Product Description
El franco enfoque de este libro es el adecuado para aquellos que han intentado perder peso y mantenerse, y no lo han conseguido. Rory Freedman y Kim Barnouin ensenan a comer de otro modo, sin deshacerse de los alimentos que siempre nos han gustado a todos. Ofrecen mas de 75 recetas para desayuno, almuerzo y cena, y para picotear. Se trata de romper la negacion mental acerca de los malos habitos alimenticios que hemos seguido por anos, y la eleccion de alimentos mas sanos y una vida plenamente disfrutable. / The frank, ""get real"" approach of this diet book may be just right for those who have tried and tried without success to lose weight and keep it off. As the title indicates, the language is salty as Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin tell readers just what they must get rid of in their everyday eating: sugar first, followed by meat and dairy. Freedman and Barnouin recommend a vegan lifestyle, and tell why, and then offer more than 75 recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacking. They help readers break through the mental denial about bad food habits, and offer responsible and fun food choices without denying cravings and appetite.

 Don't waste your time. November 21, 2008

I really dislike this book.
Their language is horrible; they use as many swear words as possible for shock value. Their grammar is terrible. Did anyone edit this thing? I was incredibly turned off by the writing style and tone of the book.
If you can get past the language, most of the information presented is off mark or just plain wrong. The majority of the "scientific" information is not backed up by citations or references.
It's presented as a healthy diet book but the real motive is to convince you to become a vegan. It's a very unpalatable piece of propaganda.
 Perfect book for the gullible girl. November 18, 2008

OMG--I had to read this book after seeing my SIL become a vegan overnight and lose a ton of weight. If you like being made to feel like an idiot, and can tolerate profane words being tossed at you like the salads these two ladies live on--then buy this book!! It basically goes over all the common sense ways we should be eating and basically makes you feel like a second-class-citizen if you choose to eat any meat product. BE WARNED: If you will not even consider the possibility of being a vegan, than this book is NOT for you--it goes into some pretty graphic banter about how animals are treated in a slaughterhouse (any animal advocate already knows this stuff)--I thought the book to be a waste of my reading time and intellegence. I'll stick with my "common sense" diet which is minimal processed/fried/junk foods and more all natural foods--see I just saved you around $15.00!!! LOL

Bought this book after hearing both good and bad about it. The technical info on food additives is good but that's about it. I don't need to read the fword and more in every other sentence or a whole chapter on the practices of our slaughterhouses. It's bad. We know it's bad and the point to become vegetarian is valid but not a whole, descriptive chapters worth of blood and gore. We're adults, we get it after the first paragraph. The whole book is one shocking statement after the other and YET ends with the authors admitting they also cheat and not to get mad at them if they're seen cheating. Come on. Walk the walk or shut up.
Time to stop pretending your still in H.S., ladies... November 15, 2008

This book is ridiculous. The quote on page 140 states it all "We set out to write this book for a few reasons" ...one of which was they "couldn't bear to have 'real' jobs." Seriously? Time to wake up ladies. Not all of us are impressed that you're former models. We want a little more substance. If I wanted someone to curse at me every other word, I could just go back to high school. Keep it out of a book about nutrition. I hoped to find some new recipes or ideas...but no. Just a list of their snobby stores and items they're promoting. If you want a good, healthy informative book get Body for Life. This one is the pits.
Really... November 14, 2008

If anyone can take a diet book that pushes colonics as being an important part of being healthy, need to really start doing some research.
