"STOP BEING A MORON AND START GETTING SKINNY!"
Yep, uh huh, this book is a real motivator for weight loss for any woman who may be a little self conscious about her weight. Written by two former “major players” in the modeling industry, Kim Barnouin (former model turned Holistic Nutritionist), and Rory Freedman (former Ford Model agent and know-it-all) claim to be your smart mouthed annoying nagging girlfriends when it comes to your diet. Modeling industry? I know, I know,*rolls eyes* you think the book would start and end with “Snort coke”, but don't worry, these self proclaimed skinny b*tches are there to empower women to make wise and educated food choices.
So what’s their secret?
Well I would be more than delighted to spill the beans.
Do not eat pork, beef, chicken, eggs, fish, dairy products (kiss ice cream, cheese, and milk goodbye), anything listing refined sugars/sweeteners as an ingredient (so anything that tastes yummy is a huge no no!), refined carbs (white bread and rice, which is reasonable), caffeine (no morning coffee and no soda pop either), and non organic veggies and fruit. So everything you have in your fridge right now, throw it out! It’s going to slowly kill you!
Instead enjoy healthy alternatives to real food the nasty disgusting food you were eating before. Don’t eat animal protein, eat vegan alternatives that is suppose to taste like beef/chicken/pork, but always ends up tasting like tofu in sauce. Don’t eat sugar, eat molasses. Don’t drink milk, drink almond milk. Don’t eat that disgusting red apple, eat the ORGANIC red apple. See so simple!
Overall, the book was entertaining, but to follow the strict regimen they set out for their reader takes more than discipline. It would require someone to sit at home, eat molasses, and have a weird food obsession. Which absolutely does NOT sound like an eating disorder at all! Although, I have to admit the book did provide me some insight into the food industry and made me think twice about some of my own food choices, so it was not a complete waste of time or my $18.00.
***Ooo and in a couple chapters they go off on this PETAish rant about animal cruelty. PETA (to me) is like this weird granola animal lovin' cult, watch South Park episode (I forget), but you’ll know what I’m talking about.

PETA is more than a granola loving cult, it's a bunch of hypocrites. If the celebrities they pay so much to endorse their group knew that their animal rescues kill 85% of the animals they take in they'd turn and run the other way. The whole point of a rescue is to SAVE the animal from getting killed, dipshits. Okay, rant over. Anyway, sounds like an interesting book but I'm glad you spilled it for us so I didn't pay $18 to find out veganism is how they stay skinny. I'm gonna go have a glass of milk, some coffee, and something made with animals.

2Amen to that, sticky.
By the way, sunny, I LOVE that South Park ep!! Hilarious!!!
3LOL Sticky, I'm having a steak tonight!
4What a bunch of hippies! Ahahaha!
Love the South Park reference!
Sticky, you totally crack me up..as usual.
All one has to do to lose weight is lower their daily caloric intake. It's that simple. One can still eat whatever food they want..just lower your caloric intake. It's way faster than exercise..and if your consistent about it..the weight falls off. I've seen this in many people. (I'm not saying don't exercise..I'm just saying eat less calories & the weight will seriously come off.) One just has to be determined, patient, have will-power, and most importantly be consistent. Also, don't be hard on yourself if you slip up ever so often..it's just a tiny speed bump and continue your routine the following day.
5Thanks for the heads up! I'll remember to pass on it if I ever come across it.
6I hate PETA. And don't worry, that's not the only thing I got out of your wonderfully sarcastic review.
Just something I want to throw out there.
7I read this book and while it was definitely biased towards a vegan lifestyle there was some interesting information in there. A bit harsh for my taste in the way it was presented, I still was glad I read it. (and even keep it for a reference if necessary), it's just not a lifestyle for me.
