"Skinny Bitch" is a cynical, foul-mouthed read with only good intentions that could get you into your best bikini shape for this pool season.
Rory Freedman, a former modeling agent, and Kim Barnouin, a former model, have succeeded in producing a book that is equal parts entertainment and harsh facts
about losing weight and advice on how to stop making excuses.
With a title like "Skinny Bitch," it is expected the book be full of attitude. The language is just as sassy as the cover which holds a curvy, but skinny-figured woman in a little back dress and a lot of make-up.
The diet book is a strictly vegan diet that seems to be subliminally pushing animal rights while giving diet tips.
The tone of the book is harsh, but as the kind of honesty you'd expect from a best friend.
You know it's the truth, so you don't get offended by the blunt advice that may
otherwise have hurt your feelings.
The book is filled with those four-letter words that are sure to make readers either relate to the book in a down-to-earth kind of way or stray away from it because of its explicit content.
The first chapter, "Give It Up," gets straight to the point telling readers they need to give up smoking, drinking, soda and junk food as well as many other unhealthy items.
"Let's Eat" provides detailed meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner that will guide readers on the right track allowing them to see examples of the foods they should eat to get the results they want.
To conclude the book, Freedman and Barnouin state the title "Skinny Bitch" was used to catch the eyes of young readers and they are in fact not harsh in real life.
The book's conversational tone makes for an interesting and entertaining read – not simply just dos and don'ts of dieting and exercise like most weight-loss plan guides.
The authors have expanded their series with books geared toward pregnant women,
cooking women and even men so everyone can find a book to fit just what they want.
As a realistic, conversational read, this book is sure to please those who enjoy self-help books that tell them exactly what they do not want to hear in order to legitimately help them succeed.
