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."

• You Can't Argue With This Logic 11 October, 2008
If you are GENUINELY ready to lose weight or get healthy, you will love this book. This book is hilarious, and is written in a satirical girl-talk language that is designed to work on the insecure (but powerful) psychology of women. Especially self-loathing women. I bought the book 2 days ago, and I've already lost 5 pounds! This is 99% water and poo (there's a whole chapter on poo), but it's a start. They explain nutrition in an easy-to-digest (no pun intended) way that is relevent to young women. Loved it!!

• More Bitch Than Skinny 04 October, 2008
This book is basically a peta pamphlet cleverly disguised as a diet book. There is some good information on how to become a vegetarian, and good reasons to avoid meat and dairy products, but becoming a vegetarian (while it may be healthier) does not seem to have any weight loss effect. After reading the book I really wanted to see if it could work and stuck to only "Skinny Bitch" approved foods - after several weeks no difference whatsoever. It also bothered me that the book protests the cruelty of animals but seems to have no problem with the abuse of its readers. You will loose more self esteem from reading this book than you will weight. If you want to eat healthier, become a vegetarian and discover new ways to hate yourself, then this is the book for you, but don't buy it expecting to loose any weight.

• Dissatisfied 06 October, 2008
I still have not received the item and it has been over a month. About 10 days ago I notified the seller and they did reply but had I not sent them a message I would have never heard from them. For all I know the item had been lost in the mail. I am very dissatisfied with the whole thing. I should have bought it from Amazon rather than an independant seller.

• Just The Kick In The Pants I Needed 05 October, 2008
'Skinny Bitch'. I would not have guessed by the title that this was a book written by a couple of vegans, but I loved it! I have no problem with the language, being a foul-mouthed former Army chick myself. In fact, I loved the way they insulted my fat, disgusting *ss! Everything they write is the truth about the sick way I've been treating my body. As for veganism, having fallen off the wagon after 10 years of being a vegetarian, it was just the inspiration I needed to jump back on. The recipes were all foods that I enjoyed as a vegetarian, and reminded me that I really won't miss nasty, putrid flesh after a couple of weeks. Everyone who consumes animal products should read the chapter on factory farming. If you think it's too graphic and difficult to stomach, TOO BAD!! That's the reality of what you are doing to animals, yourself and the planet. In summary, this book excited me about getting healthy. I like the attitude with which it was presented. If I have one complaint, it is that processed vegan foods should be used sparingly, rather than as dietary staples. I would recommend this book to anyone who is concerned with having a healthy body, clean conscience and liveable planet.

Opens your eyes to what they put in food products and why you can't lose weight without knowing.
