 Rating:  - Buy this book for what it is, not what it says it isIt's not that I object to messages about the benefits of a vegan lifestyle (which many of my close friends practice btw) or that I mind direct, candid, witty communications. HOWEVER - I strongly object to being mislead into making a purchase by positioning that totally misrepresents the intent of the manufacturer or in this case, the authors. The last page says it best "P.S. Wait! We have a confession to make. We really couldn't care less about being skinny." which follows by we only care about the ... Read More Rating: - hated it!I was on board with this book (in audio form) initially, then they got into meat, and were really zealots about it! I have nothing against Vegan folks, to each their own, but this book was disguised as a funny get real book about weight loss, that turned into some kind of podium for why we must all be Vegan! Shame on you for not being more upfront about what this book is really about. Rating: - Waste of money and timeThis book is a misleading waste of time. I couldn't get past half way through and that was only by making myself keep reading. Why the "f" word is needed is beyond me. This is not really about getting skinny, staying skinny or anything else of that nature. This book is about bashing the cattle industry, the dairy industry and anything that doesn't have to do with being a vegan. Whoop tee doo!!! They need to just say up front that they hate people who eat anything except vegatables and fruits and ... Read More Rating: - This book gave me a headacheI did not like this book. I thought it was a string of random statements without facts or explanations to back them up. I found it to be entirely lacking in substance. The authors provided little reasoning or scientific explanation. Reading it, I felt like I was listening to a friend who watched some segment on TV about nutrition and then decides to tell me about it, when I know she is just repeating what she heard and really has no idea what she's talking about. Annoying! Overall, I was very ... Read More Rating:  - I friggin' LOVED the bookIt's fun, blunt, informative, it's how my friends and I sometimes jargon with each other. It's different, and the authors took an approach never taken before. I found it refreshing. The authors aren't saying get reed thin, they're saying, "You're beautiful, you're smart, but you're making excuses, we're calling you on it, now get going, girl." Check out the dietbook aisles at any bookstore - with all the hand-holding, cheerleading, and positive affirmations, we're still a fat nation with body ... Read More |
