DIET and NUTRITION
Sexy Women Eat offers seven best kept nutrition secrets that can be very helpful for those trying to lose weight while maintaining their busy lifestyle. Using these tips can be very helpful and go a long way in your progress. The key nutrition tips include:
Forget family-style: Studies show that people eat up to 35 percent less when they are served pre-plated food versus empty plates with a platter of food to serve from
Pop to it: Nutritionists have found that people who eat one cup of microwave popcorn 30 minutes before lunch consumed over 100 fewer calories when they ate
Meaty mushrooms: Research shows that those who ate mushroom based entrees were just as satisfied as when they’d eaten those meals prepared with meat
Incredible edible: Use eggs as a great addition to salads and as portable snacks for protein and amino acids
Slimming salads: Eating a salad before a meal can reduce your overall calorie intake by up to 12 percent
Kick the cravings: Arm yourself against late afternoon cravings with nuts or a piece of fruit to snack on
Wine not: Studies show that people who drank one glass of wine per day had slimmer waistlines than those who drink no alcohol at all
EXERCISE
Sexy Women Eat offers a lot of ways for you to fit exercise into your daily life. Even if you spend most of your time at work, you can constantly burn calories and even get the body you want without stressing about making a trip to the gym. When you are busy you must make some improvisations in order to stay fit. Below are some of the methods Gugnani has used herself to keep her body fit while working 14 to 20 hour days:
Jumping jacks in a bathroom stall
Jogging in place in a bathroom stall
Walking to and from work
Pick up daily groceries on the way home
Wear ankle weights as you walk around the office
Keep dumbbells at your desk and use during conference calls
Body lifts in your office chair
Walk around the company parking lot during lunch
Take the stairs at every opportunity
Do leg lifts in your chair to tone thighs
Walk to a colleague’s desk to deliver a message instead of using email
Use a pedometer to track steps; especially in the winter

Someone gave me this book but I didn't see any new information. I thought it would be a good book with healthy recipes. They talk too much about exercises. The title is misleading.

I recently got this book in the mail and while I agree with Alexis (it's def NOT a diet book), it still has loads of useful information that have been really great in helping me ease into my New Year's Resolution of staying slimmer. I especially love the chapter called "Eating Muffins Gives You Muffin Top"...too funny (and true to boot).

Sexy Women Eat is not a diet- so it should not be on this site at all. But if you look at the book as an anti diet for life than it fits perfectly. The book has everything from the 411 on caffeine, debunking diet myths, exercising in your office, and more. Probably the only truthful book on food out there these days!

I rarely have a free moment to pick up a book but I�??m VERY glad I decided to read Sexy Women Eat on my work commute. It was a quick, hilarious read that proved even I can implement healthy choices into my crazy, always changing schedule. Gugnani includes amazing exercise and nutrition secrets for working women. Best of all, these tips are EASY! I have already tried the quick, nutritious recipes she includes in some of her chapters and now know how to successfully navigate the office party buffet!

Read Sexy Women Eat!! Ever since I was in high school, my life has always been about food. For as long as I can remember my relationship with food has been one of fear. I was constantly questioning what I was putting in my mouth, making meals far from enjoyable. I just read Sexy Women Eat and it reminded me that I should not be ashamed of what I�??m eating. This hilarious and informative book offers amazing tips on how to develop a healthy relationship with food. I finished the book without feeling deprived or limited. I don�??t have to skip dessert! Instead, I felt refreshed knowing that I was on the fast track to a healthy lifestyle.
