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."

 Perfect book for the gullible girl. November 18, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
OMG--I had to read this book after seeing my SIL become a vegan overnight and lose a ton of weight. If you like being made to feel like an idiot, and can tolerate profane words being tossed at you like the salads these two ladies live on--then buy this book!! It basically goes over all the common sense ways we should be eating and basically makes you feel like a second-class-citizen if you choose to eat any meat product. BE WARNED: If you will not even consider the possibility of being a vegan, than this book is NOT for you--it goes into some pretty graphic banter about how animals are treated in a slaughterhouse (any animal advocate already knows this stuff)--I thought the book to be a waste of my reading time and intellegence. I'll stick with my "common sense" diet which is minimal processed/fried/junk foods and more all natural foods--see I just saved you around $15.00!!! LOL

Bought this book after hearing both good and bad about it. The technical info on food additives is good but that's about it. I don't need to read the fword and more in every other sentence or a whole chapter on the practices of our slaughterhouses. It's bad. We know it's bad and the point to become vegetarian is valid but not a whole, descriptive chapters worth of blood and gore. We're adults, we get it after the first paragraph. The whole book is one shocking statement after the other and YET ends with the authors admitting they also cheat and not to get mad at them if they're seen cheating. Come on. Walk the walk or shut up.
Time to stop pretending your still in H.S., ladies... November 15, 2008

This book is ridiculous. The quote on page 140 states it all "We set out to write this book for a few reasons" ...one of which was they "couldn't bear to have 'real' jobs." Seriously? Time to wake up ladies. Not all of us are impressed that you're former models. We want a little more substance. If I wanted someone to curse at me every other word, I could just go back to high school. Keep it out of a book about nutrition. I hoped to find some new recipes or ideas...but no. Just a list of their snobby stores and items they're promoting. If you want a good, healthy informative book get Body for Life. This one is the pits.

If anyone can take a diet book that pushes colonics as being an important part of being healthy, need to really start doing some research.
 This book changed my life. November 12, 2008

I read this book a few months ago and since making some of the changes, I can honestly say I feel better than ever. I must admit that I went to the bookstore to purchase a vegetarian cookbook, because I had already pretty much decided to give up meat. I did not know that when I picked this book up, it had anything to do about becoming vegan. I was laughing out loud when I began reading this book, the authors are hilarious (I am not offended by profanity) and their advice is pretty common sense. the only area I was not convinced about was their recommendations of fasting. I will not be trying that anytime soon. This book has led me to think more about what I put into and onto my body, and let me say, I don't think my body has ever felt this good. I am forever grateful to the authors for coming out with this easy to read book that sparks your interest into things that many would rather not think about. Think about it!
Thanks again to the authors!!!
