INTERMITTENT FASTING RIVALRY AND ROMANCE: LONGEVITY AND DIETS by Clyde St Cloud

  Plate on a Table




To Lena Thompson, intermittent fasting is nothing but a scam, and as a dedicated nutritionist, she prides herself on her meticulous approach to health and wellness. After losing her mother to the fake fad of intermittent fasting, Lena becomes fiercely determined to protect others from the same fate. But when a know-it-all personal trainer comes up to her booth to challenge her beliefs, she is thrust into a battle to prove that intermittent fasting is just another dangerous trend that offers false hope. An intermittent fasting face-off wasn't what Ethan had envisioned when he approached Lena for advice.
But what choice did he have atter she brushed off the clear benefits of intermittent fasting without a second thought? As a top-tier personal trainer, Ethan needs to show that intermittent fasting can really boost the health and performance of his clients. Yet, deep down, Ethan has doubts about the possible risks involved. As these two highly accomplished health professionals seek to prove the other wrong, what starts out as a professional rivalry and not-so-friendly competition gradually blossoms into an undeniable attraction. But the stakes couldn't be higher because a loss on either side could ruin their professional reputation and credibility, not to mention their budding relationship. What awaits Lena and Ethan at the other side of the finish line? Will their relationship survive the strain, or will their professional differences tear them apart?
About the Author Clyde St Cloud, a gentleman who struggled with maintaining a healthy weight, found a structured eating schedule that made him more comfortable in his body, further motivating him to create a short story on this subject. #books #book #read #reading #story #femaleempowerment #pages #paper #kindle #nook #mentalhealth #library #author #bookworm #readinglist #love #imagine #literature #stories #words #text #bookstagram #bookphotography #booklover #health #romance #growth #motivation #diet #selfhelp

What the Train Left Behind

 Train loaded with People


What the Train Left Behind


A Quiet Reckoning: Reading What the Train Left Behind Some books explain history. Others let you feel how it continues to live inside people. What the Train Left Behind belongs firmly to the latter. For non-South Asian readers who may know the Partition of India and Pakistan only as a brief chapter in a world history textbook, this book offers a different entry point. It does not recount dates, borders, or political decisions. Instead, it explores what came after. How ordinary lives were shaped long after the maps were redrawn and the headlines faded. These stories are not about the chaos of migration itself. They are about marriages shaped by caution, families organized around unspoken rules, and decisions delayed because earlier generations learned that some choices carried permanent costs. The Partition exists here as an invisible force, felt rather than explained. What stands out most is the restraint. The writing never instructs you how to feel. It trusts the reader to notice patterns, repetitions, and silences. Characters echo one another across stories. A gesture or hesitation returns in a different life, years later. Whether these are the same people or simply the same history repeating itself is left unresolved, much like real life. For many readers, this approach feels familiar in an unexpected way. The book reads less like a history lesson and more like stories about inherited trauma, generational memory, and how large events shape our lives. These dynamics exist in families across the world. This is a book that rewards slow reading. It lingers after you close it, prompting reflection rather than resolution. What the Train Left Behind does not ask you to pick a side or absorb a message. It asks you to pay attention to what history leaves behind when the noise is gone. And in doing so, it makes a distant event feel quietly, unmistakably human.

Secretary of the City The Liz White Diaries (2 book series)

 Two Book Cover Showing Secretary Walking





Book One- Secretary of the City Book Two- Secretary Says

Liz White doesn't hate her job, but she doesn't love it either. Liz, a self-described slacker, is happy being a secretary to the Manhattan billionaire Henry Jones and his entitled, self-absorbed wife Leighton Jones. When Leighton once again pushes boundaries, this time flying off with an old flame on his private plane only to have it crash, Liz becomes a party to the coverup. From Henry to the governor's mansion to the NYC media, it's a game of cat and mouse as the lives they once knew begin to crumble around them. For Liz, that could mean unemployment. For Leighton and Henry, the consequences could lead to a lifetime of embarrassments. "Secretary of the City" is an ambitious, fast-paced, light-hearted look at the very rich and the very famous.

If you’re dealing with constant tension, overthinking, burnout, shallow breathing, poor sleep, or low energy, your body may be stuck in a state of chronic stress. This book shows you how to reset that pattern using 
somatic exercises for men that calm the nervous system quickly and safely.

Unlike traditional self-help or mindfulness books, this guide focuses on 
nervous system regulationbreathwork for men, and simple physical practices that create immediate physiological change—often in just minutes.

🔥 Inside, you’ll learn how to:

• Improve focus, emotional control, and mental clarity

Why Somatic Exercises Work
