Book Description How the 90/10 Plan Works. The 90/10 plan was developed especially for people who tried to lose weight but just couldn't give up their favorite foods. It is a way of eating that is so healthy and nutritious you can still indulge your Fun Food fantasies-because those indulgences are actually a part of the plan. The 90/10 plan offers three different caloric levels based on the amount of weight you want to lose and the amount of exercise you are willing to commit to each week. Once you've selected your goal, you'll have two full weeks of deliciously different breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks-that's forty-two meals for each plan! Each meal is nutritionally balanced as well as calorically manipulated/designed so that you can swap meals and always have foods you like. If your desired weight loss is not reached at the end of two weeks, simply repeat the plan until your goal is attained. The 90/10 plan is perfectly adjusted to provide approximately 50 percent of total calories from quality carbohydrates, moderate amounts from lean protein, and limited amounts from fat-proportions that research has proven to be optimal for good health and disease prevention. The meal plans are balanced to provide you with the most vitamins and minerals possible for the controlled amount of calories consumed. <P> The 90/10 menus are also low in saturated fat and dietary cholesterol, and high in fiber, phytochemicals, and antioxidants, all of which will help to reduce your risk of heart disease and certain cancers. You Can Still Eat Your Favorite Fun Foods In chapter nine you'll find literally hundreds of your favorite brand-name sweet treats, salty snacks, rich desserts, and other indulgences, presented in portion-controlled servings that are pre-calculated to fit into the 90/10 plan. Yes, you really can continue to eat your favorite jellybeans, chips, candy bars, or ice cream. <P>With the 90/10 plan you'll learn to satisfy your taste buds, lose weight, and keep it off forever.

Delinsky, Barbara: An Irresistible Impulse, HarperTorch September 1, 1997 ISBN: 0061008761
,,Sitting in a Vermont jury room, Abby Barnes is happy to be empaneled. The trial is a sensational headline-grabber, and the thought of being sequestered for a few weeks is appealing. The time away from a relationship that fails to excite her will give her a chance to think ... and to make a long overdue decision.\n\nThen she meets fellow juror Ben Wyeth, a witty and charming college professor who shows Abby just what she's been missing. But although they share grueling days of grisly testimony and long nights of passion, there is a part of Ben that he can never share with Abby, or any woman. Just as the fate of an accused man lies in the balance, so too does Abby's, as she decides whether what Ben can give is enough ... enough to last her a lifetime.

Siddons, Anne Rivers: Colony, HarperTorch June 1, 1993 ISBN: 0061099708
,,If it's gothic, Siddons can do it, or so it would appear in this latest novel destined for commercial success. In it, she takes her gifts for melodrama and tangling family trees up north, to a summer colony for Boston Brahmins on the coast of Maine, called simply ''Retreat.'' But Siddons's heroine is a southerner, and on her she demonstrates one of her best tricks--her deep intimacy with her leading ladies, which the author shares with her readers from the get-go. Anyway, it isn't easy for sweet young Maude Gascoigne, from a moldering plantation near Charleston, to fit in when her new husband, sterling-silver Peter Chambliss (of a Boston banking family, Princeton, and Retreat), takes her to the summer place. For the first few decades Maude battles it out with her insufferable, hypercritical mother-in-law, the drunken and lecherous husband of her best friend, Amy Potter, and even Peter himself--a depressive, hermetic man who just sails away whenever things get rough. Gradually, though, little Maudie gets some starch and learns to endure almost anything, including: the death of her mother-in-law (''my beloved enemy''); Peter's weird coldness to his own two children, which ultimately sends the younger, Happy, to a sanitarium; the death of a grandson; the return of a bad seed, Elizabeth, Amy Potter's girl, who does her best to break up Maude's son's marriage; and whispers that float on the salt spray every summer about how much Elizabeth looks like Peter. Well, it turns out that Elizabeth's connection to Peter is very much an issue--but we're not telling why. Long-suffering Maude may not be everyone's cup of tea, but this time Siddons gets the melodrama balance just right and shows she's as much at home in Maine as she was in Georgia. Fans will be doing cartwheels, and others will queue up.
