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."

 Fantastic Perspectives! August 29, 2008
Outstanding You: Discover, Design and Achieve Ultimate Fitness
This book is a cornerstone for any woman seeking a fit body. It's not about being "skinny" as much as it's about being fit and healthy. A truly remarkable book on getting in shape and getting fit for the long term. I can't stress this enough - take advantage of it's readability, size and quick, sharp points. A fantastic book!
much more than expected! August 28, 2008

This book is not the usual diet book! in fact it is not a diet book at all, it is an expose on all things we consume on a daily basis. This book has honestly changed my life for the better! It forces you to change the way you think about food. If you want change in your life, to become healthier and happier, and nothing so far has worked then this is the answer. You cannot finish this book and not be affected by its words. It forces you to become proactive about your life and the choices you make therein. A very worthwhile buy, one which will be handed around to many many friends!
This book totally changed my life August 27, 2008

I have read this book 4 times and I now have it on an audio book as well to listen to the wealth of information. I am so excited about it that I am telling everyone that I know about the book and I have been giving them away as life changing gifts. I didn't by the book to "get skinny" I bought this book because it was floating around out office and I thought that the title was catchy. Low and behold bam I am not the same. No book that I have ever read has had this kind of impact on me!
 A PETA meeting in disguise? August 26, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I first saw this book in stores. I wish I head read any sort of review online first. It really appealed to my fabulous side, along with my desire to be skinny. Unfortunately it really had nothing to do with dieting. It was more about two failed models trying to use "hip" filthy language to push their beliefs on the public. I'm pretty sure the back cover didn't mention that the book would leave me sobbing in bed about how people slaughter pigs. That was not what I signed up for. If I was interested in joining PETA I would send Ingrid a check. However shallowly, I was only interested in getting skinny. This book didn't help. It only made me cry.
Should be required reading for all humans- bring on one for the men August 18, 2008

I did a lot of research into vegetarianism years ago, when I was single, and was a vegetarian for 7 years or so....but then I got married, quickly had kids....and my husband is a confirmed meat eater. I started our marriage though buying only organic fruits and veggies, brown rice, wheat flour, and thought I had educated him about healthy eating. Since I would not cook meat, he took over a lot of the cooking though after the kids came along and I had gone back to work. My health took a nosedive- from being the healthiest I had ever been- to now, being the fattest- all so the kids (and he) could have the same comfort food he had grown up with. Mind you I am very very grateful for all his help...but....
Well, I have had enough. I know the truth that is in this book. It is excellent to give us all a thunk in the head....which most of us truly do need.
I can't wait for a version for the men to come out.
I would also love to see someone investigate the current American cancer treatments in an easy to read format such as this. For example, if you get cancer at 40 is chemotherapy really GOOD for you longterm if you want to be healthy until you are 80? Or is it really killing the immediate problem and your healthy organs and functions to boot? I would truly like to know if this is also an invention of the very large medical industry.
