no stars
|
How silly that I had to give this appalling book a star just so I could post my review! Really, Amazon, are we not allowed to give a zero rating???
Anyway, as you can see from my title, I do, indeed give this book NO STARS.
Well LANGUAGE "ladies", please! Thank goodness the authors had the idea of letting the customer see inside the book before purchasing! The finger-pointing, aggressive tone is bad enough, but the "F" word a few pages in, describing soda manufacture, is indefensible. I would not give this insulting book shelf-room. Do yourselves a favour, don't buy it!

funny, inspiring, informative
|
I am a rather fussy reader/film watcher/music listener. But this book gets 5 stars without fuss.
Reading it feels like talking to a sister or a close female friend. It's sweet, funny, yet informative and inspiring. It feels like time well spent. It leaves you smiling and motivated.
And motivation is such a priceless gift when you want to loose weight/ live healthier.
It made me laugh a lot too. Light-hearted, witty and entertaining read.
Although I'm not new to healthly eating, I found a lot of interesting new information in Skinny Bitch. Weather you take everything written here as gosspel or you just follow the guidlines loosely, you will benefit from the advice.
The authors thought about everything. There are lists of ingredients you should avoid, lists of "acceptable" junk foods, other reading resources etc. There are also references to literature the authors were using to back up their advice. So they do treat the reader seriously.
It's a "holistic" approach. It's not just about food and dieting. It's about a lifestyle. An honest and no-nonsense guide to becoming an attractive, vibrant and strong-minded woman of Today. Happy, healthy and care-free. Vigorous, calm and self-content.
I recommend this book as a guide to eating well and feeling great and as a fun read.

Ridiculous and poorly written
|
I was really looking forward to reading this book for inspiration to pursue a healthier lifestyle. The book's "inspiration" amounted to a lot of swearing- obviously covering up the authors' lack of appropriate vocabulary. It comes across as crass and ill-informed.
Also, many of their "scientific claims" are completely false, and they cite inadequate sources for these outrageous claims. If the reader has a basic education in biology, he/she will recognize the false claims and the poor attempts to cover them up using expletives.
A total waste of time.
