About this ebook

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."

Ratings and reviews

This is not a diet book. It's a propaganda filled rant by extremist wackos. It's falsely advertised and should be labeled as the extremist animal rights manifesto that it is. Their pseudoscience is a joke and just plain wrong. The publisher should be ashamed of themselves for lying to the consumer on the cover of this book. Don't waste your money or time unless you want to hear unfounded assertions about meat eating and be bullied into the ridiculous vegan lifestyle. If you like a bunch of lies and propaganda, this is the book for you.

Very disappointed. I began reading this with an open mind to ideas, but bashing the animal industry completely turned me off of this book. I am looking to learn to make healthy eating habits, not become a hard core vegan, member of PETA. As someone who has grown livestock for human consumption, this book takes a small amount of occurrences of animal mistreatment and blows it up. As mentioned many times, it is a money making industry, and if the animals aren't healthy then money won't be made.

I FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN RIPPED OFF AND MISLEAD! If you are readying this book based on the claim, "A no-nonsense, tough-love guide for savvy girls who want to stop eating crap and start looking fabulous!" and hope to learn what these authors consider "crap" you will be disappointed. This is a book written by vegetarians to push their agenda on those that eat meat. They use tactics to ensure you are completely disgusted by the meat industry. I'm not saying what they say isn't true, I'm convinced it is. But, don't pretend to offer advise to a group of people (fat people) that are looking for help and then flip the script and make the book about some political argument against meat. This makes you "skinny ... " no different than the meat industry and FDA that aren't looking out for us, neither are you.
