Skinny Bitch
From back of book…
If you can’t take one more day of self-loathing, you’re ready to hear the truth: You cannot keep shoveling the same crap into your mouth every day and expect to lose weight.
Authors Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin are your new smart-mouthed girlfriends who won’t mince words and will finally tell you the truth about what you’re feeding yourself. And they’ll guide you on making intelligent and educated decisions about food. They may be bitches, but they are skinny bitches. And you’ll be one too-after you get with the program and start eating right.
In my opinion…
These girls are more than direct and don’t waste any time with prettying it up – which for some, may be a little shocking. I was able to appreciate the amount of information packed into this little book and laugh at the tongue in cheek language. I seriously laughed out loud and very much enjoyed the quick read. That said, it’s not for everyone.
If you’ve been curious about where our food comes from and what we’ve all been eating that is causing so much obesity in both adults and children, this is a good beginning. I’ll tell you, it is quite a shocking realization!
Warning! If you are okay with reading “F”-bombs as well as other savory words, you’ll be fine with this book. If in your face language offends you, open this book to the first chapter. If you’ve turned the page smiling, you’ll love this book!
While I enjoyed getting a few chuckles out of this book I found it to be a little preachy. I get it. I reallly do and I also appreciated what they were getting at but after a while I found it became somewhat offensive. The girls said as such suggesting that some of the readers would feel defensive and they were right – I did. actually contemplated not finishing the book but I continued on. Overall, I thought it was educational and somewhat humourous but I felt it could have been a little less in your face. I guess that’s just there style and delivery. A delivery in the end that I didn’t really appreciate.
