The World's Best-Kept Diet Secrets - Softcover

Cameron Diaz helps keep her 5'9", 120-pound figure by eating chicken for breakfast. Models take kelp tablets to speed up their metabolisms. An hour of hot and heavy lovemaking can burn up as many calories as 40 minutes on a treadmill. The World's Best-Kept Diet Secrets has 300 pages of fascinating facts like these. Written by a model who deftly separates dieting myths (the "negative-calorie" status of celery) from the real interesting tidbits (combining garlic and papaya tablets makes for a powerful diuretic), this book's perfect for anyone confused by the muddle of diet information in magazines. It's especially designed for anyone just starting on a weight-loss plan in need of inspiration and guidance and anyone whose weight constantly yo-yos.
