5 stars for information, 1 star for turning me completely off of cheese and dairy, think cooked cow puss. 3 stars for writing in an updated liberated naughty sort of way that made me laugh.

"Skinny Bastard", from the authors of "Skinny Bitch" is a weight loss how-to book.
A large part of the book reviews the deleterious effects of eating animal products, reviews the unhealthy conditions in which animal products are produced and reviews how various government regulatory agencies are corrupt in favor of big business to the detriment of consumer safety.
The authors also encourage the reader to quit soda, quit smoking, reduce drinking and minim More...

picked this up at a book swap at work, and maybe my take on it isn't fair since I'm not actually looking to overhaul my eating habits at this point. Impassioned, sometimes funny, polemic favoring vegan diet with lots of organic fruits/vegetables and no alcohol or caffeine. Side trips to recommend smoking cessation and increased exercise. Long diatribes about how animals are treated in the food production process, failure of FDA etc. to avoid conflict of interest and actually protect the food

I'm not sure what to make of this one. I picked this one up on my quest to better my knowledge of nutrition. There are a lot of books and ideas on nutrition out there, so it's hard for me to believe anything I read or hear on the subject. I rated it three (3) stars, because as a non-fiction book, I felt pretty neutral about it.
Some things I did like was that the authors made it a point to cite their sources, which include some research studies. (For example, "The China Study More...

I picked up this book, Skinny Bastard by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin, from my local library after hearing UFC fighter Jon Fitch recommend it in an online video.
Supposedly this is a straight shooting book aimed at men and getting them to clean up their diet after the success of Skinny Bitch by the same authors, unfortunately it’s nothing more than a mixture of vegan propaganda, half truths and outright lies.

Why I Read this Book: Health is a constant area of study for me. These women have done the research and have a simple lifestyle that works. I’ve experienced it.
Review:
I know what you’re thinking…”What on earth is Reading For Your Success doing posting a review on a book with a title like this?” How could that possibly be related to true health or success? Well, as my mom taught me early on not to judge a book by it’s cover, it took me a couple years but I finally got past More...

i've read "skinny bitch" a couple of years ago, so when my male co-worker started asking me more and more questions about veganism i recommended this book. it's the dude version. i read it when he was done for a couple of reasons. first, i wanted a refresher. these books have an unbelievable amount of useful nutrition information in a quick easy reader. also, i wanted to see how they differed. freedman and barnouin wrote this book in the same in your face, humorous way as the other. i

This audiobook comes off as a manifesto from a pair of angry, foul-mouthed, animal-activist, vegans. They are pissed at the whole meat industry for being what they are and try to scare the listener away from anything to do with meat in all its permutations by giving graphic examples of animal treatment.
As if that isn’t enough, when there is a lack of cognitive thought process, they resort to foul-mouthed named calling which is really just a half-step up from knuckle dragging. The on More...

Extremely funny but extremely frightening expose on the major myths surrounding dieting. The importance of drinking water, avoiding diet drinks (the chapter on aspartame will scare you half to death) and what really goes into fast food. Ugh.
But the writing is brilliant and parts of it are laugh out loud funny. And it will encourage men to make a real effort to watch their diets and exercise.

I really ejoyed the sarcastic and quick wit which the author narrates the book. It really opened my eyes about the food processing industry and offer some okay advise for men who want to be "Skinny Bastards". However, I don't think many of the tips are realistic. When I finished the book all I walked away with was be a vegetarian or you are just killing your body.

What a disappointment. I bought the book for my husband when I bought Skinny Bitch for myself only to find out that it is the exact same book! A few changed words and one added/deleted chapter or two and that's it. I feel like I bought the same book twice. Don't waste your money, all you need is one or the other.

I started this book thinking it was going to be a diet book written in a sassy manner, but it ended up being very research-based and persuasive. It basically made me want to become a Vegan, but it was very informational and fact-based. I loved it.

I picked this up just because glancing through it in an airport bookstore made me chuckle. It's actually got some great info about food, diet, vegetarianism and veganism. I was pleasantly surprised.

So, the secret to a long & healthy life is be a vegan.
That's my contribution to you, so you don't have to read this book. I've read most of what it contains in other more relevant titles that present this information in a much less brash and condescending manner.

This book is funny, a fast read, and surprisingly well researched, sourced, and informative. I loved it. Really one of those books that you aren't the same after reading it.

Interesting verbage used throughout as they really over-simplified food rules, but as a result the book can sound condescending at times. I had heard most of this before, buy it was good to read it in the form of a "book for dummies" format.
