Getting into your pants! Not a book about picking up chicks, but a guide to healthier eating...

Leslie Von Romer is the ultra thin Author of Getting into your pants! Her guide to living healthy is backed by her years of eating a nutritional diet which consists of 10 fruits and 10 vegetables a day! I was amazed when I listened to her speak at the Portland Northwest Women's Show, as I looked around the seminar area at the women who seemed to think her 10+10 program must be impossible. I too thought, "How could someone who is used to eating processed foods, fast food, and tons of other prepared edibles get used to consuming real food?"

Even though she had a testimonial from one of the young women who had heard her speak the day prior, and was already feeling more energetic from following Dr Leslie's advice... I was still skeptical.

When I returned home, I stocked up on fresh fruits and vegetables and vowed to give it a shot. The bill was stifling. I realize crap doesn't cost as much as the good stuff, but let's see what kind of meals and fulfillment I get from the foods I bought. Of course, I don't want just the average apples and oranges. I want exotic fruits too!

After a day or two, I do feel strangely content with the lack of breads, meats, and other fillers that I may have otherwise eaten. I guess woman can live on pure food alone. I do still think this way of life may be a bit more costly, but I feel that the nutritional increase is worth the funds, if you can afford it.

Here's her basic breakdown of the program:
1. You don't need to starve yourself, or stop eating the foods you love, just eat less of them.
2. Begin your day with the healthiest foods for your body- eat 10 fruits by lunchtime.
3. For lunch have a great big salad. Avoid the oils and fats.
4. Avocado makes a great dressing when mixed with Lemon Juice and tossed well with salad greens
5. For dinner eat your veggies first, this includes a baked potato (minus the butter and sour cream) then if you're still hungry munch on the meats and breads.

She empathizes with women, as we tend to cook for others as well. She says we don't have to change our families diet, but simply fill our plate with the healthy stuff.

She also reiterates, that you don't need to deprive yourself of the desserts, chips, cookies, etc. Just eat them less, after you have already stuffed yourself with GOOD food.

Excellent philosophy to live by. Thanks to Leslie Von Romer for giving us this terrific guide to getting in our pants! If you'd like to listen to our interview with her, click here
