The Reality Diet: Lose the Pounds for Good with a Cardiologist’s Simple, Healthy, Proven Plan
by Dr. Steven A. Schnur, M.D.
After seeing many of his patients fail on fad diets, and suffer health-threatening side effects, Dr. Steven A. Schnur, founder of the largest cardiology practice in South Florida, developed a breakthrough program: The REALity Diet – a new eating plan sprinkled with a dose of reality.
A statement against fad or extreme diets, The REALity Diet concentrates on eating real food in the real world. Since the release of THE REALITY DIET in hardcover last year, thousands of people all over the country have been following Dr. Schnur’s proven plan, dropping pounds with great success - two pounds a week and up to 30 pounds in three months on average – and are continuing to do so in a way that ensures they are as healthy on the inside as they are on the outside.
This is not a low-carb, low-fat, or high protein. It’s a diet rich with delicious foods from all food groups and high in one key fat-fighting ingredient – fiber. Not only does fiber stop hunger, it also significantly lowers the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and a host of other illnesses including breast cancer. Continue reading »

No Matter What
by Jordana Ryan
Haunted by her involvement in her parents death at the age of ten, Cassandra has never been confident in the love that others felt for her—not her adoptive parents, her friends and certainly not the man she loved with all her heart.
So, after giving herself to her high school sweetheart on prom night, she flees from the overpowering fears and all those who supported her.
And then after four years of sleeping with one strange man after another—whose names she couldn’t remember or never knew—she decided enough was enough. It was time to return to face those she’d left behind, particularly Brenden Carter.
Brenden should hate Cass for running away from their love and with his daughter, but somehow even after years of telling himself he hated her–and doing a lot of womanizing himself–Cass’ smile still managed to get next to him.
Will he be able to forgive her for leaving him when he needed her most? Continue reading »
