The Skinny Rules: Start to Get Skinny in Just 24 Hours with These 7 Simple Rules

Let me start off by saying that I'm female, 25 years old and have two young children. I have always had a problem with my weight. I never understood the problem until I read your book and realized it was because I was either over eating the wrong foods or starving my body. I started your lifestyle (I say lifestyle because diets come and go and are fads, this is a way of life for me now) 2 weeks ago. I'm 5 ft 9 inches and usually weigh anywhere from 240 to 220 pounds. The day I started I weighed myself and weighed 221 pounds and two weeks and one day later I weighed 205 pounds! I don't weigh every day because I understand that daily weights are going to differ. I have gotten several complements from co-workers and my own mother as to how much better I'm starting to look. I have energy now and don't feel drained at 6 pm every night. I can keep up with my kids who are 3 and 4 1/2. I'm not doing this for myself but for my two girls. I want to be healthy for them and have them not embarrased of me when they start school. I just wanted to say thank you so much. You have changed my life in such a way that you will never totally understand. I tell everyone about you and your website now. Thank you.

I have bought just about every diet book available and they all take pages and pages to basically tell you just one thing--its either eat low fat--or eat high protein--or eat special oils--whatever. But this little book, which is a companion to Edita Kaye's really wonderful, The Skinny Pill, gives you fast, simple rules to follow. She manages to condense wisdom, common sense, an eating plan that you can follow at home and at work, and on the road and cram it all into a small, portable book. But that's not all. She has some wonderful inspirational stories....my personal favorite is "Having Dinner With Your Angel" I bought this book for myself, because I don't have a lot of time to read, and I ended up buying copies for my family and friends.

The following is a review we received from Margaret Lane of The Midwest Book Review:A disclaimer in Edita's Skinny Rules warns that its information is not a substitute for the services of a physician in devising a personal weight loss and fitness plan for a better, healthier life. With that caution firmly in mind, Edita's Skinny Rules is a wonderful supplement to professional guidance and filled cover to cover with tips, tricks, and techniques to putting one's psychology to work eating lighter and better and craving less, avoiding the impulse to eat out of boredom or appetite rather than real hunger, and dispensing myths about obesity. Accessibly written for the non-specialist general readers of all weights and backrounds, Edita's Skinny Rules is an excellent addition to the serious dieter's reference shelf....

I have read dozens and dozens of books on weight loss and dieting over the years. Hundreds if not thousands of pages of advice, information, and how to's, as we probably all have. But not a single one of all those books, made as much sense, gave out as much new research, simplified the whole food-to-fat mystery as Edita's Skinny Rules.First, she explains in a quick, simple way, which everyone can understand, just how food made us fat, and how the same food can make us thin. She boils it all down to a program as simple as telling time. Next, she gives us two quick rules...a morning rule to switch from fat making orange juice to a fat blocking orange, and a bedtime rule to enjoy fat burning peanut butter. She also talks about the importance of supplements. Not only diet or "skinny" supplements, but those critical ones like calcium, for our overall health. Finally, she doesn't neglect the mental and spiritual side of changing our lives around as our bodies gain in slenderness and health. I have been on Edita's program for 30 days and I have lost 30 pounds. Four of my friends have been on her program and have lost between an average of a pound of fat a day. I don't know about anyone else who is trying to lose weight...but for myself, I can say, God bless you Edita you care.

I read about Edita's Skinny Rules in the March 25 2002 issue of FIRST for Women, a magazine I pick up at the grocery store. I read about her food plan...I read her inspirational stories...I read the testimony of a woman who lost 88 pounds on Edita's program. I followed her Skinny Rules for just 8 days, and lost 8 pounds. The Skinny Rules is a fun, fast, easy to follow plan. It's very different. It's very effective. Go ahead. Buy it. You won't be disappointed.
