Top 4 Nutritional Products for Losing Weight
Diet culture makes us feel that the only way to lose weight is to binge on a lot of fancy "superfoods," and food is only healthy if it is carb-free, gluten-free, or even better, dairy-free. Such is not the case, since most individuals can't precisely make such diets work properly for themselves. You are likely considerably better off investing your efforts in consuming more of the correct meals to help you lose that weight. We chatted with two nutritionists to obtain their choices for things to put in your shopping basket to achieve exactly that. These nine meals contain full fiber and protein yet are lower in calories—a combination that makes it easier to lose weight without feeling deprived. Read on for these choices from nutritionists.

How To Make Learning As Addictive As Social Media
Education in poor counties like Sudan, Afghanistan and many more often creates inequality, as wealthier people can afford a good education, while poorer people struggle to learn basic skills like reading and writing. I was lucky, though, because even though I didn’t grow up wealthy, I pushed myself to the limits and worked harder as I ever could, allowing me to come to the U.S. for college and later earn a PhD in computer science.

Book Review: The Phoenix Keeper by S.A. MacLean
Set in a magical zoo teeming with mythical beasts from dragons and unicorns to kelpies and krakens, The Phoenix Keeper is a fierce joy of a cozy fantasy novel with a soul-restoring queer romance at its heart, for fans of The House in the Cerulean Sea and Legends and Lattes. As head phoenix keeper at a world-renowned zoo for magical creatures, Aila's childhood dream of conserving critically endangered firebirds seems closer than ever. There's just one glaring caveat: her zoo's breeding program hasn't functioned for a decade. When a tragic phoenix heist sabotages the flagship initiative at a neighboring zoo, Aila must prove her derelict facilities are fit to take the reins. But saving an entire species from extinction requires more than stellar animal handling skills. Carnivorous water horses, tempestuous thunderhawks, mischievous dragons... Aila has no problem wrangling beasts. But mustering the courage to ask for help from the hotshot griffin keeper at the zoo's most popular exhibit? Virtually impossible. Especially when that hotshot griffin keeper happens to be her arch-rival from college: Luciana, an annoyingly brooding and insufferable know-it-all with the face of a goddess who's convinced that Aila's beloved phoenix would serve their cause better as an active performer rather than as a passive conservation exhibit. With the world watching and the threat of poachers looming, Aila's success is no longer merely a matter of keeping her job... She is the keeper of the phoenix, and the future of a species – and her love life – now rests on her shoulders.

Audiobook Review: Heir of Illusions and Others by Rachanee Lumayno
How do you step into your power when you have none? “Oh, Endri. Don’t say never. You’ll get it soon, I’m sure.” It’s a sentiment I’ve heard countless times. You would think living in the kingdom of Annlyn, land of shapeshifters, would make my own talent come easier. Except my shapeshifting ability has yet to appear—much to the embarrassment of my birth family, who abandoned me years ago. But even under the tutelage of my adopted father Pazho, I still haven’t unlocked my talents. And maybe I never will. So when we hear rumors of—and start finding—other shapeshifters who are forced into their animal forms, unable to turn back, I’m safe. For now. Because whatever is hunting the people of Annlyn has set its sights on my family, my new friends from Calia, Annlyn’s crown princess … And me. Journey to the Gifted Lands, a fantasy world of seven kingdoms, each known for their own unique power or ability. Heir of Illusions and Others is the sixth book in the Kingdom Legacy series set in this magical world. Each book features a new character from one of the kingdoms, with appearances from beloved characters from previous novels.
