Summary: I lost weight because I stopped making it such a big deal
Review: This book tells it like it is. If you aren't discerning enough to be able to tell that some things are bad for you then you are probably the type that is having trouble in other areas of your life and should seek professional help.

The one thing that this book is, it's FUNNY. I lost about 35 pounds by reading it A LOT. Why? I ate less and I worked out. I did not do anything drastic. It helped me see that I didn't have to "address my psychological food issues" or "keep food diaries" or any of that other distracting drivel. All I had to do was stop shoving a bunch of crap down the old piehole and get off the damn couch. It is funny, it is honest, and I could relate to it. Buy the book to laugh and realize that being fat is not a huge lifelong, crybaby deal. It's something everyone deals with. And just think, in the time you read this review you could have eaten like a million calories.... I stopped you from doing that. Unless, you were eating while you read the review.... in that case you should get the book.

Summary: that's why you're still overweight
Review: This book was obviously written tongue in cheek and everyone who has reveiwed this book previously needs to calm down. i am a size 2, 105 pounds and think this book is great. it does have some ridiculous ideas in it, but you wanted to know how skinny women stay skinny, thats why you bought the book. well, how we stay skinny isnt always "healthy" or god-forbid "american." this book wasnt written as a HEALTH book or a NUTRITION book, it was written as a good old fashioned DIET book. It is not warm and fuzzy to overweight people who want to hear they can eat the food pyramid and lose weight. this book, unfortunately is based on reality, like it or not.

Summary: A FOOL PROOF DIET TIP THAT BELONGS IN THIS BOOK!
Review: This tip for losing weight would fit right in to this sordid book:

I have a fool proof tip for getting skinny and NEVER gaining the weight back! I kid you not! This WORKS! I don't know why more people haven't thought of this. There is NO way to screw this thing up- even for those of us who find it difficult to not salivate each time we pass a bakery.

It takes some effort to prepare for though- but if your goal is to get and STAY skinny, then you will find that this preparation is well worth the trouble!

First, you will need to purchase or borrow a loaded gun. Then hold it to your head and shoot! You will either end up dead or paralyzed and brain damaged. Once you are dead and buried, the pounds just melt off! And there is NO chance of weight gain. An, hell, if you are brain damaged, you aren't going to be able to drive to the local bakery and order a box of donuts to binge on, right? Food would certainly not be so easily accessible to one who is mentally retarded!

Either way, YOU WIN! YOU GET AND STAY SKINNY!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE AND THE TRUTH HURTS!
Review: Too funny and too close to home. This book gives it to you straight. No politically correct nonsense. This book tells you what works, "safety" be damned. It has some good tips and it is sure to keep you laughing.
