If you haven’t read the Skinny Bitch yet, you should be warned! This is a book by two smart-mouthed girlfriends who do NOT sugar coat anything. Not everyone will agree with everything these ladies have to say, however they do back up their statements by mentioning research that has been done on the particular subjects. Below are some favorite segments taken from the book:
-Cigarettes are for losers. They are so 1989 and totally uncool.
-Habitual drinking equals fat-pig syndrome.
-Beer is for frat boys, not skinny bitches.
-When you have a hangover, you’re bound to eat shit all day long.
-Soda is liquid Satan. And the last time we checked, sugar, found in soda by the boatload does not make you skinny!
-Perhaps you have a lumpy ass because you are preserving your fat cells with diet soda.
-Whenever you see the words “fat-free” or “low-fat” think of the words “chemical shit storm”.
Caffeine – If you can’t wake up without it, it’s because you are either addicted to caffeine, sleep deprived, or a generally unhealthy slob. So every single morning, you are starting the day with a dose of poison.
Junk Food – Candy bars, potatoes chips and ice cream taste like heaven of course. But they will pitch a tent on your hips and camp out all year.
Carbs – Simple carbohydrates suck and are as nutritionally beneficial as toilet paper.
Sugar – Sugar is like crack and food manufacturers know that if they add it to their products, you’ll keep coming back for more. Refined sugar has no nutritional value. And it’s usually in foods that contain gobs of fat, lots of useless calories, and loads of cholesterol.
Meat – Your body can’t handle animal fat, so it settles like lumpy shit all over your ass, thighs, sides, arms and stomach. Every time you consume factory-farmed chicken, beef, veal, pork, eggs or diary, you are eating antibiotics, pesticides, steroids and hormones.
Cheese – Virtually 100% of the cheese products produced and sold in the US has detectable pesticide residues.
Eggs – When you eat eggs, you are ingesting all the same hormones, pesticides, chemicals and steroids as if you were eating the chicken directly.
Even if you don’t lean towards a vegetarian and organic diet, as these ladies do, this information is definitely interesting. If you would like to know more, pick up the Skinny Bitch book. After all, as they say, you are what you eat.
