Customer Reviews
Garbage - Ashley Lucchese - Chicago, IL
First, consider the authors. One is a "self-taught know-it-all" and one has a Masters of Science in Holistic Nutrition, but does not list the school on the book jacket. Turns out the degree was obtained through correspondence classes from an unaccredited college.
The main crux of the book is getting "healthy," which in turn, will make you "skinny." I urge anyone who is truly interested in getting healthy to avoid this book. Consult your doctor and for reading material heralding eating real foods and suggestions for easing into a wholesale change in diet, pick up Michael Pollan's In Defense of Food.
It is difficult to praise even the positive tenets of the book, like limiting consumption of foodstuffs with artificial additives, because each page is riddled with scare-tactic, biased information, based more on opinion than fact. Not to mention, the book is teeming with expletives and a condescending, disrespectful tone.
Well, they got the "Bitch" part right - Heather - Wisconsin United States
I gave this book a rating of two partially because of the condescending attitude and partially because I thought the title was misleading. I thought I'd be reading a book that gave healthy eating and exercising tips, most likely in a humorous way. Instead it's a book telling you unless you are a vegan who only eats organic, you're stupid (along with a variety of other names you are called throughout the book unless you are doing exactly what the authors believe in) and killing yourself and your family.
There isn't a middle ground, such as suggesting that if you can't afford to eat everything organic start with trying to buy organic fruits or vegetables. Instead, it's an all or nothing approach. I did get a few good and interesting tidbits of information (like good sugar substitutes), but it's overshadowed by the name-calling.
I think the underlying message is good, that we need to cut out the bad "chemicals" that are in our foods and the unhealthy eating, but I already lean that way (I don't eat red meat and a large portion of my groceries are organic), so I was able to get through the book with a lot of eye-rolling, but without just throwing it down in disgust. Unfortunately, I'm afraid that they will turn off a lot of readers with the all or nothing and if you don't see it that way you're a f*&%ing idiot approach.
Terrible book, don't waste your time - Kari D'Amico - San Jose, CA
This has got to be the worst diet book I've ever read. Obviously they have an agenda and it has NOTHING to do with getting women to eat healthy. What the hell does make-up, lotions and toothpaste have to do with healthy eating? Ok, I get the whole my skin is an organ thing, SO WHAT!!!
DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!! I feel ripped off. Not only did I pay money but invested my time to read this garbage.
