How to Eat Like a Hot Chick
From LoveToKnow Diet
How to Eat Like a Hot Chick is not a book about maintaining a strict diet and exercise routine; rather the light read describes a mindset many women share about being heavy.
If you are fed up with thinking you are going to become fat and undesirable every time you indulge in a chip, cookie or piece of candy, then this bestseller may be just what you need to boost your self-esteem.
Book Summary
How to Eat Like a Hot Chick is a book that promotes healthy living. It does not contain a litany of medical studies detailing weight loss products and supplements. Instead, it provides tips on how women should embrace a healthy attitude about their sexuality and body type. The book combines humor with a best friend-like tone to inspire and motivate female readers to love the skin they’re in and let their inner “hot chick” shine through.
The Authors
Jodi Lipper and Cerina Vincent are the “hot chicks” behind the book of the same name. They met in a gym more than a decade ago and became fast friends who shared a fear of food. In an interview promoting their literary guide, the ladies revealed that they once suffered from poor self-image and obsessed about every calorie they consumed. However after extensive self-reflection, they say they realized their problem had less to do with how much chocolate they consumed and more to do with a serious lack of self-confidence.
Lipper and Vincent describe their bestseller as a book that “celebrates all that is good about being a woman.” In How to Eat Like a Hot Chick: Eat What You Love, Love How You Feel, the authors provide tips on how to eat sensibly and avoid letting bad food choices dominate your life.
It’s important to note that Lipper and Vincent are not weight loss experts; rather they are copywriters for television and movies. The book is written in a non-judgmental tone with large doses of sassiness and has been warmly embraced by women the world over.
Pros and Cons of How to Eat Like a Hot Chick
The book’s authors maintain that their guide is structured to teach women what to eat to make them feel better, not necessarily look better. But, that’s just one of the pros and cons of Hot Chicks:
Pros
The book is straightforward and funny and does offer practical food tips. For example, Hot Chicks does an excellent job of addressing the often-overlooked subject of cocktail consumption. The authors also provide useful strategies for moderation and planning your intake of calories before social situations, including eating healthy food items at home so you don’t fall victim to the fat-laden dill dip being offered by your party’s host.
Some of the tips are a bit questionable such as the one that suggests you should have chocolate cake for breakfast, which satisfies a sweet tooth, but more effectively, gives you all day to burn it off. Still, the purpose of the book remains clear throughout: End the vicious dieting circle and learn to celebrate what’s on your plate, which will increase satiety, and lead to an overall reduction in calories.
Cons
The authors have no medical background. Therefore any dieting advice they offer is purely based on their own opinions. In addition, Hot Chicks offers very little in the way of fitness tips. The authors say they plan to expand their book line to include an exercise program, though a release date has not been set.
Another point some readers have taken issue with is the abundance of cursing throughout the book. Hot Chicks uses the “F” word quite liberally and the overall language in the book may be offensive to some.
Finally, the authors’ definition of a “hot chick” may differ from your own. Lipper and Vincent don’t define a “hot chick” as someone with runway model looks. Rather, they are referring to cool, confident women who ooze sex appeal regardless of how much they weigh. In the authors’ eyes the ultimate “hot chick” never apologizes for how she looks or what she eats.
How to Get the Book
You can get the paperback version of Hot Chick in most major bookstores and through Amazon for less than $15. The book is also available on the authors’ website, which offers links to testimonials and other products that “hot chicks” might enjoy.
