Viva Editions: Books for Inspired Living Author Polly Campbell Offers the Keys to Self Acceptance on the Radio and in Bookstores

(PRWEB) February 20, 2013

"This is a culture of perfection seekers," Polly Campbell says in Imperfect Spirituality. "Collectively everyone celebrates youth, money, beauty, thinness, and ambition."

That's not to say to give up on self-improvement altogether. Theres nothing wrong with a little hair dye or trying a technique to help one live well. Most people do want to look better and feel better in their skin. Everyone wants to be a better person. Personal development is valid and worthwhile when it comes from a place of curiosity and passion, when it comes from a desire to grow and to create meaning-filled lives. But too often people want to sweep away their flaws in order to measure up to some Hollywood ideal.

Everyone invests time and puts attention on fixing, changing, avoiding, denying, and hiding imperfections to match some contrived cultural expectation, rather than living from whats right and true for them. Lets do it differently. Its time to shift the focus and energy from whats wrong with us to what is right within us."

Harmony Books and Random House Digital Launches App for The Fast Metabolism Diet Book to Help People Lose Weight Quickly and Efficiently

New York City, New York (PRWEB) April 09, 2013

Today, Random House Digital and Harmony Books released The Fast Metabolism Diet App, a companion iOS app for the book, The Fast Metabolism Diet by Haylie Pomroy. The Fast Metabolism Diet App coordinates with the 28-day weight loss program championed by Pomroy, a celebrity nutritionist revolutionizing the way people think about the word diet.

Pomroys strategic system encourages a dramatic weight loss without counting calories, carbohydrates or fat grams. She says this about her program: On the 28-day diet, we use specific whole, delicious foods eaten on strategic days to repair the metabolism. By rotating the types of nutrients youre getting, we can get your body burning fat like never before.

The app gives dieters the tools they need to put the books plan into action. The Meal Planner helps users plan their day and customize the diet to their tastes and busy schedules. A dashboard offers a day-at-a-glance view so users can check off what they ate and track their water intake throughout the day. Push notifications help keep users on track by pinging reminders for an upcoming meal or snack. A master food list makes it easy to stick to the diet while dining out or grocery shopping.

Other features include:

Complete lists for all the foods and ingredients allowed in each phase of the diet
My Day tracker with upcoming meals and activities
Interactive water tracker
Email grocery lists to print or share
