Synopsis

Divya Gugnani was working 18-hour days at Goldman Sachs when she realised her true calling was food. After attending the French Culinary Institute and earning an MBA from Harvard Business School, she combined her two passions and launched BehindtheBurner.com in 2008 - an emerging culinary media brand that creates expert-based content about food, wine, mixology, and nutrition. "Sexy Women Eat" is a quirky, practical guide to staying slim, fit, and fabulous for women who live to eat. Life is just too short to diet. Divya shows you how to make small changes in your daily routine that add up to big savings on the scale. Her unconventional tips include: Always eat breakfast and remember, eating muffins gives you muffin top; Do jumping jacks in the bathroom, lift weights during conference calls, wear ankle weights around the office; Master the art of baking and indulge your sweet tooth with treats low in sugar, high on taste; Drink water with every meal - add a slice of lemon or a pinch of cinnamon for an extra kick of flavour; Say goodbye to fad diets and cleanses and hello to good fats like nuts, olives, and avocados; and, Sprinkle flax seeds on food to aid digestion and help protect against cancer. From getting your fiber fix and making it through the four o'clock snack attack, to surviving breakup binges and learning to indulge in good food wisely, former investment banker and professionally trained chef Divya Gugnani gives you the tips you need to be a modern day wonder woman and channel your inner supermodel.
