    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.

    A guide to making nearly 100 artisan breads in your machine—plus sandwich recipes!—from the award-winning authors of Bread in Half the Time.   Nothing smells quite as wonderful as bread baking in the oven. Nothing tastes quite as good as a thick slice of fresh, warm homemade bread. And nothing can be quite as intimidating or time-consuming as mixing, kneading, raising, and baking that bread—until now!   With a bread machine to do all the hard work, and experts Linda West Eckhardt and Diana Collingwood Butts as guides, anyone can turn out a perfect sourdough, raisin pumpernickel, focaccia, or any other variety of classic European breads featured in this book. The trick is to use the machine for what it does best—mixing and kneading the dough that produces the loaves we all love so much. After letting the dough rise in the machine, you shape it by hand and bake it to perfection in the oven.   With Rustic European Breads from Your Bread Machine in hand, every home cook can become a master baker. Eckhardt and Butts provide not only an encyclopedic knowledge of their subject and foolproof step-by-step recipes, but also limitless, contagious enthusiasm. Their clear and thorough explanations will turn every home kitchen into an aromatic, appetite-satisfying European bakery.
