This exotic martini (from my new book The Skinnygirl Dish: Easy Recipes for Your Naturally Thin Life) has just 156 calories—162 fewer than a traditional one!

In cocktail shaker, combine 2 ounces premium vodka, 1 ounce lychee juice (from a can of lychees; available at the grocery store or Asian grocery), and 1 ounce club soda. Shake well, and strain into a chilled martini glass; add lychees for garnish. Fab!

Q: My guy eats fattening stuff and never seems to gain weight. How can I avoid wrecking my diet with him?

A: If it’s a question of him constantly wanting you to eat what he’s eating, then you need to call him on it.

Otherwise, do what I refer to as “taste everything, eat nothing.” In other words, eat all your healthier foods as usual and then have just a little bit of a variety of the decadent stuff. No food is fattening in small quantities. Key word: small.
