Le secret pour mincir? Manger plus gras !

Un nouveau régime venu tout droit des USA s’apprête à bouleverser les habitudes alimentaires actuelles ainsi que les a-priori contre les matières grasses. De plus en plus de spécialistes du monde entier semblent confirmer cette théorie : manger moins de gras n’est pas forcement une bonne idée.

En France, le magazine ELLE vient de consacrer un reportage à cette nouvelle tendance, qui plaira aux plus gourmands.

Et au printemps 2016, HarperOne publiera l’ouvrage des pionniers du « Mangez plus gras », le très médiatisé Jonny Bowden et le Dr. Steven Masley :

EAT MORE FAT, LOSE MORE WEIGHT
The Fat Solution to Shed Pounds, Reverse Chronic Illness, and Finally Feel Fantastic!
Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., and Steven Masley, M.D
HarperOne | Spring 2016

Low-fat diets have made us fatter and sicker than ever, and eating fat has gotten a bad rap. But recently there has been a lot of buzz and research in the health world about the benefits of a higher fat diet. In fact, doctors and health practitioners, Paleo fanatics and trainers, plant-based researchers and vegans, and high-protein, low-sugar, and gluten-free experts all actually agree that the average dieter is eating way too little fat. When dieters stop swapping out butter, stop replacing red meat, and ditch the low-fat and no-fat diet foods, they lose more weight and reduce their risk of disease.
Healthy fats are the new low-carb. And eating more fat is the key to losing weight faster, reversing many everyday symptoms and chronic illnesses, and looking and feeling amazing. But how much fat is too much? What sources of fat are the healthiest? And how do you eat fat to burn fat? This is not your mother’s Atkins. In EAT MORE FAT, LOSE MORE WEIGHT, a bestselling nutritionist and a bestselling physician will change how readers think about fat and offer readers three healthy weight loss solutions tailored to their specific needs—The Mediterranean Fat Solution, The Paleo Fat Solution, and The Ketosis Fat Solution—that will have them feeling, thinking, and looking better than they have in years. The right fats will address cravings. They will nourish brain and heart health. And they will reverse metabolic syndrome and increase weight loss.

Jonny Bowden, Ph.D, C.N.S. is a board certified nutritionist and nationally acclaimed author of The Great Cholesterol Myth, which has sold over 100000 copies, and 13 other books, which have sold more than an additional 800000 copies.
Steven Masley, M.D. is a renowned physician and the former medical director of the Pritikin Longevity Center. His recent book, The 30-Day Heart Tune-Up, has sold nearly 50,000 hardcovers in its first four months of publication.

MURDER 101 de Faye Kellerman

Decker and Lazarus embark on a new life in upstate New York—and find themselves entangled in deception, intrigue, and murder in picturesque elite college town

MURDER 101
by Faye Kellerman
William Morrow, September 2014

bookcover-murder101As a detective lieutenant with the LAPD, Peter Decker witnessed enough ugliness and chaos for a lifetime. Now, he and his devoted wife Rena Lazarus are ready to enjoy the quiet beauty of upstate New York, where they can be closer to their four adult children and their foster son.

But working for the Greenbury Police department isn’t as fulfilling as Decker hoped.  While Rina has adapted beautifully to their new surroundings, Decker is underwhelmed and frustrated by his new partner, Tyler McAdams, a former Harvard student and young buck with a bad ‘tude. Just when he thinks he’s made a mistake, Decker is called to his first real crime here—a possible break-in at the local cemetery.

At first, it seems like a false alarm until it’s discovered that a mausoleum’s stunning Tiffany panels have been replaced by forgeries. Then, a coed at one of the exclusive local colleges is brutally murdered. Poking into the hallowed halls of academia to find a killer, Decker and McAdams are drawn deep into a web of dark secrets, cold case crimes, international intrigue, and ruthless people who kill for sport. Suddenly, the job is anything but boring. This case just might be too much to handle and Decker will have to draw on every ounce of experience that he has garnered in the past thirty years as a Homicide cop. And then again, even that might not be enough!
