    Synopsis

    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.

    Energy Times

    ...have achieved the seemingly impossible by writing a diet book that's as sassy and entertaining as it is packed with reliable information.

    June 23, 2009: I thought I was buying a book that was going to tell me things I already know like, "You can't eat cupcakes and chips and expect to get skinny." I was right and wrong. This book tells you how to get healthy! And skinny! It is intelligently written, engaging, motivating, truthful, and thought provoking. If you really want to know the truth about what you're eating, in a well researched but readable way, this book is absolutely for you. This book encourages veganism, but even if you don't want to be a vegan or a vegetarian, read this book to educate yourself and empower yourself to buy foods that are healthy for you and produced in a responsible way. The truth is that if you really want to be healthy, environmentally responsible, and skinny you will eat less or no meat or dairy products. We are stewards of this earth. Our bodies are precious. This book can inspire you to take care of both.

    June 20, 2009: I bought this book and was initially intrigued by the tone of the book. It made me laugh and the first chapter was good (I read it at the store before purchasing). However, once I got home and continued reading over the next two days it became clear this was a book for vegans. No where on the back, cover, or first chapter do the authors make this clear. I kept reading anyway and while informative, the descriptive stories of animal cruelty seemed to be more of a way to convert those who were not vegans. I began to feel like I was mislead into buying a diet/lifestyle book that then turned out to be vegan history and how-to book. I returned it and purchased the book "Volumetrics" which I was much happier with. I have nothing against those who choose not to eat meat or those who choose to eat only organic and I don't try to push on them all the reasons why I believe meat is an important part of a diet. I expect the same. It would be one thing if I bought the book knowing what I was getting into but again, I felt mislead.
