Le diete non funzionano e mai funzioneranno, questa è la verità. Allora, dice Mimi Spencer, godiamoci il buon cibo in santa pace, cerchiamo di scegliere quello giusto, mangiamo come dio comanda, con tanto di posate, a tavola, gustandoci ogni boccone. Avere qualche chilo in più non è la fine del mondo. O comunque non è quello il problema. Il problema è che non funziona qualcosa nelle nostre relazioni interpersonali, nei criteri con cui scegliamo cosa comprare al supermercato, nel nostro rapporto con coltello e forchetta. In breve, nel nostro modo di vita. A volte ci si infila in un modello culturale che finisce per starci stretto e fare le grinze come un abito di due taglie in meno. Un modello che parcellizza e sgretola ogni attimo della quotidianità. E che porta a spizzicare più che a mangiare e a desiderare altro da ciò che siamo. Ma è lecito sentirsi grassi e mettersi a dieta? O forse – se in effetti ci sono dei chili di troppo e non ci si sente a proprio agio – è arrivato il momento di riorganizzare la propria vita e pensare a un restyling? Le scorciatoie e i trucchi di Mimi Spencer vanno in quest’ultima direzione. Il messaggio è chiaro: smetterla di considerare il cibo un nemico. Ovviamente – va da sé – con il sorriso sulle labbra.

In this day and age, most women are well aware that dieting (and the accompanying deprivation) is no way to lose weight.

With ample doses of empathy and irreverence, Spencer offers readers 101 figure-flattering tips, from choosing the right fashion to just saying no to fat traps and calorie pitfalls. Spencer''s candid advice (drawn from years spent at the frontlines of fashion) and her uniquely relatable voice (drawn from decades of being a woman on a diet) will keep readers entertained as they knock off a few pounds and learn how to love the skin they''re in.
