Product Description

Skinny Bitch created a movement when it exposed the horrors of the food industry, while inspiring people across the world to stop eating “crap.” Now the “Bitches” are back—this time with a book geared to pregnant women. And just because their audience is in a “delicate condition” doesn’t mean they’ll deliver a gentle message. As they did with Skinny Bitch, Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin expose the truth about the food we eat—with its hormones, chemicals, and other funky stuff. But even though they are “Skinny,” they want women to chow down on the right foods and gain their fair share of weight through their pregnancies.

They also won’t mince words on these topics:
• the best foods for a healthy baby and mommy
• the dangers of common lotions, creams, and beauty products that women slather on their bodies (many contain carcinogens)
• why every mother should “suck it up” and breastfeed
• the lowdown on what really happens “post-push” (after birth)
• how the companies we trust don’t care about children (choosing baby food and other products carefully)

With the same sassy tone that made Skinny Bitch laugh-out-loud funny, Skinny Bitch: Bun in the Oven will give expectant moms the information they need to “use their head” and have a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby.

1 out of 5 stars Contradictory and Misleading in quest to support Vegan agenda   November 12, 2009
guest
1 out of 2 found this review helpful

I don't mind that the authors are vegan and are trying to convince others to follow their lead. In fact, I agree that we could all probably do with fewer meat & animal products in our diets.

However, they CLEARLY manipulate and mis-interpret "data" and "studies" just to get their points across. It's base and shameless.

For example, they cite one study that shows that women who consume low- or non-fat dairy products daily have trouble conceiving. BUT THEY FAIL TO MENTION THAT THEY *SAME* *STUDY* *ALSO* showed that women who consume at least 1 FULL-fat serving of dairy per day actually have *better* chances of conception (and, anecdotally, the full-fat dairy thing worked for me; I drank a cup of whole milk a day for weeks before ovulation and BAM! got pregnant that very month). ONLY telling ONE PART of a study to try and make a point is unsportsmanlike and intellecually bankrupt. Here is a link to a description of the study and its findings, if you'd like to read them: http://bit.ly/3Vl2io

Likewise, they go on and on about how calcium supplements can't be absorbed by the body. Ok, fair enough. However, a couple of pages later, they recommend getting calcium from drinking Soy milk that has been fortified with calcium. Ummmmm. Hello ladies? How do you think that calcium gets IN to soy milk? Why, it's "fortified" with the same types of ingredients that GO into the very calcium supplements you just bashed a page earlier.

In sum, the authors shoot themselves (specifically, their credibility) in the foot by dishonestly providing only bits and pieces of info. Again, I have nothing against veganism per se, but if you're going to support it, do so in a way that is honest.




5 out of 5 stars Written by REAL nutritionists, very informative   November 10, 2009

Kudos to the authors! There were absolutely no resources out there for moms-to-be following a healthy and compassionate diet & lifestyle - until this book. To the naysayers, this is a book filled with sound nutritional advice. Both authors are highly qualified nutritionists with Masters degrees in Nutrition (one has been a nutritionist for over 15 years and the other is currently working on obtaining a doctorate in nutrition). Please don't knock the book just because you don't understand veganism. I didn't always understand it - I used to eat meat. But I educated myself - I talked to nutritionists, read copious books on nutrition and veganism, etc., before deciding 100% that it was the right decision for me. And I have never looked back because I am healthier (and yes, "skinnier") than I have ever been in my life. Please don't be narrow-minded and not give this book a chance just because the authors are vegans. (I have been vegetarian for nearly 20 years now and if all I ate was tofu and wheatgrass, I would not have lasted that long on the diet. Vgean food is incredibly satisfying - and delicious.) Give peas a chance! :)


5 out of 5 stars Excellent book but not for everyone   October 27, 2009

I just read this book and I came on Amazon to read the reviews. I noticed one thing, the people that gave it bad reviews say that it uses scare tactics and to these people I want to add that if the authors didn't use these tactics the majority of women wouldn't change their ways. To me it was something I already knew and went by in my life anyway. Don't smoke, don't drink, don't have white sugar, white flour etc. On some level WE ALL KNOW THIS but the great thing about this book is that it follows it up with research and facts. I saw someone saying it was misleading. Perhaps that's a poor use of wording as the book is very to the point and factual. Almost every paragraph has a reference attached to it. If you're like me and don't want to hear wives tales and like actual facts this is for you. If you want to go about your poor diet just as you have been, maybe you just want to avoid this book.

Another word about the book is that you know what you're getting into when you read the title. The book is on the rude side but that's part of the charm.

If you already lead a healthy lifestyle and want to continue during pregnancy, are curious what's good for you and what's not, and are not afraid of the facts ... THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU.
If you don't lead a healthy lifestyle, splurge often, believe that life's short and you want to eat what you eat, and don't like someone telling you the cold hard facts ... THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR YOU.

Very cute and funny book. Good tips on healthy eating to gain only the weight needed. Some slightly radical ideas about milk, dairy, and meat - but all in all a good book


4 out of 5 stars It is time for a wake up call   October 11, 2009

With the rate of cardiovascular diseases and cancer rising it was time for someone to speak up the truth. Maybe some don't like the way they wrote the book, but that does not change the facts. What americans are eating today has stopped being food a long time ago. It resembles food, but it is just a package of adulterated ingredients. The meat we eat today is not the meat our grandparents ate, the milk we drink is not the same, the cake we bake has nothing to do with what people used to call a cake. Our grandparents may be living to their 80's but our kids will probably not if we keep feeding them foods packed with artificial chemicals inside a cute container. To become vegan is a choice that everyone has the option to make or not, but we may be running out of time to live our dream of eating the way our grandparents used to eat, because the Earth where our grandparents used to live does not exist anymore. If we want to live healthy we have to adapt, and maybe going vegan and organic is the best way to get the best of the foods that are still, real foods today.
