Skinny Bitch

Running Press, 2005, Paperback

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."

Customer Reviews

Buy this book for what it is, not what it says it is: It's not that I object to messages about the benefits of a vegan lifestyle (which many of my close friends practice btw) or that I mind direct, candid, witty communications.

hated it!: I was on board with this book (in audio form) initially, then they got into meat, and were really zealots about it! I have nothing against Vegan folks, to each their own, but this book was disguised as a funny get real book about weight loss, that turned into some kind of podium for why we must all… More reviews

Waste of money and time: This book is a misleading waste of time. I couldn't get past half way through and that was only by making myself keep reading. Why the "f" word is needed is beyond me. This is not really about getting skinny, staying skinny or anything else of that nature. This book is about bashing the cattle industry, the dairy industry and anything… More reviews

This book gave me a headache: I did not like this book. I thought it was a string of random statements without facts or explanations to back them up. I found it to be entirely lacking in substance. The authors provided little reasoning or scientific explanation. Reading it, I felt like I was listening to a friend who watched some segment on TV about nutrition and then decides to tell me about it, when I know she is just… More reviews

I friggin' LOVED the book: It's fun, blunt, informative, it's how my friends and I sometimes jargon with each other. It's different, and the authors took an approach never taken before. I found it refreshing.
The authors aren't saying get reed thin, they're saying, "You're beautiful, you're smart, but you're making excuses, we're calling you on it, now get going,… More reviews
