Urban Skinny : Live the Fabulous Life--And Still Zip Up Your Favorite Jeans
Overview
A roadmap for hip city-dwellers to lose weight and look great--without giving up their lifestyles How can you stick to your diet in a 24-hour-a-day, high-voltage city? Many turn to one of America's most sought-after dieticians, Danielle Schupp, who has long counseled her A-list clients into their skinny jeans. Now, with Urban Skinny, she puts the same tools into the hands of anyone, anywhere, who lives a life on the go. The science behind her plan is simple: calories in, calories out. But it's the strategy that makes it happen--and that's what this book is all about. Schupp explains how to budget calories like budgeting money, with a savings account for the occasional splurge on truffle fries or Bordeaux. With Urban Skinny, she helps readers fit their diets into their lives, not vice-versa. * Urban Myth: Fat makes you fat.
Urban Skinny: Fat, fortunately, is great. It actually helps you lose
weight because it makes meals more satisfying and keeps you full longer.
Include a little fat in every meal. A tablespoon of olive oil or a tablespoon
of peanut butter is only about 100 calories. Why eat dry toast or salad
with just vinegar if you don't have to? * Urban Skinny Rules--Learn 'em, Live 'em! - Breakfast is NON-NEGOTIABLE. Eat it every day--no excuses.
- Order salad dressing on the side forever more. Always.
- Smaller portions make smaller people.
- Enjoy dips, hummus, or fondue--but dip, don't dunk.
- Sip, don't slug, your alcohol.
- Don't drink your calories--wouldn't you rather eat an apple than drink juice?
- If you have wine with dinner, skip the bread, rice, or other starch.
- Get friendly with nonstick spray if you happen to catch yourself cooking at
home--always use it.
- Be consistent, not perfect.
- Get your butt off the couch and exercise.
