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."

 HORRIBLE book - disguised as a diet book July 27, 2008
This is the first book that I have been so offended by that I actually carried it outside to the garbage - didn't even want it in my home! It is filled with horrible descriptions of animal cruelty in factories that create meat products (chickens, hogs, cows). Shocking and horrible, and NOT what this book is advertised to be. If you are looking for an entertaining diet book (which this actually started out to be - I'm in agreement with vegetarianism and avoiding aspartame), steer VERY clear of this horrid piece of work.

I bought this book on impuse. Specifically, I flipped through some pages, noticed that the book addressed clean eating and decided to add it to my cart. I was surprised and even taken aback by the fact that it turned out to be a book on veganism. By the time I read the book I was already a week into clean eating. Having kicked the hydrogenated oils and the HFCS, I was frustrated at being advised to give up both meat and dairy. I wasn't sure what would be left to eat. Despite my frustration, I let the book's message sink in, then went to the local organic food store. Thanks to the authors recommendations, I found some really tasty vegan snacks, meat and dairy alternatives to supplement my grains, fruits and vegetables. This book captured my attention because it tapped into my interest to rethink the way I eat. I am appreciative for that. Would I recommend the book as the diet answer? Not necessarily. The message may just be too extreme for someone who is considering a diet overhaul. I would suggest works on clean eating before jumping into this vegan tome.
Some tips good, however some very unhealthy --- July 26, 2008

Eating soy on a daily basis can be damaging to your health. Soy is the Number 2 estrogen-producing food source - it makes your body fatter. All women become estrogen-dominant at some point, and wonder why their health has gone south and why they have gained weight that is impossible to lose. This is simply pure science.
Also, it has been documented that vegans end up with certain vitamin deficiencies. Please do your research and be responsible for your own health. All that glitters isn't gold.
 Fantastic! July 25, 2008

The author is very knowledgable and informative. She has a wonderful frank and humorous writing style that tells it like it is! Just wish I had the willpower to take her advice!
Animal Rights Propaganda, Not A Health Book July 24, 2008

It's a bait and switch. I thought I was buying a humorous health and nutrition book, but instead it was animal rights advocacy material. I have no problem with the animal rights movement, but the nature of this book should be made clear right from the start, on the front and back covers.
