Skinny Chicks Don't Eat Salads

Plot

Packed with real-world advice for a real-life transformation, Skinny Chicks Don't Eat Salads shows that it’s not only possible to shed weight while eating carbs, fats, and all your favorite foods—it’s the ONLY way.Every year millions of smart, sophisticated women embark on that great American ritual: dieting. For many, this means starving themselves throughout the day with the promise of only a lunchtime salad to sustain them. Come nighttime, though, the refrigerator starts calling, and eventually even the most resolute women find themselves bingeing uncontrollably on ice cream, cookies—anything loaded with the very carbs they avoided all day. The next day brings guilt, shame, vows to eat less, and ultimately more bingeing.What’s going on here?Nutritionist Christine Avanti, a former fitness model who struggled with weight issues for years, knows firsthand the emotional roller coaster of guilt, low self-esteem, and hopelessness that accompany these failed attempts at weight loss. Not until she became a nutritionist did she discover that eliminating carbs (or anything else for that matter) isn’t the answer—eating them more often and in the proper balance with other nutrients is the true secret to sustainable weight loss.The results? Transformational... for Christine and for thousands of her clients who’ve learned that when your blood sugar stays on a consistent, even level throughout the day, the urge to indulge in fatty, salty, sugary snacks magically vanishes along with the omnipresent feelings of failure all too familiar to dieters. So Skinny Chicks can eat four full meals a day, stay satisfied, and still lose up to 7 pounds in a single week!Nothing is off limits on the Skinny Chicks easy-to-follow meal plans, from steak to pasta to yummy desserts and real stick-to-your-ribs breakfasts. Best of all, Christine’s scientifically based program ends the cycle of starving, bingeing, and recrimination that plagues so many women, adding guilt and depression to their ongoing battles with weight control.
