Naturally Thin by Bethenny Frankel
14 Aug
Lately I’ve been watching Bethenny Frankel’s show Bethenny Getting Married. I’m sad that the show is done for the season because Bethenny is hilarious and I can’t help but look at her and admire the woman. Did you see the show? She showed a fair amount of skin during the season and even pregnant, her body was amazing… was it not?
It made me wonder about what she eats and how she exercises. That led me to pick up Naturally Thin. I’m only a few pages in so far but from what I have read on Twitter that it’s a good book; it is easy to read, very informative and teaches you things you thought you knew but really didn’t. Bethenny even re-tweeted about someone losing 184lbs using her method… can you call it a method, I don’t know.
Have you read the book? What do you think? I’m thinking about picking up her other book and DVD too.
I have mixed feelings. I admire her professionally and think she’s totally my brand of woman. But, I DO feel like a lot of what she’s telling people is kind of obvious. She says, “Use what you have” a lot, which doesn’t help when someone might have butter instead of olive oil. Also manybof her tweets and food recs are SO not low cal. It confuses me. I’m all about balance, but I think as her title implies, SHE is naturally thin and naturally a wee person. It’s hard to take that seriously in terms of weight loss.
Agesshes not a dietician, not a trainer and aside from pregnancy, never been fat (that I’m aware of). So… Idont know. I should get her book. I can’t help but like her which is her greatest marketing strength.
