Praise for Skinny Bitch
“A funny, foul-mouthed ode to adopting a vegan diet.”
—Dwight Garner, New York Times Book Review

“The authors are brazen . . . They’re not trying to win popularity contests . . .
they just want healthy people.”
—Associated Press News Syndicate

“Ready to jump-start [the year] with an electric prod to the system?. . . They tell
it like it is, and without delicacy.”
—Chicago Sun Times

“There’s more solid advice in Skinny Bitch than in most diet and health books.”
—Bitch Magazine

“By no means for the faint hearted . . . this is as hard hitting as it comes!”
—Hot Stars (UK)

“This diet book doesn’t sugar-coat what you have to do to lose weight.”
—Grazia

—Health & Fitness UK

“ . . . an absolutely hilarious read . . . refreshingly in-your-face funny. . . . What
are you waiting for, you moron? Go buy this book!”
—Florida Today

“What makes this diet easy to swallow is the book’s tough-love attitude—part
best-friend counsel, part drill-sergeant abuse and a dash of sailor mouth,
wrapped in a pretty chick-lit package.”
—iVillage, Diet & Fitness
