Skinny Bitch

Once in a decade, a book comes along that you just want to share with the world! Skinny Bitch is a "no-nonsense, tough-love guide for savvy girls who want to stop eating crap and start looking fabulous!" The enlightening book is written by two non-strangers to the topic, Kim Barnouin, a former model, and Rory Freedman, a former agent for Ford Models. This book is not your typical boring diet book, this is a tart-tongued, no-holds-barred wakeup call to all women who want to be thin. 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." The authors also include a whole list of acceptable junk foods such as cookies and ice-cream, keeping the diet advice realistic to those of us who wouldn't want to go on if we were deprived of it.

The authors explain that dieters should not feel like they are giving up foods, instead they are replacing them with other better foods. Although Kim Barnouin and Rory Freedman are in the modeling industry, they do embody a quality we can all relate to- they love to eat! They refer to themselves as "total pigs who love eating all day long." They explain that they didn't become healthy eaters overnight-it took years to get rid of old, bad habits. Their knowledge was their best defense, "It’s hard to enjoy unhealthy food once you learn exactly how bad it is for you."

If you want to start feeling like a goddess, treat your body like a temple. You will not only look better on the outside, you will feel a newly found energy on the inside. Start your diet with this hilarious read that reminds you- the best time to start making changes is now!
