Book Description

Revised and Updated with 40 New Recipes

For years we’ve been told that a low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet is the way to lose weight and stay trim. But anyone who has diligently followed that regimen knows that it doesn’t work. Rick Gallop, former president of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario, tried it, along with countless other diets, and ended up back where he started: twenty pounds overweight. Frustrated, he set out to find a diet that was healthy and that would actually work. When he came across the Glycemic Index, or G.I., he realized he’d found the magic bullet.

Developed by Dr. David Jenkins, a professor of nutrition at the University of Toronto, the G.I. measures the speed at which your body breaks down food and converts it to glucose, which is used for energy or stored as fat. When losing weight, it is critical to avoid foods that have a high G.I., because they are digested too quickly by your body. With Rick Gallop’s G.I. Diet you won’t have to calculate the glycemic ratings and calories because he has done that for you, by listing foods in one of three categories: foods to avoid, foods to eat occasionally, and foods that you can eat as much of as you want.

With recipes, snack ideas, a pull-out shopping list, tips on dining out and strategies for maintaining your new weight, you’ll never have to pick up another diet book!

Here’s what readers had to say about The G.I. Diet:
“Wow! It has been seven months since I started the diet and I have lost 72 pounds! What a great feeling! I can go shopping again and not be embarrassed about the size I buy…It is such a new way to live and I love it. So many people have commented on the way I look. My husband is so happy about the results, he has started on the program.”
—Catherine

“I have been overweight all my life…. I peaked at 302 pounds and came to the conclusion that I was a food addict and that trying to lose weight was hopeless, having tried and failed with every other plan out there — or so I thought! Thank God, a very dear friend of mine found the G.I. Diet. Seven weeks later I weigh 273 pounds and have never felt so good…I KNOW I am going to get down to a healthy body weight for the first time in my life.”
—Sarah

“I have had much success with the G.I. Diet. Last week I bought some trousers with a 34-inch waist — the first of that size that I have been able to wear since I was 27 years old, thirty-three years ago… The weight loss rate has been phenomenal. This is the first simple intelligent diet that I have ever seen.”
—Mike

“My husband is down 40 pounds and I’m down 20! The G.I. Diet rocks!! We’re never hungry, we can’t believe the gradual and constant weight loss, and we can’t believe that we can eat out, travel, celebrate special events and still, albeit sometimes partially, stick to the regime and keep the weight off.”
—Joann

“I lost 85 pounds in 22 weeks…There is certainly no more rewarding personal journey than transforming your body into what you always wanted it to be. I can’t begin to express how valuable the G.I. Diet has been to making this happen.”
—Derek

“I started living the G.I. Diet three months ago and have shed 43 pounds and 6 inches off my waistline... I used to be a junk food addict but now even the smell of junk food turns my stomach… This diet was literally a life saver.”
—Ray

“The G.I. Diet is the easiest weight loss program I have ever been on — and I’ve been on plenty. I want to eat like this for the rest of my life.”
—Marylou

Good Morning, Kimchi!: Forty Different Kinds of Traditional & Fusion Kimchi Recipes

ASIN: 0930878590

Product Description

Won't you have a taste of Kimchi that major daily newspapers in the U.S. hailed as "one of the most natural and mineral-rich diet dishes"?
Kimchi, the very special vegetable delicacy loved by all Koreans, is a dish of subtle variations. For the first time, readers of English can learn how to prepare a large variety of kimchi rich blends of vegetables, seafood, and such spices as red peppers, garlic, and ginger. Each variation offers a unique treat to the Western palate.

This book presents recipes for forty-eight different varieties of kimchi and twelve combination dishes containing kimchi. The book also offers detailed information about kimchi ingredients and a brief historical account of the kimchi tradition.

Customer Reviews:

Kimchi is great food!.......2002-06-29

If you would like some authentic Korean recipes for Kimchi, this is a great book! It shows exactly how to make a lot of different kinds, and the pictures are great. I've seen some recipes elsewhere for "basic" kimchi, but there are many, many different kinds and very few are written anywhere.

The book DOES assume you have some basic kimchi knowledge -- like how to ferment vegetables. There are not many books that really cover that aspect of things. And getting some of the ingredients -- like pickled baby fish -- requires going to a Korean grocery, perhaps with a bilingual friend.

That said, it's worth the effort! It is very difficult to get "real" kimchi recipes unless you know someone who makes it, and this is an invaluable guide. And, for us Westerners, making your own means you can vary the amount of pepper and garlic and sourness to suite your particular taste. Kimchi really does have more bio-available nutrients than raw or cooked vegetables, and does good things to your blood sugar and intestinal bacteria.

Plus, it makes your meals taste better!

Insightful Art History and Sensitive Biography.......2004-05-16

With little space for a large subject: I'll start by saying that three of my favorite 20th century paintings appear in this book, together with many other fine works. Plate 10, "Golden Kipper" is an astonishingly graceful evocation of a humble but beautiful treasure from the sea. Plate 12, "Country Studio" has a charming balance of soft color and space. Plate 13, "Rising Moon" is a rich harmony of muted warm tones that bathe wall trees sky and misty moon: calm Romanticism at its best. The book's text is a splendidly well written rounded account of Mary Potter's life, family, times, and the artistic environments which shaped her remarkable genius. A great book for lovers of art and students of 20th century English life.

