My ReviewThere are numerous books out there on the market telling us women how to diet, exercise, eat properly and keep stress out of our lives. Skinny is Overrated, on the other hand is not a 'diet' manual. The author explains about the right foods to eat and dispells some ideas that we have all been taught that may not necessarily be correct. Like eating tuna packed in water. We should actually eat tuna packed in the oils because it is a good source of Omega 3's. We should also eliminate all fast foods, sugars, certain fats and instead we should be eating fish at least three times a week and eat lots of fruits and veggies. The key to any good 'diet' is learning portion control, getting off the couch and exercise. The author explains about fats, the good, bad and trans fats and tells us about saturated, polyunsaturated and monosaturated oils and fats. We need to set goals for ourselves and we should eat three meals a day along with 2 snacks. Oatmeal, cinnamon, beans, barley and brown rice are all good foods for us to eat.
Some of the tips that are in this book are:
Eat veggies especially the leafy green kinds.
Stop drinking soda's, even diet ones, juice, iced teas or any sweetened drinks.
Do not skip meals and do not go hungry.
Eat less starches.
Dr. Milano also explains in the book how to shop and how to set up your kitchen and pantry, and finally the last part of the book has recipes.
I found this book to be educational and I may just try some of the tips and recipes. I did learn a few things and found the book to be useful.
I received this review book from Phenix&Phenix Literary Publicists and was not monetarily compensated for my review.
