What you can learn from Chelsea Handler's diet success

Clever, funny and superbly toned, Chelsea Handler has become renowned for her wit and wisdom on TV and in books. Although Chelsea makes everything seem effortless, her slim figure required the expertise of a professional nutrition expert - and Chelsea's willingness to give up some of her favorite foods (including cutting down on vodka!).

The diet was created by Mark McDonald, who designed the Venice Nutrition Program.  This diet and exercise program teaches you just how to evaluate and analzye your metabolism and reprogram it, with a smart diet and fitness guide that helps you sync up your life to optimize your body's peak performance. It's all captured in his book, Body Confidence: Venice Nutrition's 3-Step System That Unlocks Your Body's Full Potential
