Skinny Chicks Don’t Eat Salads: Stop Starving, Start Eating and Losing
User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Maybe not for everyone
The nutritional advice in this book is very sound. Maintaining blood sugar throughout the day is key to curbing cravings and mood swings. Being able to “indulge” in good carbs is a blessing in itself! However, beware that those 4-5 recommeded “meals” per day can be no more than 400 calories each, and always a near exact PC combo. While the eating plan in this book claims not to be a “diet,” but a way of life instead, I find eating fat-free dairy products, egg whites, and plain yogurt pretty much “diet” fare. Also be prepared to exercise 45-60 minutes per day, too, on Christine’s plan. I do appreciate the PC combo ideas and recipes in this book though - so far they’ve been tasty and satiating. Still, after a week of sticking with this plan, I’ve not lost an ounce of weight.
5 Stars If you want results - this is a must read!
I cannot recommend this book enough! If you want to feel great, have lots of energy, clarity and focus, lose body fat, lose excess weight and finally make eating a life-style instead of another dreaded “diet” - this is the book for you!!! I had the amazing opportunity to work one-on-one with Ms. Avanti as one of her nutrition clients and it literally changed the way I looked at food and the way I was eating.
I was a long-time sufferer of very frequent headaches and although in pretty good shape, I wanted to drop some body fat. My very first meeting with Christine was so eye-opening that I still remember it to this day. She explained to me that my headaches were caused by my erratic blood sugar levels throughout the day - spiking when I ate only carbs at a sitting (with no protein or fat) and plunging after waiting too long to eat again.
I followed the program (which very quickly becomes a very easy way of life) and in no time, my headaches ceased, I lost excess weight and body fat and felt amazing!
It’s so simple - if you want to loose excess weight, feel great and have tons more energy - just buy this book. You will not be disappointed!!!
5 Stars THIS BOOK WILL CHANGE THE WAY YOU EAT FOREVER!
I am still in shock at how incredible this book is. Christine takes a lifetime of nutritional education and breaks it down into a few, life-changing concepts that will permanently alter the way you look at food. This book is incredibly engaging & interesting. It feels as I was sitting down 1-on-1 with the top nutritionist in the country, as the author validated everything that ever worked for me, and explained why the ineffective techniques failed. All of a sudden everything made sense. I would recommend this book to anybody and everybody, as it will make you look better and feel better immediately.
4 Stars Similar to Body For Life
I like the book and I find Christine very likeable as well. I appreciate the fact that she is a nutritonist who had a weight problem and not some always skinny celebrity promoting a self help book. I have not tried her recipes yet but her approach to nutrtion is right on! However, if you have read or follow the Body For Life way of eating, this is the same program (only given by a nutrionist/woman’s point of view). I completely agree that eating this way keeps bingeing at bay because you are satisfied. It is the way we should all be eating (most of time). However, calories do count (which Christine states). You will feel at your best following her (or Bill Phillip’s Body For Life) advice. Your body will thank you and you Undoubtedly, will look better and feel better.
5 Stars This is the book to go beyond ever having to “diet” again. A Winner!
The information in this book has literally changed my life… After trying unsuccessfully to lose any weight for three years, and not understanding why, Christine has unlocked the mystery. Christine explains how our body reacts to the food that we eat, unlocking the puzzle for me, once and for all. I have lost eleven lbs in three weeks. My glucose and liver enzyme levels have come down significantly. I have energy like I did when I was many years younger (my age is 66). For the first time in four years, I greet the morning with energy, rather than dragging myself out of bed. Energy, weight loss, and NEVER hungry, not ever, what more could one want. With the knowledge that Christine shares in Skinny Chicks Don`t Eat Salad, you have an easy to follow nutritional plan for a lifetime. I will never have to fight the scale, ever again. Thank you Christine for writing this book!
