I Can Make You HOT!
The Supermodel Diet
By Kelly Bensimon
Hello everybody!
Recently I was given the opportunity to interview the star of one of my favorite Bravo shows-- the Real Housewives of New York’s Kelly Bensimon! How excited am I today? (Very, very if you know me at all!)
Kelly is author of several books and today I am offering a giveaway of her latest work—I Can Make You HOT! The Supermodel Diet.
Kelly took time out from her busy book tour to answer a few questions:
- What is your favorite exercise?
My favorite exercise is running.
- Your book features several recipes that look really yummy. Which is your favorite and why?
My favorite recipe is the watermelon salad because it's vinegar on watermelon and that is unbelievable. I also love the supermodel salad dressing because now I can eat salad dressing, too.
- You give lots of tips on what NOT to do to lose weight but what is best tip for what you SHOULD do?
Drink water. 8 glasses of water a day. Even if you maintain the way you eat, if you drink 8 glasses of water a day you'll lose weight.
- Were you always good at managing your time or did having kids make you a more organized person?
Having kids made me a better version of me. Time away from my kids is really important.
made me a better version of me. Because the time away from my kids is important.
- What was the biggest challenge in writing this book versus your previous titles?
Being open to criticism. This is me opening myself open to all of the mistakes that I made.
- Are you working on any other TV plans for the future?
Yes, We’re pitching "I Can Make You Hot" as a television show right now.
From the publishers of I Can Make You HOT! The Supermodel Diet:
I CAN MAKE YOU HOT! The Supermodel Diet (St. Martin’s Press, April 24, 2012) is an easy-to-follow and highly effective primer that breaks down the sum of Kelly’s knowledge and experience, providing energizing health tips and a delicious eating plan to promote optimum nutrition and all-around good fitness – or, as she puts it, “eating well, sleeping well, feeling good and having fun.” The plan is uncomplicated and accessible, and aims to show women of all ages how they can maintain a sexy, lean, strong, but realistic (read: HOT), body by following a few key steps (culled from both Kelly’s own experiences and through experts she consulted for the book).
During her years as a model and onscreen personality, Kelly has been through the wringer of extreme eating habits, whether it was starving herself as a model or overindulging on all sorts of bad stuff during her years as a party girl on the New York scene. I CAN MAKE YOU HOT steers readers away from these types of extremes, and focuses on tailoring proper nutrition and fitness activities around any lifestyle – whether that means a harried professional life or an active social calendar involving lots of late nights out on the town. In fact, there are only three basic rules in Kelly’s plan, but they are iron-clad:
- Exercise every day. No excuses
- Make healthy food choices and eat well six days a week.
- Make Sunday your “funday” and eat whatever you want. If you’ve been following steps 1 and 2, your body can definitely handle a day of freedom.
Around those three rules, Kelly constructs a 7-day plan that readers can use as a weekly guide to manage their diets and keep themselves on the path to good health. In addition to the 7-day plan, Kelly also teaches readers how to train themselves NOT to skip meals (a major problem for those used to crash dieting and other extreme means of weight loss), offers some ingenious fashion tips to help accentuate a newly hot body and provides nearly 60 healthy, fun and delicious recipes that will help jumpstart the process to a newer, better, hotter self.
