Are you gluten-free and struggling to lose weight? Fat burning is a process that reduces fat stores in our body. Fat burning occurs under two different circumstances. - Primarily, fats are burnt during exercise or workouts. The cells utilize the fats as a fuel for releasing energy required by the body to perform various activities. When the activities are intense, the fat burning process also becomes intense. - Fat burning also occurs during the process of digestion. In order to digest the foods, our body burns the fat to release energy. This energy is used for digestion. However, the fats that are burnt during digestion are quite less compared to the nutrients, sugar and fats obtained from the food. - On the other hand, there are certain low-calorie or fat-free foods that does not contain any fat contents. In order to digest such foods, our body might need to burn more fats. In short, consumption of such food items helps in reducing weight. Such food items are known as fat-burning foods.

In this searing, “indisputable page-turner” (Associated Press), a town’s dark secrets come to light in the aftermath of a young priest’s unthinkable last act—in the vein of The Dry and Where the Crawdads Sing. In Riversend, an isolated Australian community afflicted by an endless drought, a young priest does the unthinkable: he kills five parishioners before being taken down himself. A year later, journalist Martin Scarsden arrives in Riversend. His assignment: to report how the townspeople are coping as the anniversary of the tragedy approaches. But as Martin meets the locals and hears their version of events, he begins to realize that the accepted explanation—a theory established through an award-winning investigation by Martin’s own newspaper—may be wrong. Just as Martin believes he’s making headway, a shocking new crime rocks the town. As the national media flocks to the scene, Martin finds himself thrown into a whole new mystery. What was the real reason behind the priest’s shooting spree? And how does it connect to other deaths in the district, if at all? Martin struggles to uncover the town’s dark secrets, putting his job, his mental state, and his very life at risk. For fans of James Lee Burke, Jane Harper, and Robert Crais, Scrublands is “a gritty debut...sensitively rendered” (The New York Times Book Review) that marks Chris Hammer as a stunning new voice in crime fiction.
