Diet Review – “Skinny Bitch” Diet

     If the name of the diet doesn’t shock you then the diet itself will!  Many of the girls at my work have read this book.  Due to the graphic nature of the info in the book about meat products; many of them have stopped eating meat all together! 

Is it time for a rude awakening about the way you’re eating? Do you need a serious kick in the pants to get motivated? Then put down that junk food and grab a copy of the hot diet book, Skinny Bitch.

Penned by two fiery and passionate best friends who are proud to call themselves skinny bitches, it’s the cold splash in the face any gal living an unhealthy lifestyle needs. Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin call Skinny Bitch “A no-nonsense, tough-love guide for savvy girls who want to stop eating crap and start looking fabulous.” Skinny Bitch is definitely telling it to you straight – the way your best girlfriend would tell you over a cocktail.

These girls make no apologies for the attitude, wit, and even the language found in this colorful guide to basically getting your ass in gear once and for all. They refer to sugar as “the devil” and themselves as “pigs”, and encourage you to get a “sweet ass.” They love food just as much as anyone. But, they’ve also learned a successful way to enjoy food and enjoy eating without depriving themselves and maintaining sexy little bodies. The book is backed by hard-hitting scientific evidence to back all of their claims and recommendations.

 

FOOD & RECIPES

Skinny Bitch lets you eat all the carb-packed goodness you could ever want. Oh yeah- bread, potatoes, pasta, cakes, cookies and muffins. Of course, nothing good ever comes for free, so what’s the catch? No dairy. No meat. No sugar or artificial sweetners. Sound a little vegan? That’s because it is – Skinny Bitch is even endorsed by PETA.

The world is becoming more and more accommodating to the vegan and organic lifestyle. You can find many approved items even at your favorite grocery store, including organic fruits and vegetables; whole grain breads, tortillas, and pasta; brown rice; sweet and red potatoes; beans and nuts for protein; as well as a variety of goodies like organic chips, sweets made sweeter with organic, unprocessed sugars found in syrup or raw sugar. Seriously, the list goes on.

These skinny girls don’t like to feel hungry and they don’t like to feel like they’re being deprived. And they know you’re the exact same way. There’s plenty to eat when you decide to make the switch to Skinny Bitch. The basic premise is simple: being skinny means being healthy. The two ideas are not independent of one another. They come right out and show the flaws of some of the more popular diets around, probably some you’ve followed yourself. They say in the end, those diet programs are quick fixes that will never help you get a grip on your overall health and wellness.

Skinny Bitch will educate you about the foods you’re eating, how and why they have the effects on your body that they do and where you’ve been going wrong all along. They release you from the constraints of counting calories, but tell you to start reading all of those food labels.

CONCLUSION

 

 

What the heck are you waiting for? Skinny Bitch takes away any excuses you might have had. Once you start reading, it won’t be long before you’re proudly announcing that you too are a Skinny Bitch. This book is available online and through all major booksellers (source).

Personally, I have my doubts about this diet.  I have trained many clients over the years.  The ones with the highest body fat and lack of muscle mass all have one thing in common; they are all vegetarians!  Vegetarians have trouble getting enough protein to support a health muscle mass ratio.  However, I absolutely agree with the authors opinion on dairy.  Dairy should be avoided!  There are many other ways to get your calcium.
