As a TV Wardrobe Stylist, I believe a dream pair of jeans can be a great motivator for losing weight and keeping it off. I don’t trust the bathroom scale, but a pair of jeans will never lie. I ought to know. I’ve spent twenty-two years cultivating a way of eating that makes sure my favorite jeans will always fit!

That wasn't always the case. At age nineteen, my jeans were six sizes larger than they are today and I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and put on medication. The lifelong joy and passion I had for fashion was not only in jeopardy – my health was beginning to suffer!

Then I had an epiphany, which you will hear all about in THE DENIM DIET, and created a no-nonsense blueprint for reaching and maintaining your ideal healthy body weight in sixteen easy-to-remember habits to make and habits to break. My habits have worked flawlessly for me for over two decades including effortlessly losing the baby weight after the birth of my two children now nineteen and seventeen.

How awesome would it be to develop sixteen simple habits and lose the excess weight, have more energy, look and feel great, and get into those dream pair of jeans!

But, how is THE DENIM DIET any different from the bazillion diet books on the market? I'm SO happy you asked!

Think of THE DENIM DIET as your personal weight loss coach. A great coach teaches you the basics, the building blocks, and strategies for winning…in this case to win at permanent weight loss and maintenance. That’s what you’ll get when you read THE DENIM DIET…only it’s even easier than that! I’ll teach you simple habits to easily and effortlessly practice and develop so you don’t have to think about how great it would be to lose weight and keep it off; you’ll be living it, one simple habit at a time...while simultaneously lessening the impact you make on the planet! It's all about being lean and green, and of course, getting into your dream pair of jeans!

And I have a confession to make…THE DENIM DIET isn’t a diet book! Shhhhh....don't tell anyone! I know it’s in the title to my book, but I’m not a fan of the word diet. It implies that for a temporary period of time, your lifestyle habits will need to change dramatically in order for you to achieve weight loss. Instead of dictating a diet, I’ll teach you how to replace your old habits with new ones, easily and effortlessly!

Oh and my book is funny! I promise you will laugh out loud (and probably at me, not with me!) as I share my own embarrassing stories. I’ve read many self-help books on a wide array of topics. The ones that have appealed to me the most are those that got up close and personal. Self-help books that only teach and preach bore me silly. I don't appreciate being lectured at or badgered with heavy-handed tactics and overly technical language.

I’ve tried to create a book that’s more intimate, sensible, and understanding. Just like you, I’m a real person. I’m happy to share my own experiences, issues, triumphs, and setbacks. I don’t stop there, though. Oh no; I share other people’s stories as well! With the exception of my sister’s, whom I repeatedly throw under the bus, I don’t divulge any names because I didn’t exactly get anyone’s permission! Some of these stories are humorous, a few are inspirational, others provide living examples of weight-loss success, and one is a dramatic life lesson in what not to do.

You’ll also find a detailed grocery list, a forty-four-page recipe section, my top ten tips for dressing slimmer, and a four-page summary (kind of a cheat sheet) of the sixteen habits to make and habits to break.

I realize that THE DENIM DIET doesn't exactly make a great "gift" book, but I hope you'll tell all your friends about it!
