That book, Skinny Bitch, is the most hilarious book ever. It's so abusive and brutally honest, and actually made me wanna get my arse to the gym. So that's a plus =)
So far it talks about why carbs aren't the devil, why sugar is, and why you should probably be a vegetarian. Which to me, is the craziest thing ever, because I definately love meat. But it puts up a damn good argument, and I'm seriously considering it. It's also very informative on the sorts of things that are put into food. And it swears rather a lot, haha. But it makes sense to me, and I think everyone has to find their own thing that works for them.
But good luck, which ever way you decide to lose it.
