But... it's *actually* an intro into becoming a vegan. I would NEVER have expected a book with this whimsical cover to contain such an empassioned call for vegetarianism. The girls are funny writers and total smartasses, but they also know what they're talking about. I learned about the aspartame lawsuits and research that blew my mind. The subtitle says that this is a "tough-love" book, but these women are just plain mean. They talk directly to the reader, calling her a "lazy shit" and a "fat pig". I know some people need a major wake-up call about their eating habits, but this went too far to the point of alienating me at times. I'm not an expert. I poses 'an approximate knowledge of many things'. However, sometimes I go a bit nutty and start digging. This book tries to be sassy and bad-ass. Instead it comes off assy and just bad. It's insulting, boring and enraging at the same time. Congratulations! However, Love has since stated that Mert and Marcus will direct the music video provided that Mercury greenlights the project, while also stating again that Sasha Pivovarova will take on the role of the "Skinny Little Bitch."

21. Seek therapy.

She knows nothing, she quotes nothing (no studies, no authorities), and she says things even I know to be incorrect. One of the book's co-authors, Kim Barnouin, holds a degree from the non-accredited Clayton College of Natural Health, which closed in 2010. Clayton College has never been accredited by any reputable accrediting agency [3] and is viewed with deep suspicion by the medical community. [4] [5] Sequels [ edit ]

The authors' mention the widespread corruption in our school lunch programs. Non-profit organizations, parents, and other groups have been trying to get healthier school meals inside our schools, but the USDA is heavily "supported" by the meat and dairy industries, so those attempts have been thwarted from all angles.

The dairy and meat industry is trying to tap into the organic market. Just because something is labeled USDA Organic doesn't mean it is. The USDA has approved labeling foods organic with a lot of loop holes. Look for certified organic products from non-profit organizations. The book provides a list! Hole.

I wouldn't recommend this book to a single female (or male) I've ever met. In fact, I'd be terrified of my (non-existant) daughter/neice/any young girl stumbling upon this book and taking any of its advice. Cutting down women for being "fat pigs" doesn't make the authors look cute or funny and certainly doesn't make them edgy, it just ends up being another demeaning and damaging thing that women have to deal with. Read a story about where currently popular standards for protein consumption came. You'll be amazed by the power of bullshit. Exercise: Skinny Bitch recommends carving out about 20 minutes, 5 days a week, for any exercise of your choosing. There are also some Skinny Bitch Fitness DVDs. Does It Allow for Dietary Restrictions or Preferences?

The first part of the book seems to be written with the intention of shaming or scaring you into being healthy (aka vegan). Here are some choice phrases: You need to exercise, you lazy shit… You are a total moron… You are a gluttonous pig… Don’t be a pussy… Don’t be a fat pig anymore. You get the picture. It was quite off-putting, as you can imagine. I am not keen on being insulted by something that I bought (or someone else spent their hard-earned money on for me). I am not one of those people who needs a personal trainer who tells me how worthless I am. I felt that their tone was pretty unnecessary. Besides which, I have learned that people respond about a million times better to encouragement & positivity than insults & nastiness. Who needs that, seriously? Since you are reading about how to stop being a bitch, you probably realize that you should work on the negative behaviors that are considered bitchy.

11. Don’t be two-faced, and don’t give false compliments.

You’ve already taken the first step just by searching for and reading this article. The worst thing you can do right now is nothing. The best thing is to speak to a therapist. The next best thing is to implement everything you’ve learned in this article by yourself. The choice is yours. This is not a diet. It is a way of life. A good one. The authors actually say in the book that the point of the book is not to be Scawny or Skinny, but HEALTHY. Many of the cons listed above are not accurate. Other than B12 a vegan diet that is balanced does provide ample nutrients. I fast one day a week to give my body a rest. I am a vegetarian, but not vegan, although I am moving in that direction and this book is a good help in that respect. I lost over 100lbs in the last few years due to a medical condition and I am very fit now, but I used both Michael Thurman (which is Mega Meat Intenstive to lose 40) and then lost the rest on Isagenix – which I still enjoy adding to my nutrition plan years later. So, what it boils down to is eat healthy, exercise sensible and listen to your body not your urges. Lastly, Yoga, which the book recommends is fantastic for supporting a healthy lifestyle. I practice Kundalini and Anusara. And am a certified teacher of Kundalini. Eat smart, be smart. and don’t be afraid to try a little here and there. You don’t need to go 100%. The book helps you move in the direction. Enjoy. In essence this is an extreme vegan diet that describes meat as ‘dead, rotting, decomposing flesh’. The list of forbidden foods includes all animal products (meat, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy), refined flour, sugar, honey, beer, caffeine (coffee, tea, chocolate) and any food that contains chemical additives like artificial sweeteners. “Sugar is the devil and artificial sweeteners just as bad” they state. My decision to read this book was largely based on watching No Country for Old Men. I saw the guy get shot in the head with a cow stunner and just really lost it. Yes, that's awful. That's why I don't eat meat, and yes, I believe these two ladies when they say there's puss in milk. I'd believe almost anything about mistreatmetn of animals because it's pretty gastly in those slaughter houses. It's unknown when and who first used the term Skinny Bitch (not Skinny Beach, by the way) for a Vodka Soda. However, it is evident that the name refers to the low amount of calories (about 100cal/serving) and the absence of sugar (0g/serving).
