Begining of the change of my life
 from Illinois,  Jul 16, 2007

It's like sitting around with your girlfriends after a couple cocktails and just telling like it is. Great read and wonderful information. I never thought I would embrace a vegan lifestyle, but I have and it's a good - not great thing!

Witty, Smart & a True Eye Opener
 from California,  May 26, 2008

This book is NOT for the easily offended or the faint hearted. These girls are informed & don't mince their words. I loved it! I passed it on to my family & encourage you to get informed & change your eating habits ASAP!

This is a great book!
 from Lincoln, Nebraska,  Feb 23, 2008

This is a life changing book which I love very much! It really changed the way I think about food...both me and my roommate are now vegans. This will be our 4th week, and I don't think we will ever go back. We work together, and it's really not that hard. I would really suggest this book to anyone that wants to get on track. I already lost 5.5 lbs!

Must Read for Everybody
 from Columbus, OH,  Feb 7, 2008

I think everybody should read this. This book reveals the truth behind very common food myths. It's like the Bible about foods. It changed how I view food altogether.

Actually Educational!
 from Laguna Niguel, CA,  Jan 29, 2008

I originally bought this book after having coworkers read some of the quirky excerpts to me...I thought "this is hilarious!" so I bought it. First & foremost, it is not about being a B-word (the "Reviewer" & Overstock won't let me write the B-word), or about being Skinny, it is about being healthy. It is written to educate, from a very sassy point of view about the food industry so you can make informed choices about what you choose to put into your body. Unlike many other "diet" books, it is simply written and keeps your attention without a lot of mumbo-jumbo. It tells you about an item, where it comes from, how it came to be in your market, gives you information as to what it does once in your system & why you should eat it, or stay away from it. It debunks many food myths as well. I LOVE that it informs people about the farming industry. I have been a vegetarian for a year & now moving towards vegan after reading this book. Since going "veg" I have never felt better! I have more energy (who would have thought?) & I always feel good about what I'm putting into my body because I KNOW it's good for me! So read it, take from it what you will & then 'pay it forward'...give the book to a close friend & maybe together, if you choose to, you can make positive changes to live healthier, longer lives! :)

Skinny
 from Everett, Wa,  Sep 21, 2007

When I first started reading this book it had my interest. I thought it was going to give me a new look on how to lose weight without all the yo yo dieting and instead it basically told me to become a vegetarian and stop eating dairy and drinking milk. I would only recommend this book to my friends and family who think about becomming a vegetarian other then that I got a few laughs due to there tell it like it is attitude.

Good If Your Going Meatless
 from Aurora, IL,  Jun 1, 2007

I just have to say this book was very entertaining to read if you are not easily offended with profanity. I was cracking up as I read it, sounds like your girlfriend is talking to you. Although this book was very informative it did harbor a lot on becoming a vegan. The book should have been labeled "If You Want to be Skinny, Go Vegan!" Not what was I was thinking the book was going to focus on. Needless to say it makes you rethink what you are eating and pay more attention to labels.

Skinny Bitch
 from Ohio,  Jul 23, 2010

I am extremely sorry I spent money on this book. It started out great, with a lot of helpful information. I soon found out that this book was not what I thought. I feel that the authors could have pushed their point home without all the "colorful" language. It was written as though these two women were talking down to me and treating me like I was stupid. They offer a lot of information on several industries, yet give no real research to back their statements. They do suggest tha twe purchase more books by people they know and trust. They also plug several of their "favorites"--stores that the average reader cannot get to. Although I do not have anything against vegans, these two make it seem like the readers are again - stupid if we don't buy into their theories. Very disappointing!

take into consideration
 from Wisconsin,  Mar 11, 2010

The book starts off great... telling you the obvious with a kick...love it! But then it gets a little to factual with information that is just written with the history of companies that may not be completely necessary... however you do take a lot into consideration after reading-- but in a real world not a lot of people can delete the main items targeted out of their diet-- not a must read but possibly a interesting read.

Skinny you
 from Nantucket, MA,  Oct 3, 2009

The information in the book should be taken into consideration, but definitly do your own research. After reading the book I did decide to go vegan and am looking into fasting, but also, there is much more to be concidered. Please research the proper way to read nutrition information on lables. They are very misleading!!! This book opened my eyes to proper eating and has thrown me into further reasearch on health and nutrition. I do highly recommend the book. I did not know that it would encourage veanism though.

This book changed my life
 from St. Louis, MO,  Jul 12, 2009

Once you read this, there is no way your life and your way of thinking about what you eat will not be forever changed. I only wish I would have bought this when it first came out so I could have changed my eating lifestyle years ago. It is an easy read and so full of eye-opening information.

Thin Lady
 from California,  Feb 21, 2009

I would recomment this book to any adult with eating issues who is trying to loose those extra prounds. Apparently reviewing this book isn't possible since the real title of the book doen't allow a review. ???? To bad since it's really a good book and very informative, and very funny. The books title per the the standards has profanity in it. Claudia

Skinny B*tch
 from Arlington, TX,  Jun 23, 2008

This book makes a lot of sense. One warning....there is some bad language and it was shocking to me at first, but the information is well worth it. I have started the program and feel fantastic. I have been wanting to be a vegan and the information in this book has helped me in this regard.

straight- forward talk , good for Young Adults
 from Ocean City, MD,  Jun 20, 2008

Nothing I didn't already know. Presented in blunt, straight-forward talk. I gave this book to my kids who are 20 years old and 23 years old. If it helps them to make just a few smarter eating choices then its worth it! The straight forward talk holds your attention. The young adults in my house seem to better understand and get the point about the choices facing them when choosing foods.
