Calling all women 5 ft. 4 in. and under! You now have your own diet plan. Jim Karas, a best-selling lifestyle author and weight-loss expert, affectionately points out the obvious: that “petites” have different needs than their taller sisters: “If you work the math, you will finally understand why you must operate under different assumptions (like the fact that you can’t eat like the big girls) when it comes to weight loss.” The additional calories (or addies, in Karas’ girl-talk parlance) that are taboo for short women include popular items such as orange juice, mixed drinks and salad dressing. Says Karas, “My goal is to make you the ‘skinny-mini bitch’ next door.” (Published by HarperOne.)
