"Whether I''m traveling on assignment, getting
ready for a black tie event, or just plain want to look 'urban
skinny,' Danielle tells me how to do it. Choose wine or
dessert, eat protein and fat, and never consume sodium the day
before you squeeze into a gown. Above all, count
calories! Danielle will literally circle her choices for you
on a takeout menu. Read this book and it will change your
caloric life." -Alina Cho, National Correspondent, CNN
"I went on the Urban Skinny program
twelve years ago to lose ten pounds, and not only did I lose the
weight, but I've managed to keep it off ever since-in spite of
living in New York City, traveling sometimes more than half the
month, and eating out more than 90% of the time. Moreover, the
program's balanced, nonrestrictive, logical approach to food and
diet has enabled me to form and maintain a healthy relationship
with food for the first time in my life. Urban Skinny has kept me
both skinny and sane throughout all of life's challenges, hurdles,
and celebrations." -Amy Wigler, Vice President of Marketing, Logo
by MTV Networks
"As a runway and print model who has
appeared across the globe, I am wary of the notion that only
industry insiders understand the pressures of staying 'fit.'
Danielle immediately understood my goals and put me at ease.
Indeed, I often found myself laughing; for she was funny even while
being firm (but fair) when creating my personalized plan. We
cut out foods that would deter from the svelte look models are
supposed to have. We targeted belly fat. I went on to walk the New
York Fashion Week Campaign and even with Naomi Campbell. If you
take weight and health seriously, it is a must to be guided by two
sides of a coin-a trainer and a certified nutritionist. I found
this in Danielle, whose holistic approach encompasses physical,
mental, and emotional dimensions." -Anjhula Singh Bais, model,
Elite Model Management and Models One
"I have worked
with Danielle for eleven months, during which time I have lost
almost fifty pounds. As I approach my fiftieth birthday, I am
reinventing my life as a musical theatre producer. Working with
Danielle I have also reinvented my approach to eating. Under
Danielle's tutelage I have learned to integrate delicious, healthy
food and drink into my fast-paced life of networking and
socializing without ever feeling deprived. With her new book,
everyone can experience the wonder that is Danielle!" -Gwyn Osnos,
co lead producer of the forthcoming Broadway musical Wanda's
World
"There are
expectations in my profession to look the best you can at all
times. Danielle taught me to change my diet to fit my life, not my
life to fit my diet. The results were astonishing! I lost
weight I didn't even know I had!"-Justin Bruening, actor
