3 Fat Chicks on a Diet: Because We're All in It Together
Author: Suzanne Barnett
Filled with the sassy attitude and sage advice of three lovable sisters from the South who have been fighting the battle of the bulge for most of their lives, 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet tells everyone who has ever wanted to lose a few pounds how to find dieting success. Because every dieter will try most of the popular diets at some point in a weight-loss struggle, the sisters give you the real scoop—as well as anecdotes and wisdom from scores of their online community of women—on the favorites, from South Beach to the Mediterranean Diet, Atkins to the Zone, and celebrity-driven weight-loss programs to Ediets.
You’ll get so much more than just coffee-klatch gossip:
* The pros and cons of each diet
* Guilt-free ways to snack and still stay with the program
* Straight talk for making the diets work for every meal of the day
* Menu suggestions when dining out
* Delicious recipes to try at home
* And much more!
Best of all, the book offers a fool-proof support system of love and encouragement from women just like you who are trying to win the war with their waistlines.
Just when you think you’re bogged down by calorie counting, the 3 Fat Chicks diet community takes you on a humorous romp through their battles with everything from slimming slippers and fat-away soap to cabbage soup and grapefruit diets. Get the real-world facts that you need to embark on your personal journey to change your weight and your life.
“My weakness has always been food and men—in that order.” –Dolly Parton
“My doctor told me to stop having intimate dinners for four unless there are three otherpeople.” –Orson Welles
“I have gained the same ten pounds so many times over and over again, my cellulite must have déjà vu.” –Jane Wagner
On their lifelong quest to lose weight, Suzanne, Jennifer and Amy Barnett, three delightful sisters from Tennessee, have tried every popular diet. They’ve busted sugar, cut carbs, flushed fat, counted calories, and gorged on grapefruit. They kept hitting roadblocks on the road to skinny until they realized that what they needed didn’t come in a magic pill but in one another.
They started 3fatchicks.com as a way to track their weight-loss progress and found a community of dieters who were also at war with their waistlines and ready to support and encourage them every step of the way. Join the ride as Suzanne, Jennifer and Amy gather up chicks from around the world—from stay-at-home moms to biker-chicks, to sweet-sixteens to high-powered executives—to share their ups and downs of dieting. Here’s what some of them had to say:
From the bedroom:
“Has anyone else noticed a low-carb sex surge? Since I started on Atkins two months ago, my sex drive has gone through the roof, and I have much stronger orgasms!” –Lustful in Louisiana
From the bank:
”If I continue with the LA Weight Loss Plan, I’m going to have to tap into my kids’ college fund to pay for the LA Lites bars! Are there any cheaper options?” –Gina Going for Broke
From the gym:
“I’m on the Total Body Makeover plan, but the word aerobics gives me traumatic flashbacks to the 80s, and I get visions of pink tights and frantic dance movements in time to the soundtrack of Footloose. Can I lose weight without relieving these unpleasant memories?” –Not so Jane Fonda
