Carb cycling is not new to the body-building community but to the general public it is a newer concept. It is related to carb restriction, but provides more variety. The concepts in Chris Powell’s "Choose More, Loser More for life" contain the following:
"Choose More Lose More" presents 4 detailed Carbohydrate Cycling plans:
The Easy Cycle is for those who are "just starting their journey.:
The Classic Cycle is the plan that gives you a "boosted metabolism with fast weight loss."
The Turbo Cycle accelerates and intensifies carb-cycling results so you can reach your weight loss as quickly as possible.
the Fit Cycle is for those who are already very active but "want to drop some weight."
9 minute missions: 20 different workouts designed for optimal results. Each workout is 9 min, and of course you can and our encouraged to, extend the workout longer.
These exercises range from low intensity to high and are mostly calisthenic. They can be done at home or anywhere include: jogging in place, stepping side to side, jumping jacks, standing knee raises with boxing punches. All of these can raise the heart rate to the individual’s desired levels.
One of the major pluses to this workout is that you do not have to always 1. go low fat-high carb (which has proven to cause weight gain and hyper-insulinism in many people), nor 2. go high protein and high fat with low / restricted carb intake. You can mix up your eating lifestyle, lose weight, and improve your health.
Also advocated, is eating 5 meals spread throughout the day to increase metabolism and maintain blood sugar levels. The book includes 35 recipes for main meals and snacks. Download Chris Powell’s Choose More, Lose More for Life – May 7, 2013 PDF Free Download

Melanie has written in the past on motherhood and marriage, but in this latest book, she explores the intricate relationship of female friendships.
I laughed out loud through her first two books, Sparkly Green Earrings: Catching the Light at Every Turn and The Antelope in the Living Room: The Real Story of Two People Sharing One Life — and this collection was no exception. However, in my opinion, Nobody’s Cuter Than You has an added depth and maturity. It’s filled with hilarious anecdotes, but the lessons gleaned about friendship are rich and full of wisdom.
Throughout the book, Melanie aptly chronicles the whole gamut from early childhood bonds, to the awkward teen years; crazy college shenanigans, and even the challenges of navigating post-college and married life friendships.
I found this book to be both realistic and encouraging. Melanie didn’t shy away from some of the pain that can occur as a result of female friendships, because “any time you attempt to put all your faith in another human being, it’s inevitable that it will lead to disappointment.”
She addresses the sting of betrayal and the hurt caused both by petty accusations and deep, intentional wounds, sharing that “sometimes the best lessons are the ones that hurt the most.”
Melanie touches on the depth of emotion involved when friends truly love each other, and reminded me of the command found in Romans 12:15 to “rejoice with those who rejoice, and mourn with those who mourn.” When her friend Jen’s dad died, Melanie learned one of the most important lessons about what it means to be a good friend: “You show up for your people.

Author: Matt Forbeck ID: B00U2OBA9E
The New York Times best-selling series based on the blockbuster Xbox® games! While Spartans get all the glory, no soldier – not even the legendary Master Chief – wins a war on his own. Gunnery Sergeant Edward Buck and his team of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (ODSTs) played a major role in saving the Earth from all-out invasion at the end of the Covenant War – acts of bravery and ingenuity that did not go unnoticed by the United Nations Space Command. Now, after many Spartans have been killed in battle, and the Master Chief is listed as MIA, the UNSC decides to create a new generation of Spartans to defend humanity from threats both outside and within. When they come to Buck with an extraordinary proposition, he is forced to make a life-altering decision. With the Covenant War finally over, is it time for him finally to retire to the sidelines for a life he could only dream about…or is he prepared to step up and become part of the military’s new blood?
Done.

