Brief Summary of Book: The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O’Farrell ![]() ![]() ![]() It's not just what you eat but when you eat it that is the missing factor in most eating plans designed to balance your hormones and help with weight loss.Īlisa Vitti is a women's hormone and functional nutrition expert and pioneer in female biohacking. Trust me: I’ve lost 60 pounds twice in my life, once in my early 20s after healing my polycystic ovary syndrome, and again after giving birth to my baby daughter.īut the most important change I made to lose weight and balance my hormones was to start eating specific foods to help support the hormones at each phase of my cycle. This will begin to transform your relationship to food. The first step in healing hormones with food-and losing weight as a wonderful side effect!-is redefining the word "diet" to mean the things you can eat each day to nourish your body instead of the things you can’t. And these diets are a trainwreck for hormones. ![]() Cutting calories can trigger weight loss in the short term, but studies show that the weight almost always comes back on. The first thing to know about restricted-calorie diets is that they don’t necessarily work for weight loss or for hormonal harmony. That's because many "diets" involve restricting calories and/or adding in a torturous workout regimen. I get it-the thought of saying goodbye to a favorite food (or foods) is scary, and "diet" has become a four-letter word for most people. When clients first come to me for hormonal healing, they're often intimidated by the idea of changing their diets. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But one night, after a big winter vodka party at the Trouvenskoys (with Allan and Greg in attendance), the diamond is found missing from the safe in the library: ""the past stolen from them, one final time,"" with the shock bringing on Alexei's soon-fatal heart attack. ![]() Circa 1950 Alexei and Naida-who immediately fascinate Allan-live in a run-down mansion by railroad tracks near the Hudson they're as Americanized as possible Alexei tries to make a living with stilted historical novels despite virtual poverty, they've held onto one piece of the past that's an insurance policy for the future-a royal diamond worth $100,000. (Virtually every Wilder work is given an obvious fictional parallel Reeves delivers mini-lectures on writing, with references to his friends ""Gertrude,"" ""Bunny,"" et al.) Considerably more interesting, however, is what Allan recalls of his handsome college roommate Greg Trouvenskoy-the son of Russian ÉmigrÉs Alexei and Princess Naida, a cousin of the deposed Czar Nicholas. Nearly half of this reminiscing is a rather fulsome tribute to the fledgling writer's mentor back then: world-famous novelist/playwright Reeves Lock, hart, who is modeled, with laborious transparency, on Thornton Wilder. ![]() Allan Prieston, one of Knowles' most passive alter-egos, is a Knowles-like novelist who returns to Yale in 1980 to give a lecture-and spends most of his time there recalling the events of his undergraduate days in the early Fifties. ![]() ![]() He still faces daily discrimination by classmates who claim to be “colorblind.” He still feels like he doesn’t belong in either of his separate worlds as he attempts to straddle both - he knows he’s seen as a “sellout” to his childhood friends and neighbors and as “the token black kid” and affirmative action beneficiary in the eyes of his mostly white classmates. ![]() If true integration by King’s own definition is “inter-group and interpersonal living,” Justyce can’t help but wonder why more people in school don’t look like him. ![]() Justyce is particularly compelled by King’s definition of integration, which throughout the book, he comes to understand as more than just the elimination of segregation.

All Naomi does is whine and complain all the way to Bethlehem. Her parents want her to return home to be with them. In the beginning, when Ruth's husband Mahlon is ill but still alive, Ms. What I didn't get is why Ruth would want to accompany her mother-in-law to a foreign land when all she did was complain. I get that she's bitter and sad because of the death of her husband and two sons. The first thing I had a hard time with was Naomi's reaction during the first part of the book. But in Bathsheeba's story it made sense and was believable to me. ![]() She did the same thing in Bathsheeba's story. ![]() Rivers will have to add things to the plot. I realize this is historical fiction and that the book of Ruth is only about five pages. What I didn't like: The additions she made to the story didn't fit my image of Ruth or Boaz. Anytime an author can make me care and feel for their characters, I'm happy. She pulls you into the story and before long you are invested in the characters and their outcomes. What I liked: Francine Rivers is a great writer. While it was for the most part an entertaining read, some of the plot was too implausible for me. I decided to try another novella in the series-Ruth.
