4.0 out of 5 stars Giving It To You Straight, July 31, 2008

Initially, I thought I didn't want to read all the cursing, etc. However, I appreciate the direct and frank tone the authors gave me about being obese, feeling sorry for myself and eating foods that are literally killing me! I am following their advice and as a result, I have become a vegan. I feel 100% better, I have more energy and I look forward to being a "skinny bitch" in a good way! Sometimes, it takes someone like these authors to give you the truth without making it sound "cute and pretty". I need to hear the TRUTH without the fluff.

I read a lot of reviews before I picked up this book. A lot of people complained at the manner in which it was written. I am not easily offended, so I found this book a lot of fun to read because of it's straight up honesty. I felt it was very motivating to make changes in my life.

I've made a few of the recipes in the cookbook. And the food is delicious. I could eat that club sandwich for lunch everyday and not get bored with it. It's amazing the difference you feel when you start reading ingredients and choosing such healthy food.

And to those who say that these women are basically making you starve yourself with this food...I have to disagree 100%. The food is delicious and good for you. It still has calories you need, just less fat calories that you don't. And most of this food is cholesterol free.

Needless to say. This book has made me change the way I look at food, and I feel a lot better for it.

I loved the Skinny Bitch book, after I read it. I wanted to try Skinny Bitch in the Kitch. So far I tried the Potato Scamble and thought it was great! I love that these books come together as they compliment each other very well, and that they are hardcover as they will last longer.
Skinny Bitch has changed my life. It has helped me become aware of the things I put into my body, how food is processed, etc. I give it 4 stars instead of 5, for the fact that some things may or may not be true, just as anything may be. Use your own judgement.
