Skinny Bitch!

I read this book last Saturday. I'd heard a lot about it and finally got it on Swaptree (traded my copy of "Baby Proof" by Emily Giffin).

The text on the front says it ALL. It really is a no-nonsense, tough love guide on how to get thin. But not in the way that one would expect. I really love the way that the authors, Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin, use the cover of the book to intrigue potential readers. A passer by might think that "Skinny Bitch" offers the latest and greatest ways to drop pounds and fit into those high school jeans again.

However, Skinny Bitch glorifies all the reasons why humans should live a vegan lifestyle. As a vegetarian of two years, I was a little taken back by what the book was actually about (as I'm sure most are), but also appreciated everything that the book offered. Some sections of the book are actually a little hard to stomach. They go into detail about the disgusting habits of the meat industry in the US and explain all the reasons why the bodies of humans are not built to consume and digest milk from any other being besides other humans.

I really enjoyed Skinny Bitch. It made me start paying attention to everything that I eat on a daily basis. I've reverted back to being strict about eating whole wheat everything, using soy milk for my coffee and cereal, and watching my dairy intake in general. I recommend this book to ANYONE who says that they could NEVER be a vegetarian. I'm not looking to convert anyone, I just think that most people will pay more attention to what they are eating and where they are getting their food from after they read this eye-opening, quick read.
