Skinny Bitch

By: Rory Freedman, Kim Barnouin

Narrated by: Renee Raudman

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 is 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".

Skinny bitch is the best

I loved the direct attitude in the book, tell us how it is! A must read for sure.

I love this book!!

Very comprehensive & makes choosing veganism very easy. Also very informative and was able to hold my attention.

Dated information. Funny though.

I love this book. I think it's hilarious and the narrator did a good job. The information for the most part is really helpful, but since it's publication, more science has come out about sugary products like agave syrup and brown rice syrup, etc... That stuff definitely WILL make you fat, so I consider this book to have outdated information.

Read it for amusing inspiration, but do you nutrition homework to ensure you got all the facts.

Eye opener

When diving into this book, I didn't realize the information could be so great! Before listening, I wasn't all for being a vegetarian or vegan. I knew the horrors that animals went through to be on my plate, but I just simply didn't think about it. The authors really drill it into you and go into such detail that I have the want to stop eating meat altogether. Their info was so spot on and eye opening.

This Book Changed My Life

7 years ago I became pregnant. My mom gave me this book. HOLY SHIT! It opened my eyes to a whole new world which led to my career path of becoming a Healthy Lifestyle Coach and my own company of Healthy Badass Company. I have been learning more and more and became a Nutrition Consultant, Personal Trainer, Life Coach and Yoga Instructor. I wanted to save the world after this book telling everyone everywhere the dangerous lies that have been going on behind out backs. Not only do I love how these women talk but I love how inspiring they are. DEFINITELY A MUST READ!!

Don't read if you want to keep eating meat

A truly heart wrenching look into the meat industry, covered in humor and raunchy honesty.

Rare Candor In A Diet Book

Renee Raudman does an excellent narration. This book is a "must read/listen" :-) Rory & Kim are bang-on with their observations about the food industry and the impact it has on societies around the world as well as excellent insights into losing excess weight.

amazing

this book really brings things to your attention. opened up my eyes to what is really going on.

skinny bitch

loved the info. hated how dirty mouth it all was. swearing, nasty comparisons, etc. However, that said, I do want to become a skinny B. I would BUY this book instead of listening to it because there are websites and brand names that you will want to have written down.

Pros and cons

The good news is that this book is very powerful in making you question what you always thought to be true about your food, diet requirements, and taking control of your health and provides a lot of research to back itself up.

The bad news is this book is not for the faint of ear. I curse but this book had more profane language than even I was comfortable with. In addition, the book is designed to motivate the unmotivated. If you’re already motivated it just feels like chapter after chapter of shaming which I’m not personally a fan of and being an audio book it’s trickier to skip over parts you don’t necessarily need to hear.

Finally, the narrator’s vocal volume isn’t consistent. Listening to this in the car was difficult as road noise drowns out her normal volume when she speaks to the science behind our food (the parts I really wanted to hear) but in turning up the volume she is practically shouting at you to stop being a fucking pussy seconds later. That gets old very quickly.

Overall a decent read but the style certainly isn’t for everyone.
