Urban Skinny: Live The Fabulous Life--And Still Zip Up Your Favorite Jeans [9780762750795]

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.
