  <default_description>Not your typical boring diet book, this is a tart-tongued, no-holds-barred wake-up call to all women who want to be thin. With such blunt advice as, &quot;Soda is liquid Satan&quot; and &quot;You are a total moron if you think the Atkins Diet will make you thin,&quot; it's a rallying cry for all savvy women to start eating healthy and looking radiant. Unlike standard diet books, it actually makes the reader laugh out loud with its truthful, smart-mouthed revelations. Behind all the attitude, however, there's solid guidance. &lt;I&gt;Skinny Bitch&lt;/I&gt; espouses a healthful lifestyle that promotes whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, and encourages women to get excited about feeling &quot;clean and pure and energized.&quot;</default_description>
