In Eat Meat And Stop Jogging, Mike Sheridan uncovers everything's that's WRONG with our current understanding of nutrition and metabolism, diets and weight loss, and physical fitness and health."I know the diet plans, exercise and fitness books, and health and nutrition basics aren't working for you, because they're not working for anyone! The first step to rescuing your physical and mental health, is understanding WHY we've accepted certain fitness and nutrition myths as fitness and nutrition facts, and how that's turned fat loss and disease prevention into a struggle." - Coach MikeInspired by personal practice, and supported by credible research, Eat Meat And Stop Jogging highlights the flaws in the prevailing advice to get fit, and illustrates the negative affect on our health and physique. With "Coach" Mike discussing the need for red meat, saturated fat and cholesterol in human nutrition, outlining the long-term consequences of losing weight via marathon training, plant based nutrition and extreme dieting, and helping the reader understand that most medical professionals, public health authorities, and fitness and wellness coaches, are ill-informed when it comes to the science of nutrition, exercise physiology, and what it takes to get fit, stay fit, and live with abundant health.

Live It NOT Diet! is a rock-solid step-by-step blueprint that transforms the average person into a strong, healthy, fat burning machine. It's not a quick-fix diet solution, but rather a sustainable lifestyle plan - that's realistic and relevant for the majority.After exposing the conventional approach to getting fit, with Eat Meat And Stop Jogging, Mike Sheridan delivers his progressive plan for losing the fat and keeping it off without counting calories, doing cardio, or sacrificing your health.Using the most well-respected research, and over a decade of practical experience, Live It NOT Diet! educates the reader with 14 food and nutrition principles - distributed across 3 carefully constructed phases - and motivates them with a collection of diet and weight loss, and health and fitness facts - that call for immediate action."Most diets may result in weight loss, but most losing weight by dieting also don't maintain their results. Largely because the majority of diet plans, nutrition textbooks, and books on health focus on reaching a caloric deficit - which slows down our metabolism, elevates our hunger hormones, and forces our body to conserve energy. But also because a reduction in food quantity (calories) without considering quality (nutrients), means a good proportion of that weight is muscle." - Coach MikeUnlike the quick-fix diet books, and over-exercising workout plans, Mike lays out the fundamentals of human nutrition and metabolism, and optimal health and fitness. Leaving the reader with the information they need to get fit, and helping them understand that staying fit requires a lot less exercise than they think - and none of the energy-burning marathon training and aerobic exercises we've come to associate with healthy living.Live it NOT Diet! is the perfect combination of cutting-edge science and street-wise design, presented in a mindful, impeccably well-organized strategy. With Coach Mike finding a way to go beyond diet, and make it suitable for everyone - whether you dream of better health and a longer life, or a body made for a speedo!

NOTE: Unlike other workout books, 1% Fitness includes free lifetime access to a dedicated members site where you can download all 14 weeks of workout routines and watch all corresponding exercises from the book. It's web-based, so you can view it from any computer, any country, and on all smartphone devices. With everything else we seek efficiency. Whether preparing food, surfing the internet, or commuting to work, we're looking for the smallest investment in time for the greatest return. And many times this means paying a little up front; which depending on our circumstances, the majority is obliged to do.Well, what if that same efficiency was possible with exercise?That all of the fat loss, muscle gain, cardiovascular and metabolic improvements, and reduction in disease risk and mortality can be achieved in far less time.Would you do it?If you're already exercising this means more free time, so it's an easy decision. And if you're not already exercising, it's just as easy; as once you understand that the investment in time is less than 100 minutes per week (1%), it's a no brainer."Give me 1% of your week, and I'll give you the body you've always wanted...with maybe more time to enjoy it." - Coach Mike1% Fitness shows you how to build the ideal physique and improve your long-term health, with a minimal commitment to exercise. Strength and Conditioning Coach, and Diet and Health Expert, Mike Sheridan delivers his 9 performance principles and progresses you across 7 workout phases, so you're primed for success no matter what your training level. Phase 1 establishes a baseline of strength with bodyweight training - using at home workouts that everyone can do, and 4 levels of progression for each bodyweight exercise (so everyone can improve).Phase 2 introduces the reader to traditional weight training - using workout plans that abide by the principles in the book, and functional strength training exercises designed to minimize workout time, and maximize workout results.Phase 3 is all about HIIT (high intensity interval training) - with Coach Mike outlining HIITs superiority over endurance exercise (for fat loss, cardiovascular health, and metabolic improvements) and highlighting it's importance in the prevention of muscle loss and physical degeneration, and the maintenance of strength, power, mobility, stability and functional independence with age."When you spend the limited time you have available to exercise (100min) focusing on building muscle, you burn more fat in the remaining 9,980min a week." - Coach Mike1% Fitness is the exact progressive approach Mike's used with his personal training clients to help them transform into lean, strong, healthy, athletic machines. It's the culmination of 15 years of practical fitness training experience designed to bring you the optimal solution for transforming your body and improving your life without spending hours in the gym.

