INTRODUCTION: WELCOME TO SKINNY EATING   Have you ever read about some celebrity’s dramatic weight loss and thought how much easier dropping pounds would be if you had the support of a personal chef like so many famous people do? Ever imagined the ease of having someone tell you exactly what to put in your mouth, and when (not to mention shopping and preparing all your food each day)?   Well, unless you go hire yourself a live-in chef (cha-ching) or buy a subscription to a frozen-meal delivery service (bland, yuck), this book is as close as you can get to that experience. I’ll be your kitchen wizard and motivator, giving you one hundred amazing options for meals that are easy to cook and deliciously satisfying—and that will promote fast weight loss. I’ve made recommendations so you can easily put meals together for a month’s worth of menus, and I’ve even given you week-by-week shopping lists—order from one of those popular grocery delivery services and you won’t even have to do the shopping yourself! Don’t you feel like a celebrity already?   More good news: every Skinny Meals recipe adheres to the nonnegotiable rules for getting to thin that I set out in my book The Skinny Rules. This means that each is rules-abiding in terms of what should go into every meal, and what amounts and kinds of ingredients (protein, carbs, fiber, sodium, etc.), and when. When you eat exclusively from the recipes in this book (or combine them with recipes from The Skinny Rules to give yourself the most possible options), you will be living by my rules for overall daily calories (no recipe in this book has more than 330 calories!), protein, carbs, fiber, sodium, fruits, vegetables, and water.   What does all this mean to you in the short term? No more standing in front of the fridge wondering what on earth you should make (and finally saying “the hell with it” and ordering a massive pizza for delivery). No more calorie counting and worrying about macronutrient combinations (carbs and protein and fat, oh my!). No more confusion! Whether you create your own daily menu combinations or follow the ones I’ve supplied, I’ll make grabbing breakfast on the fly, packing lunch for the office, snacking, and assembling dinner in a rush much, much easier. Automated, even. And automation is your friend when you are trying to get rid of bad eating habits and adopt better ones.   Automated, however, doesn’t mean joyless. It doesn’t mean nasty, cardboard-y food. It doesn’t mean denying yourself the flavors of the world. My Skinny Meals draw inspiration from Thailand to Louisiana, Hawaii to France, and the Mediterranean to Mexico. Because although having fewe
