The solution? No counting calories. No measuring portions of food. No weighing morsels of dried-out flavorless chicken breast. No terrible diet recipes. No pills, powders, or supplements. No expensive stuff to buy. You don't need to buy anything new. No complicated system to learn and memorize. Just a few easy-to-remember fat loss guidelines to apply throughout the day while you do everything you would normally do. Yes, you read that right, while doing everything you would normally do, eating the things you would normally eat, and not doing any additional exercise. Restaurant food is also perfectly fine - as you do have a social life. But, you won't magically lose fat by doing nothing. If you don't do anything, and simply make the New Year's resolution you want to lose 40 pounds of fat this year, halfway through the year, you'll realize you have 55 pounds to go. Start losing weight in the most enjoyable way possible by avoiding most of the pain and suffering typically associated with losing fat. Most importantly, it requires almost zero extra time, effort, or expense - so you can stay fit and healthy for the long term without drastically changing your comfortable routines and habits. Depending on your daily habits, you'll almost certainly save both time and money. It works; and it will work for you. Read this book, apply the information, and see for yourself.

    In 1940, France fell to the Nazis and almost immediately the German army began a campaign of pillaging one of the assets the French hold most dear: their wine. Like others in the French Resistance, winemakers mobilized to oppose their occupiers, but the tale of their extraordinary efforts has remained largely unknown-until now. This is the thrilling and harrowing story of the French wine producers who undertook ingenious, daring measures to save their cherished crops and bottles as the Germans closed in on them. Wine and War illuminates a compelling, little-known chapter of history, and stands as a tribute to those extraordinary individuals who waged a battle that, in a very real way, saved the spirit of France.

    What are the real benefits of intermittent fasting? 
      
    The answer might surprise you, as it extends far beyond the biological aspects of allowing your intestines to reboot. There is a psychological factor that helps people lose weight faster too. Another aspect is clean eating, which is a concept that helps people boost their nutrition and become healthier in general. 
      
    Moreover, everyone is different and will, for this reason, experience the effects of intermittent fasting differently. 
      
    If you’re curious about these effects and other variables that make intermittent fasting such a promising method, then I encourage you to take a look at this book now.
