Slim Calm Sexy Diet: 365 Proven Food Strategies for Mind/Body Bliss [Paperback]

Keri Glassman (Author), Sarah Mahoney (Author)

Book Description

Release date: March 27, 2012

In this second installment of the Slim Calm Sexy series from Women’s Health, nutrition expert Keri
Glassman empowers readers to take control of their forks and focus on a revolutionary new way of eating— one that will help them lose weight, conquer stress, and look and feel their best every day. Using cutting-edge research that shows how certain foods work in tandem with the body’s natural systems, the author demonstrates how our traditional way of eating promotes fat and stress, and explains the simple tweaks that can turn “fat, frazzled, and frumpy” into “slim, calm, and sexy.”

 

Featuring indulgent recipes like Raspberry & Ricotta French Toast and Bison-Stuffed Red Pepper,
satisfying Slim Snacks, and supercharged Slim Smoothies, this diet plan isn’t about counting calories
or deprivation—it’s about eating more of the right foods. The Slim Calm Sexy Diet is so effective because it not only tells you what to eat, it tells you when to eat—eliminating the stress that leads to hunger and overeating. The diet also includes a comprehensive fitness plan that combines supercharged cardio, calorie-burning strength training, and energy-boosting yoga (that also tones and lengthens). The result is a sleek, sexy shape, smooth skin, a happier mood, and a more satisfying sex life.

 

Packed with easy-to-prepare recipes, hundreds of helpful tips, and weekly workout plans, this is the
ultimate guide to mind/body bliss.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Bible April 18, 2012

By Kirsten

Format:Paperback

SCS was essentially my bible through my journey into healthier eating. I love the fact that it was so easy to navigate, with all sorts of recipes, and swaps, and even grocery lists that were broken down into categories making shopping simple and rather quick which was greatly appreciated. I am a self described nerd, and I couldn't get enough of all the information behind foods that educated me on all they have to offer, both good and bad making it that much easier to make healthier decisions through out this process. The glossary pages are pretty much worn thin practically to the point of transparency due to my frequent use. Something I feel like we all struggle with when it comes to eating is the constant "self loathing" in a way after we cave and reach for that cupcake or that extra slice of pizza that we feel is sooooo necessary at the moment. After caving we are so distraught at the fact that we did that, and we beat ourselves up for the rest of the day, which is just useless and negative and quiet frankly terrible for ones mental health! I am a true believer in the "power of perspective" and Keri helped me achieve the ability to look at food in a different way, focusing on the positive and looking at what the food can do for me, rather than what I cant have. There is also this level of understanding and empathy for the day to day struggles we all face with food adversity, that I never get when reading other "dieting" books. Most of the time, they come off as judgmental, and preachy, filled with all these random things that you MUST HAVE and need to scour across the globe to obtain, as well as taking out a second mortgage on your house or the promise of your first born to purchase. There is always mention of what you need to have, but they really don't go into why you need them. This is the solid and clear difference from SCS- I am stronger willed when picking my food because I am armed with knowledge. Ignorance is most certainly not bliss when it comes to food. Being aware is what can make or break your level of success when trying to make a full fledged change in the way we eat, what we choose to do for activities, and our all around health.

5.0 out of 5 stars It works!! March 28, 2012

By tmdbk

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I was a client of Keri's a few years back and was so amazed with the results I got when working with her. I managed to lose 15 in 8 weeks! As mentioned, it's been a few years since I've worked with her personally and I have managed to put all the weight (and then some) back on. I have tried many diets and workout plans since working with her, and what I realize now in reading her book is that it really is stress related. In the past, I attributed my weight gain to poor diet and lack of exercise, and while that is also a part of it I've also come to realize that the last year has been extremely stressful and that stress is taken a toll on me.

I was so excited to hear about her new book that I immediately purchased it and am ready to take back control. Thank you Keri for being such a positive, motivating and inspirational person!
