You do your diets, maybe some exercise, and the scale tells you've gone slimmer. You smile and look up as that feeling of pride and satisfaction overwhelms your entire being. The sad truth is that you have lost pounds, but are you sure that you have burned fat? When it comes to losing weight, it can boil down to many factors, and those few pounds that you have dropped may have just been the loss of water, or maybe you have just burned away muscles. Yes, you've read correctly--muscles! I think you already understand this, I think that a part of you fully comprehends what I'm talking about, simply because you're here, reading this, looking for a better, more potent, more efficient way of losing that annoying belly and those love handles that bother you whenever you wear something tight. So how can I lose this fat, you ask yourself. The answer isn't simple, but it can be summarized in one phrase: Ketogenic Diet. But I have tried all the diets already, you say aloud. But have you truly tried the best one yet? Unlike all the other diets that make you starve yourself, that make you eliminate all your favorite foods from your diet and lead you to nail-biting and frustrating moments, Keto Meal Plan will show you that starving yourself and eliminating all "fattening foods" isn't a good way to lose those extra pounds. It will teach you many things about the human system and metabolism, and it will show you that you, in fact, need "fatty" food to lose weight because fat is fuel, therefore, one can hardly function without healthy fats. That doesn't sound like a diet, you might think. Fats can't be healthy. Well, you are half-way right. Nothing in life is simple, but especially losing fat. The first thing to understand is that it's not fat that makes you overweight, but it's actually trans-fat acids that are usually found in junk food, and yes, fats are healthy. Then you have to understand what is Ketogenic Diet and how it will benefit you not only in losing weight, but also in proper functioning in everyday life by ingesting the proper amount of healthy fats into your system. You will not have to starve yourself, you will not have to torture yourself with hours of exercise a day, and you will see that fat melt away. In this book, you will find the appropriate diet that fits your personal exercising plans. You will find recipes for great various meals that will fill you up and deliver the proper amount of fats, carbs, and other nutrients. Oh, and as every great diet, this one leaves a lot of room for cheat meals! Yes, cheat meals are crucial to weight loss because our immune system adjusts and adapts, and the fat-burning hormones just stop coming and burning fat, which can sometimes lead to illness and even more fat. Ketogenic Diet is the diet that you need! Healthy, quick, and painless.
A Reconstruction of Ptolemy I's History of Alexander's Conquests, a Primary Source Cited in Later Books That Disappeared More Than One Thousand Years Ago Alexander the Great is well known as one of the first great empire builders of the ancient world. Among those fellow Macedonian officers who accompanied Alexander in his epic conquests from Greece to India was Ptolemy Lagides. Ptolemy served alongside Alexander from the Persian defeat at the Battle of Issus in modern-day Turkey and the journey to find the oracle that proclaimed Alexander to be Zeus incarnate, to the Battle of the Hydaspes River in 326 BC that opened India to the West. Following Alexander's death, Ptolemy gained control of Egypt where he founded the dynasty in his name, created the great library of Alexandria, and was patron of the mathematician Euclid. Sometime during his rule in Egypt, Ptolemy wrote a history of Alexander's conquests. Although it is probable that Ptolemy enhanced his own importance, sources indicate that it was regarded as an accurate and even-handed account of the campaigns of Alexander. However, Ptolemy's book was lost--perhaps with the destruction of the library he founded--and not even an original fragment has survived. His book, however, was acknowledged as a primary source of information for later Roman historians. In The Lost Book of Alexander the Great, Andrew Young explores the world of ancient writings about the Macedonian leader in order to determine whether any of Ptolemy's writings can be recovered. Inspired by Stephen Greenblatt's distinguished biography of Shakespeare, Will in the World, and written for the general reader, the author uses literary forensics to suggest which parts of later books about Alexander the Great, most notably the account by Arrian of Nicomedia, might be the words of Ptolemy. In addition to separating later Roman sensibilities from the original Greek of Ptolemy, the author re-creates the famous library of Alexandria, and takes the reader along on Alexander's conquests as closely as we can to how Ptolemy may have recounted them.

"The greatest political saga, the one that has it all, that gets to the real heart of American politics, is the John Edwards story... This isn't just politics, it's literature. It's the great American novel, the kind that isn't written anymore." --Michael Wolff on John Edwards's trajectory, on VanityFair.comThe underside of modern American politics -- raw ambition, manipulation, and deception -- are revealed in detail by Andrew Young's riveting account of a presidential hopeful's meteoric rise and scandalous fall. Like a non-fiction version of All the King's Men, The Politician offers a truly disturbing, even shocking perspective on the risks taken and tactics employed by a man determined to rule the most powerful nation on earth. Idealistic and ambitious, Andrew Young volunteered for the John Edwards campaign for Senate in 1998 and quickly became the candidate's right hand man. As the senator became a national star, Young's responsibilities grew. For a decade he was this politician's confidant and he was assured he was 'like family." In time, however, Young was drawn into a series of questionable assignments that culminated with Edwards asking him to help conceal the Senator's ongoing adultery. Days before the 2008 presidential primaries began, Young gained international notoriety when he told the world that he was the father of a child being carried by a woman named Rielle Hunter, who was actually the senator's mistress. While Young began a life on the run, hiding from the press with his family and alleged mistress, John Edwards continued to pursue the presidency and then the Vice Presidency in the future Obama administration.Young had been the senator's closest aide and most trusted friend. He believed that John Edwards could be a great president, and was assured throughout the cover-up that his boss and friend would ultimately step forward to both tell the truth and protect his aide's career. Neither promise was kept. Not only a moving personal account of Andrew Young's political education, THE POLITICIAN offers a look at the trajectory which made John Edwards the ideal Democratic candidate for president, and the hubris which brought him down, leaving his career, his marriage and his dreams in ashes.
