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 loseweight 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 tablespoonof peanut butter is only about 100 calories. Why eat dry toast or saladwith 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 athome—always use it.• Be consistent, not perfect.• Get your butt off the couch and exercise.
