Christine Avanti, celebrity nutritionist and best-selling author of the Skinny Chicks series, lives by the philosophy that healthy food need not sacrifice flavor or options. She applied the weigh-loss theories from her latest book, ?Skinny Chicks Eat Real Food,? to her role as chef-consultant on the Food Network show, ?Fat Chef?. Successfully, each week she nutritionally guides overweight food professionals, kicking the pervasive chemical-laden and processed ?diet? foods to the curb.

Christine creates whole food recipes that highlight the healthful properties of fresh produce, unrefined grains and sweeteners along with hormone-free animal products while still satisfying taste.
