Skinny B****

Skinny B**** by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin is a no-nonsense, straight-forward guide to becoming healthy and losing weight.  The book is entertaining, sassy, and told as it is.  It’s a wake up call to all women who want to be thin.  In the book, soda is referred to as “liquid Satan”, the truth about ingredients like aspartame, MSG, and high fructose corn syrup are revealed, and a diet of fruits, vegetables, and grains is strongly encouraged.  The book contains some rather inappropriate words (not too surprising considering the title.)  Although it explains why and how you should go vegan, it’s mainly just about getting healthy.  Most likely if you are not a vegetarian already before reading this book, you will be when you’re finished.  

Freedman and Barnouin tell readers to simply use their head and common sense when it comes to becoming healthier and eating the right foods. You should ignore all the diets and gimmicks out there, because they don’t work.  Get in the habit of reading the ingredients of foods, because it doesn’t matter how much fat or calories is in a food; it’s what the food is made of.  Because if you can’t pronounce an ingredient, or if it’s something you’ve never heard of, then it doesn’t belong in your body.  (Aspartame, MSG, BHT, GMO’s, and natural/artificial flavors are some examples.)  They also reveal the truth about the USDA and FDA, and how you can trust no one.
