From Goodreads: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.
My Review : I am on a quest to lose 180 pounds so any book that will give me information on how to achieve this I am all for reading. I need all the help and information I can get. What drew me to this book is that I don’t really like a lot of meat and this book is all about going vegan. I am not vegan by any stretch of the imagination but it gave good tips regardless. This is touted as a diet book but it is also a look into the meat industry and how it does not follow the guidelines that it is supposed to. It also shows that animals who were sick or had been given bad food were more likely to make the people who ate that meat sick. It was a real eye opener. It spoke of hormones and toxins in the meat and food. It also spoke about animal cruelty which is one of the main reasons I try not to eat too much meat. I cant stand the thought of what those poor animals go through. It was tough to read this part of the book but it was very informative. I myself never thought about how the animals were raised and how the antibiotics given to them could affect me. This solidified my decision to eat vegetarian as much as possible.
There were two things that I did not like about this book. The first was the fact that it was supposed to be a diet book but instead was a foray into the meat industry. They claim that if you don’t eat meat you will lose weight but I know that not always the case.
Two there were a LOT of profanity in this book. Now I am not against profanity in general when it is used as a character development but this book had every other word as a curse word and it made me wonder if they had limited vocabulary.
Over all this was a very informative book. It is not just for people who want to lose weight but rather people who want to eat with ethics and clean food.
