Vegetarian Star

Bethenny Frankel has written a new book, Skinnygirl Solutions, that is filled with the same healthy eating and diet advice she’s dispensed for years.

This is the fifth book for the best-selling author and like many of her previous tips, suggestions and recipes, is a solution derived from putting plant-based foods in the formula.

Vegetarians are less likely to suffer from obesity and its associated diseases, so it’s no surprise Frankel’s guide to getting skinny warrants swapping a real burger for a veggie one.

“What’s the differential between a cheeseburger and a veggie burger with cheese? If both would taste roughly the same to you, especially if you dressed the veggie burger up with mushrooms, onions, ketchup, mustard, pickles, lettuce, and tomato for the whole burger experience, then the differential is small. That’s when you go for the healthier choice—the veggie burger.”

Frankel warns she is a bit biased. But at least she includes it in the fine print.

“Full disclosure: I love veggie burgers, veggie nuggets, and all those “fake” meat products, because to me they are genuinely satisfying and definitely lower in fat and calories than hamburgers and chicken, and I think they taste just as good. I know that they are pretty much junk because they’re so processed, but I also like that there are no animals in them.”
