Why a naked penguin, so I asked?

Then I thought
I'll have a task,
To find a reason
So profound,
I'll make it stand
On solid ground.

The naked penguin diet?
What a riot!
Please don't knock it
'Till you try it.

Penguins have
The right idea,
They eat fresh fish
And drink light beer!

Swim 15 miles
In a pinch,
For active penguins
It’s a cinch.

Penguins drink
Lots of water,
Happy feet
In perfect order.

Always moving
Eating green,
Making healthy
Penguins lean.

We can all be toned and trim,
Forget about that costly gym,
Set your mind and heart within...

The naked penguin diet?
Let's begin!

CBS's Maggie Rodriguez writes:

“Nutrition At Your Fingertips is like having your own personal nutritionist teaching you about food, planning the right diet for your specific needs and goals, guiding you through the grocery store and even teaching you how to store your food! I felt like Elisa anticipated and prepared me for every hurdle I might face in the struggle to eat right.
 Countless books outline "diets" designed to help you lose weight or get healthier. Elisa goes a step further, teaching us how to make good choices on our own. This book is not just a menu, it's a recipe for long-term success. The more I understand about nutrition, the more inspired I am to make a change for the better. Thank you Elisa for laying it out so simply.”
