Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
- Grab your current read
- Open to a random page
- Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
- BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
- Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
My Teasers:
“To have a healthy, satisfying relationship with food, we need to rebel and allow ourselves to cheat sometimes. And our human nature confirms this time and again by making us obsessively crave things that we think we can’t have.”
~ p.11, “The Rebel Diet: Break the Rules, Lose the Weight” by Dr. Melissa Hershberg, M.D.
((I’m actually between books, right now, so this is from the book I’ve picked up to skim through)).
PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Teaser Tuesdays post, or share your 2 ‘teasers’ in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks!

A diet that allows you to break the rules? Sounds like just what I’m looking for! Very nice teasers. Here’s mine:
http://jlshall.blogspot.com/2010/01/teaser-tuesdays-play-it-as-it-lays.html
Good one! I’ve always heard its better to have a little bit of something you crave than to try to fulfill your craving by eating something else; you’ll end up eating more trying to conquer your craving than you would have if you just gave into it.
My teaser is here.
I completely agree with your teaser! I’ll have to check out that book.
Here’s my teaser from a Pride and Prejudice spin-off… http://westietherapy.blogspot.com/2010/01/teaser-tuesday-these-three-remain.html
Excellent teaser, spot on!

That sounds reasonable to me! My teaser:
http://lakesidemusing.blogspot.com/2010/01/teaser-tuesdays-nine-parts-of-desire.html
I think we cheat about food all the times!
Teaser Tuesdays: Tintin and King Ottokar’s Sceptre by Herge
Maybe a little too much! LOL
I’m in the middle of a diet that allows ‘cheating’ at certain times and it is TOTALLY working. Here’s my teaser:

Great teaser! I don’t like to think of eating chocolate as cheating so it’s now a food group!
Here’s my teaser this week – http://justbookreading.com/2010/01/12/teaser-tuesdays-8/
Wow! The post hadn’t even shown up when I left the hotel this morning and there are already 45 comments! We must all be “rebels”!
My teaser is here.
Very interesting teaser (and true, in my opinion). Here’s mine this week:
http://cornucopiaofreviews.blogspot.com/2010/01/teaser-tuesday-january-12.html
Good teaser for the beginning of the new year!
Here’s mine:
http://scobberlotch.blogspot.com/2010/01/teaser-tuesday-half-broke-horses.html
Mmm…I don’t think that book is my cup of tea (judging from the teaser). But I do like the cover artwork!
My teaser can be found here.
very very late, today! still reading our book club choice for January so here’s mine
http://blog.readinggroupchoices.com/content/blog/barbara/10/january/teasertuesday-112-cutting-stone
Hm. I don’t like the idea of phrasing a diet in terms of “cheating” – it still implies that foods that taste good can’t be part of the “rules” of a healthy diet.
But in decidedly non-diet related teasers, here’s mine from Fade to Blue: http://bookishblather.blogspot.com/2010/01/its-teaser-tuesday.html
http://hopeseguin.wordpress.com/2010/01/12/teaser-tuesday-7/
Now in November . . .
Wow! I need to check that book out! I just joined Weight Watchers, so I think it would be beneficial to me.
Here’s my teaser:
http://missysbooknook.blogspot.com/2010/01/teaser-tuesdays-is-weekly-bookish-meme.html
I like that teaser. Mine’s up, too.
http://carolsnotebook.wordpress.com/2010/01/12/teaser-tuesday-43/
So very true.
My teaser
Miguel de Cervantes stated that the proof of the pudding is the eating.
Love that. It’s not healthy to deny yourself something, but everything in moderation.
Great teaser.
Here’s mine for Splendor
The whole “diet” and “cheating” mentality drives me crazy — and yes, I struggle with my weight. Do Weight Watchers! It’s science: calories in, calories out, and it’s geared toward the way we actually live our lives. And — as I said, yes I struggle with my weight.
My teaser is from a very powerful memoir on living with bipolar disorder: “bipolar bare” — no capital letters — by Carlton Davis. The Carlotta below is Carlton’s muse, so to speak, and there are “conversations” between the two of them, which lets you comprehend the illness from two perspectives. Here’s the teaser:
“Darling Carlton, you precious boy,” Carlotta coos,“I always think of you as lighting the way to a new understanding of life.”
Alas. The first time I did Weight Watchers, I lost 20 pounds. The second time, I lost nothing in several weeks. The third time, I gained ten pounds in two weeks.
My body never gets “fooled” by the same diet twice. So now I just eat in a healthy way, exercise a lot, and trust my body to achieve the weight that’s natural to it.
Weight Watchers really works well for a lot of people, though. Everyone needs to eat in a way that will let them be healthy, and that’s one of the ways that works for many.
Food for thought!
Here’s mine – rather the other end of things(!), from Atwood’s Oryx and Crake.
Uh HUH. THIS is a book for ME. I have tried almost every diet known to man or woman!

