Boomers: Bethenny Frankel & Discovering The Naturally Thin You!

Published by Pat Mullaly under Dieting

Bethenny Frankel, star of The Real Housewives of New York City, celebrity natural food chef, and best-selling author of Naturally Thin, focuses on making healthy food taste great.

How many in midlife have struggled with diets that just don’t work? I still have a suit I bought when I was in my mid twenties. It hangs in my closet as a testimony to the size I once was, and the size I someday hope to be. But no matter the diet I have tried, nothing gets me any closer to my goal. I love all the wrong kinds of foods, and I enjoy a drink in the evening. Impossible obstacles to losing weight.

Bethenny Frankel has an alternative plan. There is a way to eat healthy without having to get deep into the calorie count, the weighing, the points, the cardboard meals that some food plans sell you at inflated prices. Our culture is so overwhelmed with bad food choices it’s hard to see the healthy alternatives without guidance. That’s what this book is all about. It teaches you how to make the right healthy choices and alternatives to unhealthy processed foods.

Recipes include  wonderfully tasteful vegetable dishes, grilled beef tenderloin, classic bolognese lasagna and the infamous Skinnygirl Margarita! <- watch Bethenny’s video!

The book is number 3 on the New York Times Bestseller List! She must be doing something right. Check it out!

Does Delicious Cake Tempt You to Diet-Destruction?

Published by Pat Mullaly under Dieting

When her 15 year old son celebrated his birthday, Laura of RARAwithLaura.com had a major diet crisis! Has this ever happened to you?

. . . . .

“My son’s 15th birthday was yesterday.  He is at school, the hubby is  at work and I am working from home.  At 10:22 a.m today I started   eating birthday cake.  I forgot that it was there and when I opened   the refrigerator it spoke to me saying things like ” you know you   need me, want me and nobody is here except you”.  “Just have a   sliver and by the way leave the knife in here with me in case you   want to sliver all day”. I am thinking about putting the cake out   on the deck hence I bet that is how the song “McAurthur’s Park” [sic] came about!   Someone left my cake out in the rain!!!!  The best   thing that could happen for my hips right about now is that my cake   is left out in the rain and I can no longer consume it!  I want to   throw it out but my son will come home from school and ask where is   my cake?

I am going to go to the prayer chair and pray for guidance and self control!  Yes, you heard me right I am now praying about not eating all that cake!”

A note from the editor: Dieting can be a terrible bore. Even “Skinny Cow” deserts don’t cut it with me anymore. Best advice – enjoy the cake when you have it, just keep that single slice to a SINGLE slice. It’s all about portion control. So let go of the guilts and enjoy your dessert! ~ P. Mullaly
