Jack your body up to its full metabolic potential.
Tired of dieting? Eating non-fat and carb-free foods that don’t satisfy? Then stop! You’ve been wrecking your metabolism with yo-yo fad diets and chemical filled non-foods. Jillian Michaels is here to repair the damage and retrain your hormones and endocrine system into a fat burning engine.
Master Your Metabolism is a simple three-phase plan that amps up your weight-loss hormones and kicks those fat-storing hormones to the curb. In Master Your Metabolism, you’ll learn how to:
• Remove anti-nutrients and toxins that are slowing your metabolism.
• Restore natural, whole foods to your diet—foods that will rally your fat burning hormones.
• Rebalance by sleeping, dealing with stress, and exercising in ways that manage your hormones best.
As tough as Jillian makes it for you in the gym, she makes metabolism management easy with shopping lists, online resources, hormone-trigger food charts, budgeting tips, smart strategies for eating out, and quick and easy recipes.
Master Your Metabolism teaches you how to reach your optimum health and weight and turn your body into the ultimate fat burning machine.

Men will want you like they want a glass of rum … One man will love you. But you won’t love him. You will destroy his life. The one you love will break your heart in two.
So says Mrs. Jeremiah, the soothsayer, when predicting young Celia’s future. Raised in the tropics of Tobago by an aunt she loves and an uncle she fears, Celia has never felt that she belonged. When her uncle — a man the neighbors call Allah because he thinks himself mightier than God - does something unforgivable, Celia escapes to the bustling capital city.
There she quickly embraces her burgeoning independence, finding a job and putting down roots. Her search for a place to call home is soon complicated by an affectionate friendship with William, a thoughtful gardener, and a strong sexual tension with her employer. All too quickly, Celia finds herself fulfilling the soothsayer’s predictions and living a life of tangled desperation—trapped between the man who offers her passion and the one who offers his heart.
Deftly exploring the rush of first love and one woman’s search for her identity set against the lush landscape of the Caribbean, this is a vivid, intensely moving novel from an amazingly talented new writer.
