“Skinny Bitch” Book Gets Frank
Well, I have to admit, the title of this book is hilarious to me, maybe because I’ve actually used this phrase in jest before when describing a woman who I secretly am jealous of for maintaining a fabulous figure while seemingly not even trying to do so. The book “Skinny Bitch” is a coauthored book about dieting, or the anti diet, that reportedly is selling like hotcakes after Posh Spice, AKA Victoria Beckham, the notoriously skinny and ripped mother of three boys and rich as sin wife of hottie David Beckham, bought a copy of the sizzling success.
What you’ll find is mostly common sense advice, put forth in a no nonsense manner, and some advice that you may not expect, like to stay away from meats and cheeses, and other foods that are nutritionally void or have very little fiber content or nutritional traces after digesting. In fact the coauthor of the book actually says that she promotes a vegan diet, which is a diet free of all animal products and byproducts. That means no dairy whatsoever, butter, milk, cheese, eggs, etc, and no meats at all.
She says that these natural products actually encourage the evacuation of toxins and fats from our body more naturally instead of tending to clog the body as meats and cheeses and dairies can do when they are consumed. I will say, I’ve tried the vegan diet, and it’s not as hard as some may think to adhere to. In fact, if you have digestive or colon issues, a vegan diet is probably one of the best diets you can adhere to.
Vegans can go wrong too though. Being a vegan doesn’t mean you can shovel in french fries. It still means you should be making wise choices and eating plenty of veggies, fruits, and non-animal products that will cleanse instead of clog the body. A vegan can be the anti “skinny bitch”, and in fact be pudgy, although it’s rare, but this can happen if poor food choices abound and high fat, low nutritional value foods that are starchy and clogging are chosen.
Hmm, I was wondering when the day would come when the Atkins diet would be on the way out, and a more high carb (good carb) diet would be the “in” thing again. In fact, I looked forward to it, since this is the type of diet I prefer naturally, and the time is finally here - at least it appears it may be. Diets always go in fads such as hoodia gums, and I’m sure we’ll see this fade and come back many times in our lifetime, but it is the best way to eat if you ask a lot of people, no matter what the fad is at the time!
