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." Average Rating:
 Rating:  - much more than expected!This book is not the usual diet book! in fact it is not a diet book at all, it is an expose on all things we consume on a daily basis. This book has honestly changed my life for the better! It forces you to change the way you think about food. If you want change in your life, to become healthier and happier, and nothing so far has worked then this is the answer. You cannot finish this book and not be affected by its words. It forces you to become proactive about your life and the choices you make ... Read More Rating: - This book totally changed my lifeI have read this book 4 times and I now have it on an audio book as well to listen to the wealth of information. I am so excited about it that I am telling everyone that I know about the book and I have been giving them away as life changing gifts. I didn't by the book to "get skinny" I bought this book because it was floating around out office and I thought that the title was catchy. Low and behold bam I am not the same. No book that I have ever read has had this kind of impact on me! Rating:  - A PETA meeting in disguise? I first saw this book in stores. I wish I head read any sort of review online first. It really appealed to my fabulous side, along with my desire to be skinny. Unfortunately it really had nothing to do with dieting. It was more about two failed models trying to use "hip" filthy language to push their beliefs on the public. I'm pretty sure the back cover didn't mention that the book would leave me sobbing in bed about how people slaughter pigs. That was not what I signed up for. If I was interested ... Read More Rating: - Should be required reading for all humans- bring on one for the menI did a lot of research into vegetarianism years ago, when I was single, and was a vegetarian for 7 years or so....but then I got married, quickly had kids....and my husband is a confirmed meat eater. I started our marriage though buying only organic fruits and veggies, brown rice, wheat flour, and thought I had educated him about healthy eating. Since I would not cook meat, he took over a lot of the cooking though after the kids came along and I had gone back to work. My health took a nosedive- from being ... Read More Rating:  - Mixed feelings about the bookThe GOOD: First off, one author holds a masters in Holistic Nutrion so she IS qualified to write such a book. The information about aspartame alone blew me away. I've been drinking diet cola for years and have struggled on and off with depression and this book made me seriously consider if they are linked. This book was funny and I like how the authors aren't scared to say what they truly think when it comes to diet, animal cruelty, and veganism. Even if you aren't ready to go vegetarian or vegan, ...
