Skinny Bitch By Kim Barnouin, Rory Freedman
 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
Skeptic turned Vegan by end of first read
When I first picked up this book I was immediately irritated by it. And yet... and yet I bought it... I read it... in one sitting.
What started as irritating became entertaining and definitely enlightening. By the end of the book, I was a converted vegan. Two weeks later I've already lost 3 lbs. and I feel great.
Now I did not buy this book to lose weight. I think I was more interested in a healthier way to eat. I don't have much to lose (the typical 5 lbs. I seem to never shed no matter how "healthy" I eat). I've been an obsessed calorie counter for years and I guess I was curious about how the "other half" lived (the people who seemingly never seem to worry about what they eat and never seem to rush to a journal or their Iphones to jot down every bite).
This book roped me in because of a quote I read somewhere about how if you were to only shop the outer perimeter of a grocery store (thereby skipping the processed junk in the middle), you would never have to count calories or think about what you ate. So it was with that mindset that I read on...
Boy am I glad I did.
The thing is this, would I have picked up another vegan manifesto under a more somber name? Probably not. I never felt like that was an option for me. But the title and the tone of this book were funny enough to keep me reading. They cover serious subject matter and I took it to heart... but I was also entertained.
At the end of the day, I feel better now than I ever have about what I'm eating and why. I feel better about how my eating affects the environment around me. I feel more comfortable exploring healthier options and learning more about vegan eating. I am no longer a slave to calorie counting. And hey, MY CLOTHES FIT BETTER!
Be ready for a Vegan Polemic
This book is terrible. The title, _Skinny Bitch_ is suitable, bc if you were to follow the diectives in this book you may or may not become slender, but you will definitely become a bitch, bc you would not be able to go out anywhere without asking a million annoying questions, and boring you frineds and family with Vegan Propoganda. The coloquial style--while intended to be charming--is actually quite off-putting, and rather insulting. As a historian, I know how to formulate and support an argument, and this is not it! This book is a false adverstisement, and I am sure that the bitchy authors are laughing all the way to the bank. If feel embarassed for wasting my time and money with this dross. I am perfectly capable of being skinny by eating a moderate omnivorous diet..and so is everyone else. Don't waste your money ladies!!
