Description:

Not your typical boring diet book, this is a tart-tongued, no-holds-barred wakeup call to all women who want to be thin. With such blunt advice as, "Soda is liquid Satan" and "You are a total moron if you think the Atkins Diet will make you thin," it's a rallying cry for all savvy women to start eating healthy and looking radiant. Unlike standard diet books, it actually makes the reader laugh out loud with its truthful, smart-mouthed revelations. Behind all the attitude, however, there`s solid guidance. Skinny Bitch supports a healthful lifestyle that eliminates meat and dairy foods, promotes whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, and encourages women to get excited about feeling "clean and pure and energized."

Begining of the change of my life

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

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!

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

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!

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 Bitch

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

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

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

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.