Now THAT is the kind of advice I like to see when it comes to food! Of course, I must be careful not to follow it too often.

mmmm the cover looks yummy and the teaser is so true. You can read mine here.
I love that idea!
My teaser this week is from
The Ask and the Answer
The cover makes me what some chocolate!
Here is my teaser
http://pagese.wordpress.com/2010/01/12/teaser-tuesday-2/
I so agree with the tease! I just “allow myself to cheat” a bit too often!
Here’s my tease on marriage:
http://amyreads.com/?p=822
Here’s my Teaser!
I believe that if you are craving something you should eat a little of it or you will most likely eat too much later! Good teaser.
Here is mine.
Isn’t that the truth!! Great teaser, sounds like a book I definitely need to read.
This teaser is from Page 103 of “An Evil Guest” by Gene Wolfe.
http://richardlecomte.blogspot.com/2010/01/tuesday-teaser-jan-12.html
Well, right now I’m craving toast and peanut butter. Guess I shouldn’t have skipped breakfast …
Here is my teaser!
I love your teaser! It’s something I’ve thought for a very long time. It’s so important to work around real human nature rather than apply an ideal to it that just can’t work. Great choice!
Here’s my own teaser, from a book about the Pharaoh Akhenaten.
Here is my Teaser Tuesday! Storm Front by Jim Butcher.
http://thenovelworld.com/2010/01/12/teaser-tuesday-112/
My teaser is from Some like it Hot Buttered by Jeffery Cohen:
http://okbolover.wordpress.com/2010/01/12/teaser-tuesday-featuring-some-like-it-hot-buttered/
Love your teaser.
My teaser is posted on my blog:
http://myreadingtable.blogspot.com
Great teaser! That’s why I try to have a little bit of what I am craving so (hopefully) the craving will go away. It doesn’t always work, but it does sometimes.
Here’s mine.
I’m reading Amy and Isabelle, a mother-daughter story that’s good but a bit intense. Here’s my teaser.
Very profound and very true! What an awesome teaser.
Here’s my Teaser Tuesday from “Salutations! Wit and Wisdom from ‘Charlotte’s Webb.’”
Have a wonderful day!
Great teaser, and very true!

I like diets that you can cheat on!!I wish I could find one where I could just eat chocolate and lose weight!
Here’s Mine
LOL. Amen to that!
Sounds like an interesting read!
I’m trying something a bit different today:
http://shereadsandreads.blogspot.com/2010/01/teaser-tuesdays-january-12.html
Back again for more teaser fun – Sarah Waters, Tipping the Velvet reread time for me!
Like the teaser – sounds like common sense!
My teaser is from a historical novel (12th century) I’m reading for the Royal Mistress Challenge, The Time of Singing by Elizabeth Chadwick:
http://misadventuresofmoppet.wordpress.com/2010/01/12/teaser-tuesday-the-time-of-singing-by-elizabeth-chadwick/
Better late than never, right?

http://mustreadfaster.blogspot.com/2010/01/teaser-tuesday-wizards-first-rule.html
I have to agree with your teaser.
Here’s mine: http://aspasia-curiosities.blogspot.com/2010/01/teaser-tuesdays-is-weekly-bookish-meme.html
This sounds sensible! A little indulgence, in moderation, helps us stick with healthier eating habits.
Mine is here.
I’m sort of anti-diet. They don’t work. The only thing that works is a lifestyle change. I recommend sparkpeople.com It works! And its free.
Anyway, here’s my teaser. And funny enough, its food related, even though its fiction.
Uh, oh. Did my comment disappear? I apologize if this is a double post.
here’s my teaser
It looks like my first post did disappear. Hmm. Anyway, I was just recommending Spark People for anyone looking for a free and effective way – not to diet – but to change your lifestyle to a healthier one.

Hi,
I jsut discovered this meme and I really love it. There are so many books that I have seen excerpts from and want to read.
What a great idea.
I know that I didn’t do it on Tuesday but I wouldn’t help myself and post a Tuesday Teaser on Wednesday. I did a teaser from Wuthering Heights and Capricornia.
Here’s the link:

Your teaser about food and cravings – soooo true! Here’s my teaser this week:

http://dancingwithadragonfly.wordpress.com/2010/01/12/teaser-tuesday-jan-12/
Tremendous article, numerous quality information. We’re about to show my pals and enquire of them what we think.
