"Skinny *****"

Serenifly

I read it. It did have some helpful things in there about artificial sweeteners and pesticides and stuff... but I pretty much felt like the book was a giant plug for Veganism.

Couldn't agree more. Funny read, I love thier WORK OUT DVD's I laugh my butt off with them ... I'd say check out their DVD's...

I got a lot of education on Aspertame etc, which I have tried to nil out of my died, but I'm a meat eater, I love eggs, milk, cheese .. steak ... all in moderation but they were pushin' veganism hardcore

UUUuuuu!!! DVD's!? do tell! =D

Skinny ***** Bootcamp sooooo funny - I might have a copy I can give you, email me your post address if you want ...



Might take me a bit though cuz I lent it to a friend, but I'm onto P90X etc, so I don't really need this DVD anymore

I've read it. Even if you have no interest in veganism (I sure don't) it's still interesting to read other perspectives. I'm a big fan of reading as much as I can and then drawing my own conclusions. Its an easy quick read. If you have a Half Price Bookstore I'd check there. I bet you can get it for half price absolute max.

THANKS, Your right, I should still take a look at the book, I'm going to swing by the Barnes and Noble anyways, so why not :bigsmile:

I'd actually advise "library" for looking it over, reading it once. I enjoy reading other people's perspectives. However, when framed in "If you don't believe us, well, you'll DIE!!!" it just gets old, and I find I get irritated bout it - there's very little "here is our science, here is our data, this is what we read" and a lot of anecdotal evidence, and the whole thing is couched in "If you don't think our way is the best.... well, you SHOULD!"

I haven't read it, but I am reading 'The China Study' by Dr. Colin Campbell right now, and it is thoroughly researched (for literally years), factual, not at all faddish, and very enlightening about what animal protein of any kind does to our bodies. I have had issues with meat for years, haven't eaten ground beef since 1997 unless it was from a roast that I ground myself and that only very rarely, and limited red meat at all in the past 10 years, but the information contained in this book has me re-thinking my entire approach to my diet concerning ALL animal protein. I've already decided to give meat up for good, and I'm only a third of the way through the book! The animal-protein/disease connection is just too well documented (although not receiving a lot of mainstream attention, surprise surprise) for me personally to ignore it any longer.

Hmmmm this sounds super interesting! I am going to check it out. I hope it's on iBooks

It is, that's where I got it. Have it on my IPad and it's been my nightly read all week.

I liked Skinny* though I'm a lacto-ovo vegetarian and not vegan. They did loose me at the wine part though
