Naturally Thin: Unleash Your SkinnyGirl And Free Yourself From A Lifetime Of Dieting (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
1. Your diet is a bank account2. You can have it all, just not all at once3. Taste everything, eat nothing4. Pay attention5. Downsize now.6. Cancel your membership in the clean plate club7. Check yourself before you wreck yourself8. K now thyself9. Get real: real food, that is10. Good for youLoved some of the recipes, and that this lifestyle is all about living moderately. I have mixed feelings about this book. First the good: The 10 Rules were very commonsensical and I hope to remember them. Frankel was low-key, low-stress. And the bad: The title. I don't want my granddaughters obsessing about their weight/looks--the media and the world does it way too much! "Skinny, thin, fat" are words that we talk way too much about. Although Frankel says not to be obsessive, she is. I think she has found a platform to make money and be famous. I think she is anorexic at best. Eating little bits of food is ridiculous. Here is an example: "I craved something sweet, so I chose a ramekin of soy ice cream. That wasn't quite enough, so I ate just the frosting off a BethennyBakes (promoting her product) cupcake. Perfect! I didn't need the cupcake part, so instead of worrying about "wasting" it, I threw it away. Enough said.
