Description

#1 New York Times Bestseller and International Bestseller

A no-nonsense, tough-love guide for savvy girls who want to stop eating crap and start looking fabulous!

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."

Praise for Skinny Bitch:

"A funny foul-mouthed ode . . ."
The New York Times Book Review

"Don't hate them—be them. The authors of Skinny Bitch offer women a no-holds-barred approach to being thin and fabulous."
Metro

"A cleverly titled book with useful information on healthy eating . . ."
Elle UK

"Ready to jump-start [the year] with an electric prod to the system? . . . They tell it like it is, and without delicacy."
Chicago Sun Times

"By no means for the faint hearted . . . this is as hard hitting as it comes!"
Hot Stars (UK)

"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."
iVillage, Diet & Fitness

one of the better 'diet' books out there

Excellent information, baudy, naughty, funny. A valuable resource for anyone trying to get healthy and learn about how important certain positive choices are and how they affect us and those around us.

Valuable info about slaughterhouses, the government/epa/NPPC/USDA etc.,drugs and vitamins, excersize, attitude, mind/body connection.

Good further reading list and footnotes.
