Synopsis

For every Skinny Bitch, there's a kick-ass man just as eager to take control of his weight and health. The New York Times bestselling authors now share their tips for turning Dad bods into Skinny Bastards. What's good for the bitch is good for the bastard. Hundreds of thousands of women have been inspired to "use their head" and get real about the food they eat after reading the best-selling manifesto Skinny Bitch. But it turns out some men have been reading over their girlfriends' shoulders. Professional athletes such as Milwaukee Brewers' Prince Fielder and the Dallas Mavericks' Jerry Stackhouse have adopted a whole new eating plan because of the book. Now authors Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin think it's time for the guys to have a book of their own. In Skinny Bastard, they'll explain why the macho "meat and potatoes" diet is total crap, why having a gut is un-cool (and a turn-off), and how to get buff on the right foods. Eating well shouldn't be a "girlie" thing-and the Bitches will whip any man into shape with their straight-talk, sound guidance, and locker room language.

From AudioFile

In this book's equally foul-mouthed antecedent, SKINNY BITCH, the authors--the two most vocal proponents of "thinness as virtue" since Wallis Simpson--gobbled up female diet trends with voracious aplomb. Here they tackle men's diets with the same tongue-lashing and lip-smacking zest, but their vegan-based philosophy leaves little room for error--meat, carbs, alcohol, soda, diet soda, and coffee are all intensely vilified, not merely as health and lifestyle decisions but also as deterrents to successful sexual conquest. Put in these terms, it's easy to see this book as a kind of shrill manifesto--which is no fault of narrator Hillary Huber. Her sinewy delivery, rich with well-timed pauses and thoughtful inflection, evokes the authors' scolding contempt with droll precision. Whether you agree with this book's extreme philosophy, it is inarguably provocative food for thought. J.S.H. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