A young Jewish girl discovers the Messiah's faithfulness in the midst of the Holocaust

Customer Reviews:

One Sweet, Hopeful Book.......2006-11-01

When I first read "Trapped in Hitler's Hell," it was called "Angels In the Camp." From the miraculous acts that God preformed for this faith filled German-Jewish girl, there certainly were angels watching over Anita Dittman. For example, while in the hospital the Nazi nurse who attended Anita refused to provide her with food. Knowing Anita was Jewsih, the nurse was trying to starve her to death. A Chritian friend in the next bed shared half of the one potato she received for food each day with Anita. They hid under the covers and ate their potato. The nurse was certainly surprised when not only did Anita not die, but actually gained weight and was soon well enough to go back to work. The book is filled with faith building stories such as this one.

Recently I had the priviledge of hearing Anita speak. Her book had really spsoken to my heart. I remebered many of the stories of her experiences during WWII and quoted them every so often. What an inspring lady she is. She concluded her testimony with a saying I shall always remember. Anita told us, "Safety isn't found in the absence of danger, but in the presence of God."

As one reviewer summed it up, there are important lessons we need to learn from Anita's exxperiences. She said, "Just as many of the churches of Nazi Germany fell quickly to the seductive message of the Third Reich, so many of our churches today are falling quickly for the seductions of the Emergent Church's apostate theology and the allure of occult eastern mysticism though so-called "Christian" comtemplative spirituality." Before it's to late, we need to get our lives right with the Savior. We need to let Him show us any sin and pray that He would lead us out of any erroneous doctrine and into His truth.

Holocaust Deniers: Read This One.......2006-09-02

This is an excellent book told from the first-hand account of a holocaust survivor. The account is very well written and edited and you won't be able to put it down.

How Anita Dittman survived is simply a miracle and one can see God's hand in sustaining her existence and planning the extraordinary sequence of events that delivered her from her Nazi captors. God's love for the Jewish people and allowing her to survive to tell her story is a witness for all of us that Jewish people have a remarkable future desiny to play in the prophetic timeline leading up to the return of Jesus Christ.

I have heard Anita Dittman and Jan Markell present this story in lecture format. Talk about having a lump in your throat for an hour.

The sad part of this story is that Anti-Semitism since World Warr II has not really gone away. It's always there and there are disturbing signs all around the world that it could return even worse than the holocaust. We now have world leaders such as Iranian President Ahmadinejad and Palestian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas openly deny the Holocaust and the world's media and United Nations don't call them on the carpet for it.

The Book of Zechariah Chapters 12-14, Jeremiah Ch. 30:7, Revelaton Ch. 12 and many other biblical texts indicate that Israel will go through even worse trial and tribulation immediately preceding the return of Jesus Christ. If those times are worse than what Anita Dittman and her mother experienced, the world truly needs Jesus Christ to return to save the Jewish people from complete annihilation.

A Lovely Gem of a Book.......2006-05-13

Anita Dittman's story is a vivid testimony to the sovereignty and faithfulness of Christ in the life of a little German-Jewish girl who finds in her Savior both courage and strength to meet each day in the midst of painful persecution and the terror of war. As Anita grows up, abandoned by her father and rejected by her non-Jewish teachers and schoolmates, her spirit grows more lovely with each passing year as she learns that Jesus will never leave her nor forsake her.

This story is not gloomy or depressing in any way. It is full of faith, hope, and glorious glimpses of the power and the love of God. I could hardly put it down.

There is a compelling immediacy to Miss Dittman's story. I felt almost as if I knew her. My faith in the Lord has been challenged and renewed as I've followed her through her trials and triumphs in the pages of this book.

There is a warning here also, with a striking parallel to the present. Just as many of the churches in Nazi Germany fell quickly to the seductive message of the Third Reich, so many of our churches of today are falling quickly for the seductions of the Emergent Church's apostate theology and the allure of occult eastern mysticism through so-called "christian" contemplative spirituality.

As many have described Hitler as a "type" of Anti-christ, so the apostate German church may be said to pre-figure the apostate worldwide "christian" church which the Bible warns will arise in the last days. Is that what we are seeing unfold?

If you want to be uplifted, forewarned, and encouraged during these "perilous times," read Trapped In Hitler's Hell.

[I'd like to thank Miss Dittman for writing this book. I will never be quite the same. :)]

The epic and personal recollection of the hardships and difficult times during the second world war in Nazi Germany.......2006-03-09

Trapped In Hitler's Hell by Anita Dittman is the epic and personal recollection of the hardships and difficult times during the second world war in Nazi Germany. Dittman righteously describes the anguish she suffered throughout her captivity and solitude. Trapped In Hitler's Hell is an inspirational tale of one young woman's only certainty being that the God above her would protect her, and is highly recommended for all Christian and Judaic practitioners and students, as well as students of history during World War II, as this book is as informative as it is encouraging.

Good.......2004-03-21

This book shows the what it was like to be in Germany at the time of the Nazi occupation. I have met Anita Dittman and she is an incredible lady with an incredible story.
