Review

"What makes this diet easy to swallow is the book's tough-love attitude - part best friend counsel, part drill-sergeant abuse and a dash of sailor mouth, wrapped in a pretty chick-lit package." I-Village, Diet and Fitness"

Review

Hartford Courant
“…incredibly informative and entertaining… Co-authors Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin provide tough-love talk mixed with facts and common sense...

Freedman and Bamouin speak to the reader like a friend who isn't afraid to tell you what's on her mind. They back up their arguments by citing study after study and take the technical talk out of the discussion so as to make a more easily digested point.

This is the first "diet" book I've ever read that has made me laugh out loud numerous times. That being said, since no one warned me, I'll let you in on a secret - the book will gross you out. In the same vein as Fast Food Nation, there are graphic descriptions of factory farming and unsanitary dairy farm practices. It was easy for me to put down Fast Food Nation but this book is so funny, I had to keep going.

Almost immediately, I was one of the transformed. In fact, as soon as I got halfway through Chapter 4, "The Dead, Rotting Decomposing Flesh Diet", I had to call and change my dinner plans because I decided to go vegan on the spot.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Not For Everyone, Jui 21 2007
This is a book for women who want to lose weight. Its catch is that it uses 'straight talk' to convey its ideas about how to lose weight. Do not buy this book if you are offended by profanity, which is abundant in the book. I can't really say that this is a 'diet' book, rather it is more of a diet 'method' book which teaches you what and what not to do and you go from there.

The book starts out by telling you quite bluntly (which is the tone of the whole book) what you need to give up, such as smoking and soda. A large part of the book is devoted to telling the reader what to eat and what not to eat. It covers areas such as carbs, sugars, meats, protein, etc. Some of the ideas can come across a bit controversial at times, but the authors do cite their sources which they are to be commended for doing. The book also contains a pretty big list of foods that are okay to buy in case you get confused. All-in-all its an easy to read book that is fairly short and easy to follow. However, the tone of the book will not appeal to everyone. Also recommend The Sixty-Second Motivator as dietary changes are useless unless you're motivated to stick with them.

1.0étoiles sur 5 Don't buy this book, Nov. 24 2009
Par S. Hoyles (Gander, Newfoundland, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
I agree with the other review about this being a guide to being vegan.
I would give it NO stars if the site would let me...
These "bitches" seem to think that the only way you can lose weight and be skinny is to be a Califorian ex-model vegan, not overly realistic!!
I got sucked in my a fun title and the first few chapters being quite informative. Then its all crazy vegan!
I have a degree in Agriculture and they are referencing sources and I have my doubts they have ever been in the places they are writing about and we all don't live in places with vegan grocery stores and have all of these "acceptable" products at our disposable. And besides I can be a skinny bitch if I eat an egg!!! Give me a break!!
The biggest reason you should not buy this book is the last page "disclaimer" that after they have berated you for so many chapters and called you every name in the book for not being a size 4 they stick in a page at the end that says you should love you body at any size and the book (called skinny bitch I might add) is all about getting healthy.
Save your money and get a happy meal and then go for a nice brisk walk afterwards!!

1.0étoiles sur 5 A Guide to Going Vegan, Oct. 7 2009
Par S. Henderson - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This book was definitely not what I was anticipating. From the cover it seemed like a practical guide for women who need to get motivated and start changing their eatting habits that fits their busy lives, etc.

The first couple of chapters seemed to fit into this assumption with some humour mixed in, however by the chapter that attempts to debunk the Atkins diet philosophy it was all down hill from there.

After this they went on to talk about how terrible the meat and dairy industries are, "inhumane" slaughter practices, and how you shouldn't trust government regulations. Working for a meat company I know for a fact that all meat companies DO NOT use inhumane practices. I have been to a kill floor and although it's not pleasant, it's certainly NOT what they describe in this book.

The only chapter that really seemed worth while was one of the last instructing you to use your own brain. So that's what I suggest with this book....if you don't want to be vegan and spend tons of money on organic foods, don't waste your money and don't buy this book because it's the only advice that it really gives.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Wow! Much more than I ever anticipated!
This book has more than meets the eye.

My expectation was a witty, motivational weight loss book in somewhat of a edgy, chick-lit fashion.