Note: This book is intended for those already following an anti-inflammatory diet (low carb, paleo, GAPS, etc), so please get started with that before reading further.Like it or not, we’re all victims of a damaging dietary past and over-medicating present. And this has left us with varying degrees of digestive distress, malabsorption, bacteria imbalance (dysbiosis), and intestinal permeability.For the lucky ones, this has only presented itself as bloating or cramps, excessive burping and gas, bad breath, low hunger or energy, abnormal stools (diarrhea, constipation), heartburn and reflux, or chronic nutrient deficiencies. But for the not-so lucky ones, or for those that ignore these early signs and symptoms, these gastrointestinal issues can progress to leaky gut and an increased risk of the chronic inflammatory conditions and auto-immune diseases listed below:•Fibromyalgia (or Chronic Pain)•Rheumatoid Arthritis•ADHD and Tourette’s•Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) - Chron’s, Ulcerative Colitis•Depression or Anxiety•Multiple Sclerosis•Lupus•Chronic Fatigue Syndrome•Type 1 Diabetes•Asthma and Allergies•Parkinson’s•Autism•Dermatitis – Acne, Eczema, Psoriasis•Chronic Kidney Disease•SchizophreniaThe goods news, is that you can eliminate these gastrointestinal issues and reduce your risk of these degenerative diseases by removing the foods that promote inflammation and bad bacterial growth, and consuming foods that feed and support the gut and beneficial flora that live there. With a grain-free, nutrient-rich, real-food diet, full of gut-feeding vegetable fiber, and intestinal-supporting bone broth being the best way to accomplish this.But the bad news, is that because of our prescription-packed medicine cabinets (antibiotics, NSAIDs, antacids), fake-food nutritional history, stress-packed daily lives, and unavoidable environmental exposure, this is not enough! With many of those adopting a low carb diet benefiting from a reduction in total bacteria, but never eradicating the yeast (ex: candida) and damaging parasites (ex: h. pylori) that still live there. And many of those adopting a paleo diet feeling better with less inflammation and digestive issues, but continuing to feed the glucose-gorging parasites and pathogens that have set have set up shop in their large and small intestine (ex: SIBO). Or put another way, we need to take additional action to heal the gut, and this starts with the 5-part protocol that follows. Which improves digestion, eliminates unwanted bacteria, strengthens the GI tract, re-establishes healthy gut flora, and provides ongoing dietary and lifestyle best practices to ensure it continues. It’s definitely not easy, it does take a significant amount of time, and it will require consistent effort going forward. But, as you’ll discover, it’s necessary, it’s worth it, and it’s the only way to enjoy greater health and performance and increase your protection against disease and degeneration. “The control of man’s diet is readily accomplished, but mastery over his intestinal bacterial flora is not.” Bond Stow, 1914

This Gothic novella tells the story of a young woman's susceptibility to the attentions of a female vampire named Carmilla. Carmilla predates Bram Stoker's Dracula by 25 years, and has been adapted many times for cinema. Although Carmilla is a lesser known and far shorter Gothic vampire story than the generally-considered master work of that genre, Dracula, the latter is heavily influenced by Le Fanu's short story.
