Let's just say she had it right in the title. She may be skinny but I seem to feel the latter word fits her best. It started out right away with that "I know it all attitude". Although the title sounded catchy, and I originally thought brutal honesty was refreshing. I was wrong. Every chapter told you one after another of the things that were basically crap in the "dieting" industry and that you are doing everything wrong. While I found it idiotic that someone would publish a bunch of crap, I kept reading. She went on to tell you every myth that was out there and why you are an idiot for believing the information that society feeds you. I did find parts of it interesting because she described what processes went on in your body and why eating that way or those certain things, completely screw up your insides. All in all, at the end of the book, I was so confused on what I actually COULD eat, that I just felt overwhelmed. I didn't think the book was a good representation of how society should look at being overweight, and I don't think it could help anyone who was looking for inspiration. I don't think we need anymore criticism than the humiliation already felt in being obese.
