Ever hankered for a diet book by and for real people--people
who, you know, actually have a life? Congratulations: you've
just picked it up.
Before we began our diet, Neris and I weighted 434 pounds
between us. Our goal was to lose 140 pounds between us in
under a year, to go from a size 22 to a size 14. And we did
it. If two unusually greedy, cocktail-loving moms can lose
this amount of weight without much effort, so can anyone.
This book tells you how two friends did it, and how you can
do it too. It's not a diet devised by some bossy string bean
who has never been more than 7 pounds overweight, nor by a
fat middle-aged doctor, but a real, long-term, workable diet
for real people. A modified and therefore bearable low-carb,
high-protein way of eating, the diet really works and
includes meal plans, recipes, advice on clothes, make-up and
hair at every stage from fat to thin. It doesn't include
impossible exercise routines or disgusting things to eat.
Above all, it gets to the bottom of why we overeat--and
shows you how to stop. There's never been a diet book like
it--for women, by women, with jokes and useful tips, and
advice that is truly simple to follow. What other diet book
tells you to pour yourself a large drink at the end of the
day, because you've earned it?
