The New York Times bestselling author of Tomatoland test drives the most popular diets of our time, investigating the diet gurus, contradictory advice, and science behind the programs to reveal how we should (and shouldn't) be dieting.Investigative journalist Barry Estabrook was often on the receiving end of his doctor's scowl. Realizing he had two options--take more medication or lose weight--Estabrook chose the latter, but was paralyzed by the options. Which diet would keep the weight off? What program could he maintain over time? What diet works best--or even at all?Over the course of three years, Estabrook tried the regimens behind the most popular diets of the past forty years--from paleo to the Master Cleanse, Whole30, Atkins, Weight Watchers, keto, gluten-free, and veganism--examining the people, claims, and science behind the fads, all while recording his mental and physical experience of following each one. Along the way, he discovers that the more than fifteen branded programs are derived from just three diets. That there are effective, scientifically valid take-aways to be cherry-picked . . . and the rest is just marketing. Perhaps most alarmingly, he uncovers how short-term weight loss can too often do long-term health damage that goes undetected for years. Estabrook contextualizes his reporting with an analysis of our culture's bizarre dieting history dating back to the late 1800s to create a thorough--and thoroughly entertaining--look at what different diets do to our bodies, why some are more effective than others, and why our relationship with food is so fraught. Estabrook's account is a relatable, pragmatic look into the ways we try to improve our health through dieting--and how the answer may be to just eat.

Morisano-who came together to build what would be a special restaurant.Bailey and Morisano, co-owners of The Grey, tell their story in alternating fonts, explaining how they went from tentative business partners to best friends as they turned a dilapidated Jim Crow-era Greyhound bus station in Savannah, Georgia, into one of the hottest restaurants in the country, all while digging into their lived experiences with race, class, and culture through honest, unflinching discussions.

“I’m trying to meditate one day but urgent thoughts keep intruding. Don’t forget to take cupcakes to school! I have to prepare for my presentation for the wellness conference! Is that lunch with the other moms tomorrow or next week? My to-do list is stampeding through my mind, trampling any chance of tranquility. I feel overwhelmed, yes, but there’s more: I feel…guilty. Guilty that I’m taking on too much, guilty that I’m not doing anything well, guilty that I’m giving short shrift to my kids, my husband, my job. And what about you, Mallika? a quiet voice asks. How are you shortchanging yourself?” Living with Intent is a chronicle of Mallika Chopra’s search to find more meaning, joy, and balance in life. She hopes that by telling her story, she can inspire others with her own successes (and failures) as well as share some of the wisdom she has gathered from friends, experts, and family along the way—people like her dad, Deepak, as well as Eckhart Tolle, Marianne Williamson, Arianna Huffington, Andrew Weil, and Dan Siegel. She also provides a practical road map for how we can all move from thought to action to outcome. Each chapter is devoted to one step on her journey and another piece of her INTENT action plan: Incubate, Notice, Trust, Express, Nurture, and Take Action. Chopra’s insights and advice will help us all come closer to fully living the lives we truly intend.
