Skinny Bitch: A No-Nonsense, Tough-Love Guide for Savvy Girls Who Want to Stop Eating Crap and Start Looking Fabulous! by Kim Barnouin, Rory Freedman

2.0

Two big issues with this book:
- The writing style was terrible. I like the f-word as much as the next person but I don't think that it's appropriate in professional writing, even if it's "tough love." It really distracted from the message of the book.
- The promotion of processed foods. Getting past the writing, I appreciated most of what the recommended but was sad to see the promotion of so many frozen, processed foods in the 30 Day Menu chapter.

I did not learn much from this book, but that was because I've read a lot of the same information through other sources. Aside from fasting, which is debated in the medical community, I found most of their advice in line with other books I've read. If you want some shocking imagery of slaughterhouses, they have a great/horrifying chapter on that. They also had a list of food additives: what they do and where they come from.
