Skinny Bitch



"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 eliminates meat and dairy foods, promotes whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, and encourages women to get excited about feeling "clean and pure and energized."




I had the day off yesterday and heard these young author's talk about their smashing new book called the "Skinny Bitch"on the TODAY SHOW. The ideas in the book most likely are based on Vegan practices but I looked at the exert on line and this stuff is hilarious! I wish we could use this type of "IN YOUR FACE " approach in health care for some of our slackers. I think we could maybe help people to wake up and take responsibility for their health if we stop beating around the bush and just tell them like it is. The authors have created some controversy and have really stirred things up in the "DIET" world. I don't agree that women should try to look like anorexic celebrities and starve themselves to death, but I do agree that recognizing what you are eating is very important to your health and performance.

Not eating is over-rated. Yeah, it may make you "skinny". . . .but it's not fun. EATING is fun. :-)

I eat fried pork skin, doritos and monster energy drinks at lunch.
It's bad having vending machines at work, but that stuff must make you fast--top 10!
