About this product: Raúl de Molina siempre había sido gordo y esto no le molestaba ni lo acomplejaba; al contrario, era un gordo feliz. Sin enbargo, tras librar una batalla contra el cáncer, tomó conciencia de que debía bajar de peso y que esto sólo podría lograrlo cambiando radicalmente su alimentación.
Con mucho esfuerzo y fuerza de voluntad, y ante el asombro y orgullo de sus familiares y de los adeptos a su programa El Gordo y la Flaca, ha bajado 70 libras en ocho meses sin la necesidad de medicamentos ni operaciones; lo ha logrado con ejercicio y modificando sus hábitos alimentícios.
Por primera vez, el afamado presentador de televisión comparte en forma abierta e íntima una mezcla de circunstancias familiares y de trabajo que siempre convirtieron la comida en uno de sus más grandes placeres, sin saber el efecto que esto tendría en su salud. Sin perder su sentido de humor, “El Gordo”, como lo siguen llamando cariñosamente, guía al lector sobre los factores básicos para lograr este objectivo: “¿Qué debes comer?”, “¿Cuántas veces al día puedes comer?” y “¿En qué cantidades?”
Ademá, el libro incluye un menú tipo, una rutina de ejercicios básica, un listado de alimentos que no deben faltar en tu dispensa, así como consejos prácticos y útiles para mantenerse en forma y evitar el tan temido “rebote”.
The best-selling, Pulitzer Prize-winning classic hailed by The New York Times Book Review as "a masterwork . . . the novel astonishes with its inventiveness . . . it is nothing less than a grand comic fugue." A Confederacy of Dunces is an American comic masterpiece. John Kennedy Toole's hero, one Ignatius J. Reilly, is "huge, obese, fractious, fastidious, a latter-day Gargantua, a Don Quixote of the French Quarter. His story bursts with wholly original characters, denizens of New Orleans' lower depths, incredibly true-to-life dialogue, and the zaniest series of high and low comic adventures" (Henry Kisor, Chicago Sun-Times).
About this product: To this landmark biography of our first president, Joseph J. Ellis brings the exacting scholarship, shrewd analysis, and lyric prose that have made him one of the premier historians of the Revolutionary era. Training his lens on a figure who sometimes seems as remote as his effigy on Mount Rushmore, Ellis assesses George Washington as a military and political leader and a man whose “statue-like solidity” concealed volcanic energies and emotions.
Here is the impetuous young officer whose miraculous survival in combat half-convinced him that he could not be killed. Here is the free-spending landowner whose debts to English merchants instilled him with a prickly resentment of imperial power. We see the general who lost more battles than he won and the reluctant president who tried to float above the partisan feuding of his cabinet. His Excellency is a magnificent work, indispensable to an understanding not only of its subject but also of the nation he brought into being.
