As well as promoting weight loss (with low glycaemic index carbohydrates and foods rich in amino acid tryptophan), the You Sexy Thing! diet boosts levels of the ‘happy hormone’ seratonin – producing an increase in your zest for life.

There’s also be a little extra for the bedroom – with a section on aphrodisiac foods to get you in the mood.

About this title

Review:

Get slim, fit, sexy and gorgeous in 15 days? Sounds impossible, but according to Amanda Ursell following the diet and exercise regime in You Sexy Thing! will get you lithe and lovely for beach and bedroom in a little over a fortnight--and if anyone should know, Ursell should as she makes her living evangelising through newspapers and TV appearances about the benefits of healthy living and even healthier loving. And to be honest, if the illustration of the lovely Amanda on the back of the book doesn't give you inspiration then nothing will.

Whether you are looking for ways of reassuring yourself that you are sexy (apparently, believing it is being it--if only it were so easy), to learning how to eat all the right foods, calorie-controlled recipes, exercises to keep your bits and bobs from heading south, tips on choosing the clothing and make-up that will make the best of your assets and recommendations for a good few aphrodisiacs to help you get the most out of the new you, Ursell has all the answers.

To be fair, if you are an old hand at the diet game You Sexy Thing! won't come as any surprise to you: the diet programme is sensible and the exercises are standard fodder for this type of book. However, Ursell's "up 'n' at 'em" tone, and her boundless enthusiasm (not to mention her thorough knowledge of what women really, really want from a diet book), lifts You Sexy Thing! from the diet book doldrums and offers hope to anyone who is thinking about squeezing the cellulite into a skimpy bikini or a pair of lacy knickers.--Susan Harrison

From the Back Cover:

Amanda Ursell has put together an easy-to-follow programme to reduce love handles and get rid of cellulite in just 15 days.

There will also be a little extra for the bedroom with a short section on aphrodisiac foods to get you in the mood.
