How to NEVER Look Fat Again by Charla Krupp Review & Giveaway (3 Winners)


How would you like to NEVER look fat again? If you're honest, I should see every single one of you raising your hands (myself included)! I have the answer and no it's not a pill, surgery, exercise, or a diet...it's a book! It's called How to Never Look Fat Again by Charla Krupp.

About the Book (from the Publishers):
The new groundbreaking style-guide from bestseller author Charla Krupp on how to look 10 pounds lighter, 10 years younger and 10 times sexier every day, all year--in summer, winter, at the gym, even in a swimsuit!
You'll never get dressed the same way again once you discover:
*smart, easy ways to hide arm flap, a big bust, a muffin top, back fat, Buddha belly, a big booty, wide hips, thunder thighs, and heavy calves-and that's only half the book.
*which fabrics, colors, and styles make women look fat


*absolutely the best shades, shapes, and brilliant buys to make the pounds invisible


*clever solutions for special fashion situations--workout gear, evening wear, and even swimsuits!


*which products, fashions, and services you shouldn't waste your money on


*the top ten tips that will make you look thinner by tonight!


So, if you've ever put on a piece of clothing and asked "Does this make me look fat?" Finally, here is the book that will answer your question.
My Review:

Thanks to my membership at The Product Review Place, I had the opportunity to review this book and I love it! This book makes so much sense and it made me realize I really am not crazy! There are several pieces of clothing that I own that when I put them on I swear they make me look fat. My husband always gets frustrated when I start on that and always claims I look fine. Well, now I know that there really are some clothes that DO make me look fat! I don't care if you're a size 0, if you wear the wrong kind of clothes, you can look fat!

This is a nice hard back book that is FULL of pictures and it really shows you how you should wear your clothes. There are tons of easy to follow tips that tells you what to wear and what not to wear. Did you know that there are clothes that are High Fat, Low Fat, and No Fat? I didn't, but after reading this book I have already labeled all my clothes...and I don't know about you but I just want no fat clothes!

The tips are easy to follow and there are even tips to make you look thin in the summer! It also points out how stars look thin, because they know how to dress and how to strategically pose and hide their flaws. No matter what size or shape you are, this book will have the answer of how to dress so you don't look fat. Thanks to this book, I will be able to look thin no matter how many pounds I gain!

The only thing I didn't like about the book was that most of the suggestions of clothes that the author suggests you buy are pretty expensive. Sadly I don't have the money to spend a fortune on clothes, and even if I did I don't think I could spend $175 on a pair of pants when I have a toddler...and I spill almost as much as he does (if not more). Still, you don't have to buy those exact clothes (they are just suggestions), instead I just look at the type of clothes she suggests and I plan on buying cheaper versions of them.

I highly recommend this book to EVERY woman! It is a must have! I know that if I don't feel like I look good, then I don't feel good about myself. So, for me this book is important to have so I can look good and feel good!

This book goes on sale on March 10th.

I'd love the tips to know which types of fabrics to avoid buying! I did get a gift card to a department store from MIL for my birthday recently, and I could use these tips before I go shopping! I am thin, but I'd swear certain clothes of mine just are not flattering.

Eileen said...

i have a friend/neighbor and we are ALWAYS talking about the FAT thing. I joke to my hubby that he neeeds to tell my those 3 little words WAY more often..."You're Not Fat!" So, it seems I am surrounded in my MIND with thoughts of FAT and even was anorexic in high school. I just wonder if finding out how to dress to a person's body to feel GOOD and pretty is WAY more to it that actually being a size 2 or having a body mass fat index of such and such.I know you have to try to BE healthy and eat healthy, but having an imperfect BODY doesnt mean you are FAT or have to look fat. RIGHT...even a size zero has problem areas. I wasn to check out this book and pass it around! We spend WAY too much time worrying about our weight and not our health!!!