Halo: New Blood. A short story intended to… Well… I’m actually not entirely certain of its purpose. It continues the story of Alpha Nine, the ODST Squad from the video game Halo 3:ODST, obviously, but it doesn’t feel like simple fanservice. It takes bold steps with those characters’ personal journeys and/or fates, the type very likely to alienate devoted fans who adore these characters and have been involved in their experiences in-game. I won’t spoil anything, but I will say that the steps taken with the Rookie and Mickey are easily the most extreme.
The narrative structure here is written in the first person, from the perspective of Edward Buck, a former Orbital Drop Shock Trooper. He recounts his journey to joining the Spartan-IV program, making stops throughout his life to highlight what he sees as key moments and experiences. Avoiding spoilers, these sections are rather variable; some feel slightly irrelevant while others are extremely important storywise, and one extended section is more or less a straightforward rehash of ODST’s campaign, similar to the novel "Halo: The Flood" by William Dietz. The narrative frequently feels jumbled, there are some severe issues with the "stories within stories within stories" structure that the book follows, as I frequently found myself losing track of where I was at in Buck’s story timewise.
However, the fact remains that the characters here are excellently portrayed, considering the limitations the novel’s length imposes as a matter of necessity. Many emotional and tense moments are engagingly written, the plot never spirals into overly slow sections, and most importantly of all, the Spartan-IVs are humanized far better than Halo 4, Spartan Ops, and the entirety of Halo Escalations ever managed.
So this came out today (yesterday? sheesh time flies) and i read it. The story is narrated by former Gunnery Sergeant Buck from the game Halo: ODST and tells various tales from his past as well as some things that may lead into the events of Halo 5. One of those things that we haven’t really heard about yet is the creation of spartan IVs which I was excited to read about. The rest of it however was a mystery to me.
As I mentioned it’s told from the perspective of Buck in first person, I was disappointed to learn that there’s no audiobook narrated by Nathan Fillion out right now which is something that desperately needs to happen.
Otherwise is was a pretty good read, I had fun reading it in Fillions voice in my head. I’m not sure how much of it ties directly in to anything that could possibly be in Halo 5. I think the important bits from it are that Spartan Jun is a member of the spartan program and one of their recruiters. Its plot dealt heavily with the entity known as the United Rebel Front, a human faction that opposes the UNSC, which leads me to believe that we might have human opponents in Halo 5. Spartan IV’s will obviously be major characters in Halo 5. I don’t think we’ll see Buck in Halo 5 but hey who knows.
The other parts of the story deal heavily with Bucks life and the events of Halo: ODST. Buck talks about how he got into his fling with Veronica Dare, and remarks about her throughout the story providing it with a fun to read romance aspect. He talks about what happened to your player character “The Rookie” in ODST and the rest of his squad. If you’re a fan of ODST this is an easy pickup.
Overall I was very satisfied with New Blood.
Halo is the franchise that turned me into a hardcore gamer, and Eric Nylund’s Halo novels are a very large part of what turned me into an avid reader (sorry Harry Potter). They added depth and character to a universe I already loved, and told stories that were just as exciting as the video games they bridged together.
Which makes me wonder, why wasn’t THIS book the official bridge between Halo 3 and Halo 4? Karen Traviss’s Kilo Five trilogy may have much more substantial links to Halo 4 as far as direct backstory is concerned, but Halo: New Blood does an infinitely better job of setting up the new state of the galaxy in general, and the Spartan-IV program specifically. Halo: New Blood actually FEELS like Halo, and not a sluggish and boring political science thesis like the Kilo Five trilogy did.
New Blood also does an excellent job of expanding on the character of Gunnery Sergeant Edward Buck, the fan-favorite ODST played by Nathan Fillion in the games. Not only do we find out what he and the rest of the characters of Halo 3: ODST have been doing since that game, we also get to see his entire backstory with glimpses of his childhood, early career as an ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Trooper), and how he first met ONI Captain Veronica Dare. And perhaps the best aspect of this is that Matt Forbeck manages to capture the character of Buck so well that I actually found myself reading this book in Nathan Fillion’s voice inside my head. To my knowledge, this is the first Halo novel that has been written in first-person, and using a major game character as that narrator on top of it.
This first-person perspective makes it much easier to handle the fact that this novel does not tell a linear narrative.

