Whatâ s good for the bitch is good for the bastard. Hundreds of thousands of women have been inspired to use their headâ 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 girlfriendsâ shoulders. Professional athletes such as Milwaukee Brewersâ Prince Fielder and the Dallas Mavericksâ Jerry Stackhouse have adopted a whole new eating plan because of the book. Now authors Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin think itâ s time for the guys to have a book of their own. In Skinny Bastard, theyâ ll explain why the macho meat and potatoesâ 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 shouldnâ t be a girlieâ thing and the Bitches will whip any man into shape with their straight-talk, sound guidance, and locker room language.

RORY FREEDMAN is a former agent for Ford Models. KIM BARNOUIN is a former model who holds an M.S. degree in holistic nutrition. They have successfully counseled models, actors, athletes, and other professionals using the Skinny Bitch method. They both live in Los Angeles.
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
