Editorial Review:
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."

Rating:  - Read this book if you want to be informed
First off, I've read some of the reviews here and feel a little clarification is in order. The authors of this book are, indeed, former models. One reviewer then went on to say that they are not qualified to write this book. Well, it turns out that one of the authors has a MASTERS degree in Holistic Nutrition. Hmm... unqualified indeed.
This book is great. It's meant to be shocking, eye opening and thought provoking. It's a real look into the life of a factory farmed animal. They ... Read More
Rating:  - Deceptive but interesting
I felt somewhat deceived when I started reading this book, No where in the summary does it actually tell you what the book is really about. Nothing at all mentioned about becoming a vegan or even a vegitarian. I did, however, find it interesting to see another side of dieting that I have never really considered. I think I will try some, but not all of the suggestions mentioned here. It was pretty disturbing to read about the animal proecsses and I actually could not even finish that chapter.
Rating: - Perfect book for a vegetarian ...........
First of all lets take a look at the cartoon ladies on and in the book. We are giving a bad picture to girls/woman as it is already. It's just sad.
I myself am a "skinny" girl. I eat MEAT and I drink MILK that comes from cows yes I do. This book just made me sad, it's basically saying anyone who is bigger is fat, unhealthy and its their own fault. To some extend I agree with them but you can't just put everyone into one pot and call it good.
If you want to be a vegan then it's ... Read More
Rating: - Funny, clever, easy to read guide to health and nutrition
I loved this book. I became vegan 5 years ago. Since that time I have read at least 17 books on diet, nutrition, and pure vegetarian diets in addition to countless journal articles and other sources. Ninety percent of what I read was written by MDs specializing in nutrition. Skinny Bitch was the best summary of that information I've read. It synthasized the information in a funny and accessible way.
I feel compelled to comment on a review posted here so here goes. If you read the book ... Read More
Rating:  - In Your Face May Be a Good Thing
The first thing I noticed about the book was the authors' straightforwardness. I have been called many descriptive words that all allude to "you are just a little fat, but in great shape" (I have finished a triathalon with a BMI of 27, which I would like to lower and maintain to 24). I also know that as I am getting into my thirties, and the "in great shape" part is a little wobbly. I like the fact that they don't beat around the bush and straight up say if you are fat and dont change then you will continue ... Read More
