NATIONAL BESTSELLER • An up-close portrait of the mind of an addict and a life unraveled by narcotics—a memoir of captivating urgency and surprising humor that puts a human face on the opioid crisis. “Raw, brutal, and shocking. Move over, Orange Is the New Black.”—Amy Dresner, author of My Fair Junkie When word got outthat Tiffany Jenkins was withdrawing from opiates on the floor of a jail cell, people in her town were shocked. Not because of the twenty felonies she’d committed, or the nature of her crimes, or even that she’d been captain of the high school cheerleading squad just a few years earlier, but because her boyfriend was a Deputy Sherriff, and his friends—their friends—were the ones who’d arrested her. A raw and twisty page-turning memoir that reads like fiction, High Achiever spans Tiffany’s life as an active opioid addict, her 120 days in a Florida jail where every officer despised what she’d done to their brother in blue, and her eventual recovery. With heart-racing urgency and unflinching honesty, Jenkins takes you inside the grips of addiction and the desperate decisions it breeds. She is a born storyteller who lived an incredible story, from blackmail by an ex-boyfriend to a soul-shattering deal with a drug dealer, and her telling brims with suspense and unexpected wit. But the true surprise is her path to recovery. Tiffany breaks through the stigma and silence to offer hope and inspiration to anyone battling the disease—whether it’s a loved one or themselves.

La dieta que todos están comentando Durante años, el cardiólogo Arthur Agatston urgía a sus pacientes a perder peso por el bien de sus corazones, pero las dietas resultaron demasiado difíciles de seguir o muy severas. Algunas eran hasta peligrosas. Aparentemente nadie podía seguir los regímenes bajos en grasa durante mucho tiempo. Y una dieta no sirve para nada si uno no la puede seguir. Por lo tanto, el Agatston inventó su propia dieta. La dieta South Beach no es complicada y tampoco requiere que se pase hambre. Disfrutará porciones normales de carne, aves y pescado. También disfrutará huevos, queso, frutos secos y verduras. Las meriendas (refrigerios, tentempiés) también son de rigor en esta dieta. Aprenderá a evitar los carbohidratos malos como la harina blanca, el azúcar blanca y las papas al horno. Lo mejor de todo es que a medida que adelgace, ¡perderá esa terca grasa abdominal primero! La dieta del Dr. Agatston ha producido resultados que han sido constantemente impactantes (¡un pérdida de entre 8 y 13 libras durante las primeras 2 semanas!) y ha creado un furor en los medios de comunicación del sur de la Florida. Ahora usted también puede unirse a las filas de los que ahora ostentan figuras fabulosas gracias a la dieta South Beach.
