The frank, "get real" approach of this diet book may be just right for those who have tried and tried without success to lose weight and keep it off. As the title indicates, the language is salty as Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin tell readers just what they must get rid of in their everyday eating: sugar first, followed by meat and dairy. Freedman and Barnouin recommend a vegan lifestyle, and tell why, and then offer more than 75 recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacking. They help readers break through the mental denial about bad food habits, and offer responsible and fun food choices without denying cravings and appetite.
The authors are brazen...They're not trying to win popularity contests...they just want healthy people.

November 01, 2009: I went to the bookstore to actually find books on weight loss while dealing with PCOS (which causes weight gain). Needless to say the bookstore did not have my books and was very rude when I asked them if I was looking in wrong place. Anyways, since I made the 45 mintues trip to the bookstore with friends who were not close to being done looking, I came upon this book, and opened it and read the first page and half of Chapter 8 Pooping, I was laughing outloud, it was hilarous, if only I would have finished this Chapter...I would have maybe looked further into the book before WASTING MY MONEY!! This book I figured would have some foul language in due to the title, but was very shocked when the F bomb was dropped as often as it was. The name calling also got to me. The book started off funny and had me laughing outloud and then took a sad turn for the worse. I thought I had gotten myself into a comical book with GOOD information to help you slim down. But instead this is a book to promote vegan and if you are not vegan then your just a dumb and blacked out from the bourbon, Or the vulagar material in the first few sentences on Chapter 5 just had me lose all disrepect!
If you have had an eatting disorder in the past such as I have, this is not a book for you!! It makes you have all those nasty thoughts about yourself again!! The back of the book should really forewarn people about the books foul language beyond the b**** word, and the books promotion to become vegan. Which I have never had any intentions ever becoming Vegan.I gave this book a one star, because I was not allowed to give it no stars...don't waste your money...I just bought a $14.00 bonfire starter!!Reader Rating:

August 31, 2009: This book will not make me become a vegan but it is great to know and understand what you are eating. Everybody should at least read the book to become aware.
