I cannot say enough about this book titled "Skinny Bitch".My "office-mate", Natasha recommended I read it as we both are constantly on the lookout for evil foods that could stunt our weight loss along with anything that can provide us with a good dose of our favorite exercise...
laughing our asses off.
Seriously, the way me and my "office-mates" laugh should be considered a sport for all the guffawing, snorting, knee slapping and head jerking frenzies we get ourselves into. And this book delivers some serious LOL, ass reduction capability along with dispelling some dietary myths that we take for granted.
When I saw the authors on the back cover looking just like skinny bitches and when I read that one of the authors, Kim Barnouin used to be a model and the other used to be a modeling agent, Rory Freedman, I was ready to give the book back to Natasha. I mean come-on, skinny people should not tell people how to lose weight. It's like a nun giving women tips on how to be sexy. They just have no idea. Unless they've walked a mile in fat lady moccasins, I don't think they should offer people dieting advice.
But Natasha raved about the book and she's a pretty smart bitch so I read it.
And yes, they are Skinny Bitches.
BUT, they're also Smart Bitches-- who back up everything in the book with statistics and scientific studies and...
they're Funny Bitches who swear like teenagers.
Here are some of my fave quotes from the book:
When ditzing dairy..."Go suck your mother's tits. Go on. Suck your mother's tits. You think this is ridiculous? It is. Get ready to use your head."
When ditzing coffee..."So coffee equals fat cells. PS. It also makes your breath smell like ass."
When ditzing govermental agencies..."Is everyone in the FDA on drugs?"
And thanks to these Skinny Bitches, I'm ready to become a vegan. Not so much because I think eating meat is bad for your body, but because the treatment of these animals is deplorable, horrific and sad. Not to mention the amount of grain we use to feed these animals that could be feeding people. I just hope McDonalds gets a McVegan 1/4 pounder soon...before I get weak.

I've seen this book, but like you thought what do you skinny minnies know about losing weight, so I put it back...may have to rethink this...
I read somewhere that laughing is one of the best exercises for your tummy...
good luck with the book...and the McVeggie Burger from McD's...grin...
Hey Brenda! *wave*
I'm glad to hear that laughing is good for the ole abdominal muscles. Maybe I'll get a six pack since I laugh so much at work.
I think when I'm done reading the book, Ill only be able to eat three things, but hey, I've got lots of grass in my front yard and according to the skinny bitches, grass is healthy for me as long as there's no pesticides. LOL
Seriously though, I think I'm going to put a vegan counter on my blog to see how long I can go without meat. Should be a quick one. :)
I have heard such great things about this book but this blog entry might be the thing that pushes me over the edge to get it.
My ex coworker Becky read that book, and she showed me a few of these "Skinny Bitche's" comments. They are hilarious.
Good luck with going vegan. I'm alreay about to be a vegetarian (on the cause of barely eating meat) ... just cannot commit to it.
Did you know there are such things (people?) as fruititarians?!
Google it, it's true mom... mm hmm.
:)
Courtney, it really is worth a read. Just the humor alone is worthy. Thanx for stopping by. :)
Josh, I bet I would make a good fruititarian, I mean I'm already a lil bit fruity :)
I must say I am quite impressed with your entheusiasm towards conquering the whole vegan thing. As your "office-mate" I am well aware of your positive/ADD spin on the book. I am fully confident that even if you don't make a complete vegan transformation, the laughter alone that this book evokes will burn at least 2000 calories, so either way, you're heading in the right direction! :)
