The Badass Body Diet: The Breakthrough Diet and Workout for a Tight Booty, Sexy Abs, and Lean Legs

by Christmas Abbott

Overview

CrossFit celebrity Christmas Abbott shows how to attain the body of your dreams with a targeted eating strategy and total-body workout plan that will whip glutes and hips—and every problem area—into top shape.

As a formerly “skinny fat” woman, Christmas Abbott knows what real women need to get the butt and body of their dreams. In The Badass Body Diet, she dispels the myth of the health benefits of a “pear shape” body, teaches readers how to spot-reduce excess fat with targeted meal plans and recipes that zap cellulite, and galvanizes them with a quick and simple workout plan for a toned butt—the key to total body fitness.

Your “glutes” (the technical term for booty) are the body’s largest and most powerful muscle group—and one of the most beautiful—but they can go dormant, flat, and flabby. Packed with essential information, and inspirational before-and-after photos of her clients, The Badass Body Diet shows how to whip that butt into shape and provides essential information on how to:

• Select essential “booty foods”—the right proteins, fats, and carbs
• Experience a total body workout with an easy-to-follow, powerful exercise program
• Improve posture and functional mobility and enhance overall health
• Target cellulite through diet, workout strategies, and other proven tips
• And much more.

Unlike most “one approach fits all” diet and exercise books, The Badass Body Diet identifies the three types of dieters that Christmas has discovered working with hundreds of clients at her CrossFit gyms—Modifiers, Gainers, and Maintainers—and tailors her approach to each, providing specific goals for maximum results. Stop obsessing about a flat belly, Christmas advises. A Badass Body is a birthright, and it starts at the bottom—with a trim and tight tush.

From the Publisher

03/16/2015
As this excellent fitness and diet guide relates, CrossFit gym owner Abbott overcame early years of abusing her body with alcohol and drugs to become the model and fitness celebrity she is today. Here, she presents a comprehensive guide aimed primarily at women who want to have “the perfect butt,” a goal that Abbott believes can also lead to total body fitness. The introduction reads as an abridged memoir, sharing Abbott’s life story from birth to her first encounter with CrossFit while working as a defense contractor in Iraq. The book is divided into four parts, with part one educating readers about how the body processes fat and about the different kinds of body fat found in the buttocks. Part two, the bulk of the book, presents four distinct diet plans: the Minimalist, for body fat reduction; the Modifier, for people with sedentary lifestyles or those who are more than 30 pounds overweight; the Maintainer, for those who have 20%–30% body fat but would like to increase muscle mass; and the Gainer, for increasing both body fat percentage and muscle mass. Part three offers easy-to-follow workouts, illustrated by photos of Abbott demonstrating each move, and part four has general advice for maintaining the lifestyle. Abbott’s unadorned focus on fitness should appeal to any woman seeking to improve her body, regardless of body type. Color photos. Agent: Steve Troha, Folio. (May)
