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

This is one of the very few books that I have ever read that I am going to give 0 stars. It is laughably bad. There is a ton of pseudoscience nonsense in this book, and the authors cherry pick “research.” Some of the points they make are obviously correct (fruit is good), while others are blatantly false. No, the food you eat does not change the pH of your body. Human beings can only survive with an extremely narrow pH range, and this is not dependent on food. This incorrect information was repeated over and over. At the end, the authors implied that a woman cured her breast cancer because she left a bad partner??? Extremely bizarre claims with no scientific basis fill this book. Even ignoring all the false information, the writing style is also poor. I seriously hope no one in 2024 is taking this book at face value.
