The Slow Down Diet - Book
By Marc David

Because of our contemporary society’s fast pace, many of us always try to cram in as much as possible in the least amount of time imaginable. But this pace is counterproductive to a healthy lifestyle, and because we often eat so fast and are under so much stress, we reduce our chances of deriving pleasure from our food and increase the risk of digestive disorders and upsetting our metabolism. The Slow Down Diet presents an alternative way to view our relationship with food. Marc David, a nutritionist with a master’s degree in the psychology of eating blends body biochemistry research with success stories from his nutritional counseling practice to promote a holistic eight-week program to help readers let go of old habits and fear and embrace a healthy body and life through fully enjoying each meal in body, mind and spirit.

Hint
Clear and Simple! The idea behind Hint and Hint Kids is simple: pure water, nature’s original refreshment, accented with a hint of natural flavor. No sugar, no artificial sweeteners: Hint and Hint Kids is a refreshing alternative to sodas, juice and other sweetened drinks. Sound good? It tastes even better.

“Doctors and dieticians agree that water is the best thing we can drink, but how much plain water can you drink before craving more zing?” asks HINT’S CEO Kara Goldin. “I created HINT simply because I love water with a slice of lime or cucumber and wanted a convenient way to have that experience on the go.” At last, it’s water made easy, fun, and exciting.
Former AOL exec Goldin launched HINT in April 2005, just one month before the birth of her fourth child. HINT is available in fine grocers. drinkhint.com
