Book Reviews of Skinny Bitch
Book Review: An eye opener to becoming Vegan
Summary: 3 Stars
This book is a good read and the authors choice of words are hilarious, vulgur and true...."Don't be a Pussy" is one of the chapter titles and a great one if that. I appreciated their eye opening information about the way animals are raised and killed. I have always just chose to block out the mental image and enjoy some good meat( Personally i just eat chicken and fish). However, reading the disgusting and disturbing details about how animals suffer and die with fear and anxiety, has changed my mind to becoming a vegetarian. On the other hand, the reason I gave this book 3 stars is because the authors expect you to BECOME STRICTLY VEGAN. No dairy, meat, eggs, caffienne, or liquior and everything purchased and chewed must be organic. They did not offer much information on how to approach this massive lifestyle change. Instead, they suggested eliminating one food or vice item(smoking) at time. Although, the book made me realize I do need to make some changes, I feel it is a little impractical to rid so many things from your life in such a short time. Also, I consider myself a skinny bitch and for years I have consumed dairy. However, the book made me realize I am not the most Healthiest skinny bitch and for that I am appreciative. Give it a try.....be open minded to the entire VEGAN diet. You'll laugh and be totally disgusted by the descriptive details of meat. Overall its worth a try!Book Review: Informative and fun
Summary: 4 Stars
These two skinny bitches had me laughing out loud and make great points along the way. They take a cold hard look at everything we put into our bodies, from cigarettes and caffeine, to sugars, dairy and meat. This is not a fad diet book, but a book about the change of your whole lifestyle. It is written for intelligent women who respect animals, the environment, and their own bodies, and who also want to get skinny! This book is not about how to become a vegan, but about opening your eyes to the things we consume that caused us to be the fattest nation in the world. I recommend this book because it's a fast read, informative and fun. My other recommendation goes for a more serious book titled "Can We Live 150?" These two books should be sold in one package.
Book Review: Waste of Money
Summary: 1 Stars
This is not a diet book. It is a 200 page rant by a couple of animal rights activists. Don't waste your money - buy a book written by a dietician rather than a model and a model's agent. Complete and utter crap.Book Review: At last a diet that works
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a great diet for me as I'm already a vegan, 45 and have been 4 stone overweight for 10 years at least. Even vegans can eat junk food!!! I've finally lost weight using the common sense in this book! It's all so obvious I could slap myself - Duh!
However I can imagine that this may seem like an extreme diet for avid meat eaters, I myself went down the vegetarian route before going vegan so this may not suit everyone.
It's nice to see positive views about vegans being aired though and I'd definitely say any middle aged or elderly woman with stubborn fat can lose weight on this diet.
Book Review: No stone unturned in the fight against indulgence
Summary: 5 Stars
Harsh but fair! The book makes you realise we'd all be better campaigning against multi million pound food companies than being carbon neutral. Too the point and easy to read even the gory bits - I did look away from some of the tales. I don't think I can commit to 100% veganism but I will apply the 80/20 rule. From now on 80% of the time I will be the best vegan I can and do it for all the right reasons. Then I think 20% of the time I can have the odd piece of fish, meat and a bit of cheese. The junk is going going gone!
