Product 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 espouses a healthful lifestyle that promotes whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, and encourages women to get excited about feeling "clean and pure and energized."

1 out of 5 stars Some fun..but cant to be taken too seriously   September 7, 2008
On pg. 53, the author writes "We encourage you to think for yourself and make your own decision". This line reflects why I would not recommend this read. the women who wrote this leave no room for you to form your own decision on their radical rules to becoming a skinny b*tch

The book basically bashes anyone who eats meat, dairy, and white bread. ok, who doesnt eat those things from time to time? its unrealistic and a good deal of the suggestions aren't backed up by credible sources (who cares is Dr. Andrew Weil says drink soy milk... who the heck is he?!!?)

Its a lighthearted read that appeals to the fashionista, jet setting type of person. and there are some good food recommendations for vegan types.



3 out of 5 stars over the top   September 5, 2008

The book has some solid information, but some of the information is taken to the extreme or overgeneralized.

In general, some good considerations. I wouldn't accept the all or nothing mentality as it doesn't fit into real life business traveler needs.



4 out of 5 stars Actually, It IS based on science   September 4, 2008
  2 out of 3 found this review helpful

Everyone needs to calm down. They're writing style is not for everyone but happens to be one of my favorite things about the book. I like straight forward sassy women. I think it's great. But I also take it with a grain of salt. They do base their claims on plenty of scientific studies and research. It's all in the back of the book if you want to check it out. I now have the knowledge of what goes on in the meat, dairy, and other food industries and I will make smarter, organic, free-range, etc. decisions, or cut back on certain things. It is very informative, and I'm glad to know what these industries would rather the public not know. But I'm not giving up cheese or adopting their plan verbatim. What I really like about it is that it's not a diet. It's a lifestyle change in eating habits. As a health educator I know (and I teach others) that diets do not work, but making healthy permanent change does. I enjoyed the book tremendously, but I would never recommend it to my mother (even though she would agree with all of their claims) or some other old fashioned, easily shocked person because of their straight talk. Some people just can't handle it.


3 out of 5 stars entertaining but needed more facts   September 4, 2008
  0 out of 1 found this review helpful

the title is a misnomer. buyers could pick up the book thinking they'll be getting a round of lifestyle and nutrition tips. instead they get two women expressing their very strong views about the state of the american food industry. and while their facts are valid, there are bits and pieces that they don't identify as the minuses to being vegan... and there are more than a few.

This book is amazing - funny, educational, realistic. This book changed my life, because it actually pushed me over the edge to become a vegetarian.

Bottom line: good read, interesting, and humorous.