I was studying for my surgery SHELF exam and heard this was a good resource. I read some reviews and there were a lot of people complaining about terrible errors made throughout the book. Well, I decided to purchase it anyway and see what all the buzz was about.
In general, the critics have been correct – there are a lot of errors made throughout the book. But they are stupid errors and easily noticed to be incorrect. For instance, there are 4-5 review questions at the end of every chapter. Well, in the answer section to these review questions, there are LOTS of mistakes – the answer description will say that the answer is D when the answer is definitely NOT D. The description will go on to explain why answer A is correct thus completely contradicting itself. And these types of errors are made over and over – just about every 3rd chapter or so has a review question that has an error similar to this one. So, yes it has a ton stupid (and unbelievable) errors, but I don’t think they take away from the book or hinder your studying.
Even though there are errors throughout, I would still recommend this book. In fact, I wish I had started reading this book earlier in my rotation because it has tons of info that I was pimped on throughout the rotation.
As others have reviewed, I am 15 cases in and have noticed half a dozen or more blatant errors. Frustrating to read and makes studying more time consuming.
Despite several egregious factual errors, the cases and the explanations thereof are generally solid. The diagrams are also good and certainly appropriately detailed for the level of a third year medical student.
My principal qualm with this text is that the questions are poorly written, both with respect to factual information and in terms of typographical editing, and are sorely in need of revision. It’s not just a scattered question here or there that needs attention, it’s at least one question in almost every chapter. Unfortunately, there are no published errata, making the use of this textbook for a detail-oriented medical student (such as myself) all the more frustrating and time-consuming.
I would not recommend this book as a sole resource to any student in their surgery clerkship.

Review
“Not for nothing has Abbott been called a ‘pioneer of sizzle history.’ Here she creates a gripping page-turner that moves at a breathtaking clip through the dramatic events of the Civil War.” (Los Angeles Times)
“Engrossing…Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy is conscientiously researched and smoothly written and structured.” (Wall Street Journal)
“A revelation… Abbott profiles four [women], sometimes weaving, sometimes stacking their stories together into a compelling narrative.” (USA Today (four stars))
“Eloquent… A riveting psychological inquiry and probing examination of the courage, incomparable patriotism, stamina, and agility of four women who repeatedly risked their lives to serve their citizenry… Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy [feels] like an operatic espionage novel, where deception, betrayal, love, and redemption are interspersed with gripping combat scenes and perilous rescues.” (Los Angeles Review of Books)
“Karen Abbott’s Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy…is full of so many titillating dramas and details, you could be forgiven for periodically checking the back of the book to make sure it’s nonfiction.” (Christian Science Monitor)
“Gripping… a remarkable story of passion, strength, and resilience.” (Publishers Weekly (Starred Review))
“Compelling… Karen Abbott stitches together a patchwork narrative as complex as a pieced quilt, combining the colorful, unrelated tales of four women who fought in the Civil War as surely as Lee and Grant… [her] high achievement lies in her Augean compilation of published and archival material.” (Washington Times)
“Abbott’s prose is vivid, especially when she writes about battles and the terrible costs they exact.” (Washington Post)
“Karen Abbott’s powerful narrative is first rate American history about a fascinating, little-known chapter of the Civil War, as well as a compulsive, thrilling saga of espionage. Brilliant storytelling, highly accessible, and impossible to put down.” (Gilbert King, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Devil in the Grove)

Halfway through her book, I decided Ian Fleming could not have invented better spies…nor have written about them with any more suspense.” (Robert Hicks, New York Times bestselling author of The Widow of the South and A Separate Country)
Thrilling, illuminating, heart-pounding. Liar, Temptress, Solider, Spy reads like a crackling espionage novel…Karen Abbott brings to vivid life four of extraordinary and audacious women, and runs glorious roughshod over all our traditional notions of the role of women in the Civil War. (Megan Abbott, Edgar-award winning and New York Times bestselling author of Dare Me and The Fever )
“Beautifully written, meticulously researched, and paced like an edge-of-your-seat-novel—I love this big, ambitious, unstoppable book.” ( Joshilyn Jackson, New York Times bestselling author of Gods in Alabama and Someone Else’s Love Story)
The subjects of Karen Abbott’s gripping story Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy leap up — and almost off — the page… an irresistibly good tale of Civil War espionage and a reminder that the heroes of our history are often found in the most unexpected places. (Deborah Blum, New York Times bestselling author of The Poisoner’s Handbook)

