Praise
"A funny foul-mouthed ode . . . ”
The New York Times Book Review

“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

“It made me laugh . . .”
— Marie Claire UK

Skinny Bitch cover


"A cleverly titled book with useful information on healthy eating..."
— Elle UK

"Don't hate them—be them. The authors of Skinny Bitch offer women a no-holds-barred approach to being thin and fabulous."
— Metro

“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

“As the authors rightly point out, thanks to slick marketing and food-industry lobbying, we’ve reached such a collective level of ignorance about health and nutrition that a diet telling us to eat lots of meat and no fruit becomes wildly successful. ‘You are a total moron if you think the Atkins Diet will make you thin’ they tell us. Harsh? Yes. But it’s also true. …there’s more solid advice in Skinny Bitch than in most diet and health books.”
Bitch, Anniversary Issue

“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

“Sensible advice . . .”
—Health & Fitness UK

“Kim Barnouin, a former model with an MS in Holistic Nutrition and Rory Freedman, a former modeling agent, have achieved the seemingly impossible by writing a diet book that’s as sassy and entertaining as it is packed with reliable information.”
Energy Times

“This book is an absolutely hilarious read because the authors treat you like they know you well. They yell at you, they insult you and they call you some very nasty names. But since they are giving out their strongly-held beliefs and advice on living a healthy lifestyle — and you know in your heart they're right — it is refreshingly in-your-face funny.”
— Cathy Mathias, Florida Today

"Skinny Bitch is outrageous, wickedly irreverent, and right on the mark. Any young woman who pays attention to this book will become healthier, thinner, and more powerful."
— John Robbins, best-selling author of Diet For A New America and Healthy at 100

Skinny Bitch combines a ‘take no prisoners’ attitude with cogent analysis and scientific proof to make an engaging, wickedly irreverent, and iron-clad case for eating healthfully. If I had it in my power, I’d provide a free copy to every young woman in the developed world; we could then become, instead of the fattest next generation in history, the healthiest.”
— Ingrid Newkirk, President, PETA

"Skinny Bitch dishes up scientifically sound information that will change your health and your life. Its 'in-your-face' approach is at once engaging and humorous, and belies its serious and well-researched underbelly. It’s the spark that will start your personal revolution. Pick it up. Read every last word. Healthy and skinny you will be."
— Amy Joy Lanou, Ph.D., Senior Nutrition Scientist, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine
