FOREWORD

L ong before I got to know Dr. Kellyann, I was an online fanand knew that I had to meet this cool, dynamic woman in person.

When we first got together at the Soho House New York in Manhattan, I could see immediately that Dr. Kellyann walks the walk. She radiates positivity and energy. Her skin glows, her eyes sparkle, her hair shines, she looks healthy.

What I love most about Dr. Kellyann is that she truly is all about beauty from the inside out. She understands the connection between being healthy on the inside and looking gorgeous on the outsideand she gives you the tools you need to achieve both goals naturally.

A gifted clinician, Dr. Kellyann has guided thousands of weight-loss transformations during her twenty-four years as a medical practitioneras well as tens of thousands more through her New York Times bestselling book, Dr. Kellyanns Bone Broth Diet . Now shes back with an innovative, results-driven plan to slim your belly fast.

Im a fan of really clean, delicious food, and Dr. Kellyanns plan lets you eat fabulous food while getting rid of belly fat. And as a makeup artist, Im excited that this diet loads your skin with beautifying collagen as it works to give you a more defined waistline.

To me, beauty is confidence. We are all works in progress. While some people are born confident, for most of us that takes some work. We all want to feel and look good and be comfortable in our own skin. Trust in Dr. Kellyanns method to offer the inspiration and tips that will help you become the best version of yourself from the inside out.

Introduction

KISS YOUR BELLY FAT GOODBYE!

Y oure longing to wear skinny jeans. Youre aching to wear slinky dresses. Youre tired of hiding your muffin top under a beach cover-up or a baggy shirt. And youre fed up with your big belly making you feel old and unattractive.

Well, you know what? If you want a beautiful belly, you can have it . In this book, Im going to show you how to get lean, sculpted abs that will make strangers envy you and your friends ask, Whats your secret?

Heres my promise: If you follow my plan, youre going to lose your belly fat. Youre going to stop hiding and start strutting. Youre going to smile when you see yourself naked in the mirror. Youre going to go from invisible to insufferably smugand Im going to take you there.

And thats not all. In addition, youre going to take control over your belly. If youre tired of being bullied by your guttired of constant bloating, gas, and constipationIm going to show you how to take command. Youll become a belly boss , and from this point on, your gut will take orders from you.

Want more? Im also going to tackle the inflammation that makes your inner belly old and sick, so you wont just look younger on the outsideyoull be healthier on the inside. In addition, Im going to load you with nutrients that beautify your skin, hair, and nails and heal your joints while they melt away your belly fat. And Im going to balance your hormones so your uncontrollable cravings become history.

As a result, your friends wont just envy your gorgeous bellytheyll wish they had your energy, your youthfulness, and your ability to walk away from that doughnut box without a second look.

While this may seem like a quick-fix diet, its not. This is an inflammation-blasting, blood sugarbalancing, gut-healing program that will slim your belly and make you look younger and feel healthier.

I know these are big promises, but trust me: Im up to the job. Im a weight-loss specialist with more than twenty years of amazing transformations under my belt, and Ive also helped tens of thousands of people lose weight through my books and my appearances as a regular contributor on The Dr. Oz Show .

In addition, I currently work with some of the biggest names in Hollywood and New York Citymen and women who need to look perfect onstage or on-screen. For these celebrities, an extra inch on the waistline can kill a career (and gas and belly bloat are out of the question). Every single day, these stars bellies need to be flawless.

Whats more, these celebs cant take the risk of doing diets that leave their skin dry and wrinkly or wreak havoc on their hair and nails. And they cant afford to get derailed by cravings that could potentially put them out of work. So they need a diet that makes them beautiful all over, controls their appetite, and puts them at the top of their game.

I have to work magic to keep these stars beautiful inside and outand I do. Moreover, I get results fast . While hundreds of thousands of people have lost weight on my 21-Day Bone Broth Diet, the celebrities I work with dont always have twenty-one days to slim their bellies. Frequently, they have a big event coming up quicklya movie shoot, a concert tour, a TV specialand they dont have three weeks to get a beautiful belly.

Its not only celebrities who need to slim their bellies fast, either. Many of my patients are up against a deadline, tooa wedding, a class reunion, a beach vacation. These people tell me, Help, Dr. KellyannI need to lose this weight now !