A Christian Science Monitor Best Book of 2014
New York Times bestselling author Karen Abbott tells the spellbinding true story of four women who risked everything during the Civil War.
Seventeen-year-old Belle Boyd, an avowed rebel with a dangerous temper, shot a Union soldier in her home, and became a courier and spy for the Confederate army, using her considerable charms to seduce men on both sides. Emma Edmonds disguised herself as a man to enlist as a Union private named Frank Thompson, witnessing the bloodiest battles of the war and infiltrating enemy lines. The beautiful widow Rose O'Neal Greenhow engaged in affairs with powerful Northern politicians and used her young daughter to send information to Southern generals. Elizabeth Van Lew, a wealthy Richmond abolitionist, hid behind her proper Southern manners as she orchestrated a far-reaching espionage ring—even placing a former slave inside the Confederate White House—right under the noses of increIDgly suspicious rebel detectives.
With a cast of real-life characters, including Nathaniel Hawthorne, General Stonewall Jackson, Detective Allan Pinkerton, Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln, and Emperor Napoléon III, Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy shines a dramatic new light on these daring—and, until now, unsung—heroines.

Like most Civil War buffs, I read every new book that comes out on the subject, whether to confirm/contradict what I already know or to learn new information to add to my mental database. Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy: Four Women Undercover in the Civil War does both. The author, Karen Abbott, has selected four women whose lives are chronicled in the book – two from each side of the conflict – who served during the war in some capacity, mainly as spies. The book will be for sale on this September.
I am familiar with all four women, to a lesser or greater degree. Surely the most infamous female spies of the war were those supporting the Southern cause: Rose O’Neal Greenhow, a Washington Socialite who coaxed many northern politicians into divulging secrets, and Belle Boyd, a small town girl from Martinsburg, Virginia (later West Virginia) who through sheer moxy served as a courier by carrying intelligence to her hero Stonewall Jackson. They were certainly the most colorful and flamboyant of all who served. The two women supporting the north were Elizabeth Van Lew and Emma Edmonds. While Greenhow’s and Boyd’s names were splashed across newspapers of the time, celebrating (or condemning) their accomplishments, Van Lew and Edmonds by necessity served in silence. Van Lew lived in Richmond yet remained loyal to the Union. Her efforts at assisting Yankee soldiers escaping from Confederate prisons and runaway slaves from their masters were no small feat during war time. Her neighbors as well as the government suspected, but were never able to catch her in the act. And finally, Emma Edmonds, who passed herself off as a man and served the north as a soldier/spy in some of the bloodiest battles of the war.
Liar, Temptress, Solider, Spy follows four women’s efforts to help their respective sides during the course of the Civil War and fight alongside men breaking gender norms of the time. The women Belle Boyd, Rose O’Neal Greenhow, Elizabeth Van Lew and Emma Edmonds each have a unique story and the author keeps a fast pace making this book a page turner.
Belle Boyd was living in what is now West Virginia and a supporter of the south when Union soldiers came into the town to occupy. Upon entering the house Boyd shot a Union solider and earned notoriety for it. She continued her work as a courier for the confederates and serving her idol General Stonewall Jackson. After being arrested and sent to prison in the north where she continued her strong acts of defiance shew as finally exchanged on parole and told to stay out of the North. Acting as an overseas courier she was stopped on a ship and detained by the navy where she charmed one captain into marrying her. Boyd is a southern hero who craved fame above all else and was a true believer in the cause especially wanting to follow her idol Stonewall.
Rose O’Neal Greenhow was a socialite in Washington DC who was a strong supporter of the Southern Cause. She charmed top military leaders and senators to gleam information and send them to her friend Beaugrard. She was credited by confederate authorities for providing the key information in allowing First Manassas to be a victory. Greenhow was arrested by the north and became one of the first women detained during the war along with her daughter. After she was exchanged she was a celebrity in the south and was sent on a diplomatic mission to England and France to try and win support for the cause there.

