Skinny Bitch

By: Rory Freedman, Kim Barnouin

Narrated by: Renee Raudman

Length: 4 hrs and 4 mins

Publisher's summary

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".

Critic reviews

"They tell it like it is, and without delicacy." ( Chicago Sun-Times)
"The authors are brazen....They're not trying to win popularity contests...they just want healthy people." ( Associated Press)
"Don't hate them: be them. The authors of Skinny Bitch offer women a no-holds-barred approach to being thin and fabulous." ( Metro)

Embarrassing narration

How could the performance have been better?

My only comment for this audiobook is that the narration was so off the mark - such a poor choice of narrator. I can put up with a lot if its the actual author reading their own work, but why the hell did the publishers select this 'easy-listening' narrator to read the tongue-in-cheek text of Skinny Bitch? It's so cringe-worthy and embarrassing to listen to this woman curse or try to exhibit any level of sassiness, which is the cornerstone of the Skinny Bitch brand. They should have done their due diligence in selecting a female narrator whose delivery wouldn't make you feel like you were watching Helen from Accounts Payable doing a rap performance at the office Christmas party.

Strict diet book

I thought this book was more about day to day eating habits that keep someone healthy and maintaining their weight with nutritional guidance. While there is dietary eating habits it basically is a strict vegan type diet book. Leaving not much left to eat. Good for someone wanting to go that route but wasn’t what I was looking for.

GREAT INFORMATION

This book was very eye opening. It made me not want to eat the foods I've eaten all my life. It was a lot of cursing...a little harsh at times, but I would pass it on to a friend. Not my Christian mother, but definatly some of my friends.

I loved this book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This book was amazing!!! I wasn't expecting what was written when I purchased this book. However I couldn't stop listening. It has totally open my eyes. I'm sure that I will come back to this audible book for more knowledge.. Thank you ladies for writing this book.

IGNORE THE TITLE!!

this book was recommended to me by my daughter who was concerned about my health--i HAD (notice past tense!!) all sorts of medical issues which were caused/exacerbated by my lousy life-style. this book turned my life around--this itty-bitty, crappy-named book!! grab your kleenex and read/listen when you can concentrate!! you won't believe you have been so stupid and so blind to what is going on with your food, your life!! this is another book that i give/recommend to EVERYONE! please DO NOT LET THE TITLE and the few very crude comments/references TURN YOU OFF! this is a book with a message everyone should hear. and mothers--do your daughters a favor (and vice-versa!!)--encourage them to read this book.

GREAT !!!!!!! Funny and Informative reading

Very good book. Informative, and a great help in anyone trying to change, or adjust a BAD diet. Also information concering the Government Agencies, and their money grabbing ways of damaging the health of Americans. That part is SCARRY, but a good information guide.

THANK YOU

Changed my life!

This book is written in such an enjoyable manner. I felt that I was listening to a girlfriend talk some sense into me. I have changed my life to Vegitarian and on my way to Vegan after being raised a farm girl. My husband is also open to trying my new way of living, but at a slower pace. My kids will benefit beyond imagination can tell. I recommend this book to anyone and everyone. It has opened my eyes and I feel better after just he first week.

Interesting and captivating journey through food

Hilariously written and highly enjoyable. It should come with a warning about one chapter's very graphic descriptions of how meat is raised, handled and slaughtered. Seriously not for the squeamish. So many really good insights that aside from that one issue, it's a great read (listen).

Not Your Mother's Diet Book!!

This book has interesting statistics and information and it is presented to you in a WAKE UP, startling, truck driver dialogue. Sometimes I found it funny and sometimes just plain vulgar. The essential message is about being Vegan, which is a good choice and the authors share a compelling opinion. I think the message is important but it is only one and one that is not for me! But some of the priniciples they shared, I did change in my diet on way to being my own brand of sassy Skinny Bitch!

good information

good information and it kept my attention. It was very well delivered. highly recommended. looking forward to making life changes for myself with the information I got from this book.
