| Synopsis Not your typical boring diet book, this is a tart-tongued,
no-holds-barred wakeup call to all women who want to be thin. With such
blunt advice as, "Soda is liquid Satan" and "You are a total moron if
you think the Atkins Diet will make you thin," it's a rallying cry for
all savvy women to start eating healthy and looking radiant. Unlike
standard diet books, it actually makes the reader laugh out loud with
its truthful, smart-mouthed revelations. Behind all the attitude,
however, there's solid guidance. Skinny Bitch
espouses a healthful lifestyle that promotes whole grains, fruits, and
vegetables, and encourages women to get excited about feeling "clean
and pure and energized."