Carter & Lovecraft Hardcover – October 20, 2015
Author: Visit ‘s Jonathan L. Howard Page ID: 1250060893
Review
“Carter & Lovecraft is a Pandora’s Box loaded with all of the wonderfully twisted stuff I love, including a two-fisted homicide cop turned P.I., warped realities, a mysterious bookstore, the Cthulhu mythos, a dash of romance, and creepy fish-men. What’s not to love? Jonathan L. Howard knows how to show his readers a wickedly good time.” Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of Dead Ringers on Carter & Lovecraft
“Something new under Lovecraft’s leering stars. Once again we discover that H.P. Lovecraft ‘s tales were more than mere fictions, and so is this novelit’s a very good fiction. I’ll be keeping my eyes open for more novels from Mr. Howard (no, not Robert E. but Jonathan L.).” Brian Lumley, author of Necroscope, on Carter & Lovecraft
“So much Lovecraftian fiction misses the point. You want to shake the author and shout, ‘Weren’t you paying attention?’ Jonathan L. Howard gets it right and offers a delightfully original (and non-Euclidean) twist on the mythos and H.P. Lovecraft himself. Highly recommended.” F. Paul Wilson, author of the Repairman Jack series, on Carter & Lovecraft
“Layer by layer, Howard deconstructs the Lovecraftian universe. His detective protagonist is plunged into the heart of a bloody mystery where every step forward brings him closer to doom, and where every revelation peels away the familiar, the known, and finally, all that is rational. Carter & Lovecraft is a sleek, addicting horror novel that gleefully inverts and contradicts Mythos tropes.” Laird Barron, author of The Beautiful Thing That Awaits Us All
“In the cosmic darkness between Sam Spade and Dirk Gently, there’s a nest of tentacles. On that nest of tentacles is Jonathan L. Howard’s Carter and Lovecraft. You are here. It doesn’t get any more weird-boiled than this.” Stephen Graham Jones, author of Growing Up Dead in Texas
“Howards take on Lovecraft and his influence is unexpected and somewhat unique and one of several reasons why this inaugural title is noteworthy.” Bookgasm
“Howard is a supremely talented writer and the Johannes Cabal series makes for superb reading. It would be easy at this point to say if you like Rankin or Fforde or Pratchett or Holt, then you will love these books, but while it may well be true it would be doing Howard a disservice.” Sci-Fi-London on the Johannes Cabal Series
“Genre fans will appreciate Howard’s attention to world building, while more general readers will simply enjoy all the horrific fun.” Booklist on the Johannes Cabal Series
“Howard’s ear for witty banter and his skill at rendering black comedy bode well for the future.” Publishers Weekly on the Johannes Cabal Series
“Fans of the original Lovecraft will have their rewards … but this series debut from Howard (Nightclubbing, 2015, etc.) shines brightest when keeping to his characters’ easy banter and creepy deaths.” Kirkus Reviews on Carter & Lovecraft
“This refreshingly original novel updates the eldritch horrors of H.P. Lovecraft for the 21st century.” Publishers Weekly on Carter & Lovecraft
“Howard brings the fine writing and attention to detail (character, dialogue, environment) that he developed in the Cabal series to this new book, and his fans should follow him to Rhode Island. Those unfamiliar with the Cabal books, especially readers with a taste for modern-day urban fantasy, should also be pointed in this titles direction.” Booklist on Carter & Lovecraft

I will admit I’ve been curious about HP Lovecraft but his work always seemed a bit inaccessible to me. JL Howard, on the other hand, has been one of my favorite novelists from page one of Johannes Cabal Necromancer. Howard is highly literate, wickedly smart and inventive and just generally a great writer for anyone who likes good prose and inventive story lines. His new novel, Carter & Lovecraft is both a continuation and extension of those qualities and I found in this book that he is CLEARLY a Lovecraft fan and in fact has referenced those works in The Cabal series. A series I still follow with great enthusiasm, pleasure and joy. The man is just a great author in a time when editing seems to have virtually gone out the window and creative stories which don’t follow predictable "guidelines" are usually tossed aside the way Hollywood tosses aside new movies in favor of established "blockbusters" that will generate more predictable box-office earnings.
Carter & Lovecraft is both a detective story/mystery and a voyage through "the mountains of madness" as we follow the central characters while they work to suspend their own disbelief and jump down the rabbit hole in order to solve a series of related murders and deaths which seem, on the surface, to be both impossible and factual at the same time. All the while making discoveries about each other, their respective ancestors and the relationships between all of the above, "deaths" included, and the roles they seem destined to play in all of it… which is not to say there isn’t some machinations going on behind the scenes as well.
