Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Interesting Information
Despite the somewhat obnoxious title, I enjoyed reading this book and think it has a lot of interesting ideas packed into its 273 pages. It profiles the typical daily diet and weekly exercise routines of 21 so-called `Skinny Chicks' ranging from US dress size 2 to 8 (the UK equivalent of size 6 to 12). After this, the author describes the 50 `secrets' of these women, going into more detail about how they keep slim and fit.

As expected, the advice given is pretty much standard healthy eating stuff. Count calories. Bulk out meals with vegetables and salad. Drink lots of water. Learn positive self talk. Although I suppose I have been doing some of these things already, it was still useful to read the ideas in print and pick up a few extra tips along the way.

It was actually the exercise information that I found most refreshing. Personally speaking, I've found a real passion for working out ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This book motivated me!
I have read this book twice in the last couple months and it motivates me.
A lot of the info. is stuff we already know (as I have read almost every diet book under the Sun and then some) but it was written in a fresh way. I really like this author. I want to get her running book now as I am a runner and would like to read more books by her.
Some of the info. is extreme exercise 2 hours a day and eat 1600 cals a day or less to be a size 2. But she also says you do what you are comfortable with. If you want to be a size 10 it is unlikely you need to workout that much and eat so little. It is up to you. I for one cannot work out that much and eat so little. Not gonna happen and I am not an actress so do I really need to do anything that extreme??? But I still love the book. It is very interesting, with a few things I did not know and written very well and it motivates me to run more and eat a little ... Read More


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Diet Tips from Anna Rexic
Skip this book, unless you truly want a lifestyle of never enjoying your food again and plan to work out for a minimum of two hours every day for the rest of your life. "Useful" tips include Exercise More! Eat Less! Become Vegetarian! Keep a Food Journal! Eat Protein Bars & Shakes instead of Food!

If you are considering or struggling with your latest diet and haven't read it, I seriously recommend anybody out there try reading Dana Carpender's "dieting memoir" How I Gave Up My Low-Fat Diet and Lost 40 Pounds (Revised and Expanded Edition). You just might see a little of yourself in Dana's description of her weight struggle, (I know I certainly did!) and her eventual "AHA!" moment when she realized that it wasn't fat that was making HER fat. I found her story very enlightening.

And if you are a lover of fine food like I am, who doesn't wish to beat herself up but would like to look a ... Read More


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good Book
