FODMAPs (Fermentable, Oligo/Di/Mono-saccharides and Polyols) are all types of carbohydrates that are poorly absorbed in the small intestine. The low-FODMAP diet has been clinically proven to be effective in reducing IBS symptoms. The Complete Low-FODMAP Diet Plan is essential reading for those who have received a formal medical diagnosis and are seeking to alleviate the symptoms of gut discomfort through changes in their diet. This detailed handbook describes how the low-FODMAP diet works, details the FODMAPs to be avoided, and explains the three-stage process of elimination, reintroduction and personalisation in a comprehensive diet plan. It demystifies the reintroduction phase of the low-FODMAP diet, bringing clarity to a topic where information, knowledge and experience is scarce, and providing the reader with a structured reintroduction protocol to follow. The book also includes 75 tasty gut-friendly recipes. Readers who follow the low-FODMAP diet closely can experience less bloating and discomfort, a reduction in abdominal pain and other gut-related symptoms, and improved energy levels and mood.

Fitness is as much about the mental journey as it is the physical; many women second-guess themselves and put their needs last. In Do This for You, Krissy takes this challenge head-on and shares her empowering, no-nonsense approach to leading a guilt-free, active, healthy and happy lifestyle, giving you the skills to be both strong and confident. Through her expert coaching, you will learn to build a positive framework to 'sculpt the mind' by finding what motivates you and by challenging your mental barriers and preconceptions, as well as providing simple techniques to build healthy habits that last. Krissy will also help reframe your thoughts around eating well and exercise, all while keeping things realistic, achievable and fun - nobody should give up the things they love or beat themselves up at the gym. Instead, the focus is on listening to what your body needs and developing a deeper sense of self- confidence and determination that will radiate into every corner of your life. About the author Krissy Cela first turned to fitness during a particularly challenging time in her life and started posting her workouts on social media while studying for a law degree. Her following quickly grew, and she now has a loyal and devoted community of more than 2.7 million followers on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube who she lovingly refers to as her 'familia'. In January 2019 she launched the smash hit app, Tone & Sculpt, comprising over 500 workouts, a community forum and a meal planner fully customisable for each users' dietary needs. The app achieved more than 250,000 downloads in its first six months alone.

What she has managed to do is to master her fears and use their power to her advantage. In this inspirational book, Aimee will teach you how to transform your fears into opportunities instead of obstacles. Encouraging you to get up close and personal with your fears, Aimee shows you: - What fear is, both physically and mentally - How to recognise it in yourself - How to be mindful of fear without letting it take control - How to reframe fear and build a healthy relationship with it By knowing your enemies inside out, you will keep them highly visible, highly tangible and highly manageable.

Aimee applies all the lessons she has learned from being a competitive athlete and provides tools that can be applied to any aspect of life, including goal setting, maintaining consistency, acknowledging successes, finding a supportive community and dealing with disappointment.

  • Meet the Predators
    volume 5 issue 9/2016 MEET THE PREDATORS THE BRANDING PRACTICES BEHIND DRAGONS’ DEN, SHARK TANK AND HÖHLE DER LÖWEN Sabine Baumann Jade University Department of Management, Information, Technology Friedrich-Paffrath-Str. 101 26389 Wilhelmshaven Germany [email protected] Ulrike Rohn Tallinn University Baltic, Film, Media, Arts and Communication School (BFM) Centre of Excellence in Media Innovation and Digital Culture (MEDIT) Narva mnt 27, 10120 Tallinn Estonia [email protected] Abstract: The TV industry has traditionally relied on advertising and subscription fees for revenue. Recently, brand extensions and co-branding strategies have been rediscovered as income sources. A prominent example of such a strategy is the TV format Dragons’ Den, which has been locally produced in many different countries. We use this intriguing case to explore the extensive and intricate co-branding relationships and brand extensions in the business-to-consumer and the business-to-business settings of TV companies. Our paper analyses global adaptations and cultural branding of Dragons’Den; in particular, brand extensions and co-branding strategies. Keywords: business practices, international TV formats, co-branding, brand extensions, cultural branding, finance, localisation, celebrity entrepreneur In times of ever-increasing information and entertainment choice across a growing number of media platforms, being noticed by audiences is increasingly important and difficult. Being able to offer a brand that adds emotional and value-driven attributes to a media product helps advertisers attract audiences and stand out from the mass of media products offered.1 Furthermore, having a recognizable brand among one’s product portfolio may help to garner advertising revenues from export or licensing agreements.2 1 Sabine Baumann, ‘Media Branding from an Organizational and Management-Centered Perspective’, in Gabriele Siegert et al., eds., Handbook of Media Branding, 2015, pp.
