This is the book that started it all for me. It is my bible. Conquering the New York Times bestseller list, it is a great weight loss guide as well as a wonderful way to learn about the benefits of a vegetarian or vegan diet. It's "A no-nonsense, tough-love guide for savvy girls who want to stop eating crap and start looking fabulous". Author Rory Freedman is a former agent for Ford Models and author Kim Barnouin is a former model with a Masters of Science degree in Holistic Nutrition. So, I think it is safe to say they know all about looking fabulous! Both women have successfully used their Skinny Bitch methods on models, actors, & numerous other professionals. Plus, they both live in LA, the gathering place of beautiful people.
I love the straight talk. The book is written as if your best friend was telling you "Honey, I love you, but girl those pants are NOT flattering! Let's go shopping!" And then you would both head to the mall and Starbucks. I love the critique ivillage, Diet & Fitness gave: "What makes this diet easy to swallow is the book's tough-love attitude - part best-friend counsel, part drill-sergeant abuse and a dash of sailor mouth, wrapped in a pretty chick-lit package." This book literally made me laugh, and cry. It also bitch-slapped me in the face with my own ignorance a few times.
The witty barbs and engagingly humorous way in which the authors dish out their scientifically sound info will set you on your path to your personal revolution! The gals provide personal experience, success stories, scientific evidence, helpful hints, books and websites to peruse, and a list of foods to get you started. You even get to learn about healthy pooping. I'm not kidding! There is an entire chapter devoted to dropping the kids off at the pool. After all, "Fiber isn't just for shits and giggles..."
All in all, you come away from this book feeling as if you are now part of the Skinny Bitch clique. A clique of beautiful women of all shapes, sizes, backgrounds, and from different avenues of life. You are ready to tackle the world, excited to better yourself and the environment around you, and reeling from the power you now hold in your hands to do so.
The gals also have a cookbook, Skinny Bitch in the Kitch which also hit the NY Times bestseller list, a version for expecting mothers, Skinny Bitch: Bun in the Oven, a motivational journal, Skinny Bitchin', a male companion of the original, Skinny Bastard, and a DVD workout series, Skinny Bitch Fitness. So, jump-start your new year with a new way of life, a new look, and a fierce new Bitch attitude! Buy you and your fellow Bitches a copy of the book everyone is talking about, and hit the grocery store! I'll see your skinny bitch-ass on the flip side (and yes, I totally just said that!)!
You can order the book, and check out other cool stuff at the Skinny Bitch website.
