Lite'n Up - Laugh Yourself Skinny: Laugh Yourself Skinny
Autor Samara Q. Kleinen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mai 2011
Dieting shouldn’t be so serious and humorless! Being obsessed with losing weight is a sure prescription for disaster. This fresh new book from artist and dieting realist Samara Q. Klein allows you to have fun while maintaining resolve. No matter what diet plan you follow, at some point you will find yourself at that dangerous place where you are being tested: No bread for another eleven days!?! How many points are eight pieces of sushi!?! That’s where the sassy humor of Lite’N Up! steps in to provide just the right adage: “Today is the first day of the rest of your hips.”
From observations about popular diets (“It’s a bit confusing but true: to have a French woman’s body, you must not eat French toast, French bread, or French fries”) to religious observations (“The Eleventh Commandment: Thou shall not weigh more than thy refrigerator”), Lite’N Up! is your best diet coach in a book.

Textul de pe ultima copertă
Laugh Yourself Skinny You're just about to ruin your diet by eating a slice of cake (which will only lead to eating another slice of cake) when you call up your reminder: When told that people were hungry with no bread to eat, Marie Antoinette famously said, "Let them eat cake!" Historians now agree that Ms. Antoinette was a horribly vain woman who wanted everyone else to be heavier than she was. A kinder, gentler Marie Antoinette would have said, "Let them eat high fiber crackers!" It makes you smile. Suddenly, cake seems ridiculous...and high fiber crackers sound delish (okay, maybe that's stretching it). Read a silly reminder every morning and record your dieting hits and bombs along the way. Laugh. Hearken back to it throughout the day. Laugh some more. Don't eat cake. By the time you finish Laugh Yourself Skinny, you'll be slim- it's so easy, it's not even funny...well, actually, it is pretty funny. Samara Klein lost forty pounds ten years ago and hasn't gained a pound since- mostly because she's so busy being amused. By day, she's a book publishing professional, but she moonlights as a humorist, winning the first ever New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest.
