<DIV><DIV>While common dieting wisdom suggests that those who need to lose weight must be eating too much, the newest discoveries in weight loss science now reveal that whatâs not being eaten can hinder weight reduction. Fiber is turning out to be the silver bullet of dietingÂbecause it can fill you up on fewer calories, dampen cravings for fattening foods, and dramatically improve your overall health. <P></P>Consuming the right amount of dietary fiber can have profound health benefits. It can cut the risk of heart disease by 30 percent; lower cholesterol by as much as 13 points; decrease inflammation; drop blood pressure; balance blood sugar; improve memory; reduce the risk for breast, colon, and endometrial cancer; and boost the immune system. Unfortunately, ramping up fiber levels too quickly can also cause digestive distress. With an easy-to follow, 4 week plan, <I>Preventionâs Fiber Up Slim Down Cookbook</I> shows how to switch over to high-fiber living without experiencing excessive gas or uncomfortable bloating. <P></P><P>Of course, for any weight-loss plan to work, the food must be fabulous. <I>Preventionâs Fiber Up Slim Down Cookbook</I> is packed with more than 200 delicious, fiber-rich recipes that work with any fiber-rich diet plan including home-style dishes like Roasted Sweet and Russet Potato Salad and Momâs Turkey Meatloaf, tasty new favorites like Curried Beef with Pineapple and Coconut, and sweet treats like GingerÂSweet Potato Cheesecake and Pumpkin Fruitcake. </P></DIV></DIV> | *$13.12 |

 | Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management
Brand: S. O. Beeton Publishing
Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management was edited by Isabella Beeton and was first published as a book in 1861 by S. O. Beeton Publishing, 161 Bouverie Street, London, a firm founded by her husband, Samuel Beeton. It had been previously published as a part work. It was a guide to all aspects of running a household in Victorian Britain.<br><br>Of the 1,112 pages, over 900 contained recipes such that another popular name for the volume is Mrs Beeton's Cookbook. Most of the recipes were illustrated with coloured engravings, and it was the first book to show recipes in a format that is still used today, i.e. with all the ingredients listed at the start. It is said that many of the recipes were copied from earlier writers, but the Beetons never claimed that the book's contents were original. Mrs Beeton is perhaps described better as its compiler and editor than as its author, many of the passages clearly being not her own words.<br><br>It was intended as a guide of reliable information about every aspect of running a house for the aspirant middle classes. In addition to cooking, its 2,751 entries include tips on how to deal with servantsâ pay and children's health, and above all a wealth of cooking advice, instructions and recipes. It was an immediate best-seller, selling 60,000 copies in its first year and totalling nearly two million up to 1868. In 1863 a revised edition was issued in installments.<br><br>The author, was 21 years old when she started working on the book, and she died at 28. In 1866, a year after Isabella's death, Samuel was forced to give up the copyright on all his publications due to the collapse of Overend and Gurney, a London discount house to which he was in debt. To save himself from bankruptcy he sold the copyright to publisher Ward, Lock and Tyler for £3250, though he continued to run it.Ward Lockâs revisions to Household Management have continued to the present day and kept the Beeton name in the public eye for over 125 years, although current editions are far removed from Isabella's original work.<br><br>The book gives a charming and historically significant insight into Victorian domestic management. Although it is not a modern book, many people in Britain own a copy as it has been frequently reprinted and is available to this day. The name "Mrs Beeton" still has iconic status in Britain: most people recognize it and know its connotations, although very few have actually come into contact with the book itself. The phrase, "first, catch your hare", while popularly thought to originate here, was already proverbial when the book was written.<br><br>Information from Wikipedia<br> | *$6.50 |
