Product Description:
El franco enfoque de este libro es el adecuado para aquellos que han intentado perder peso y mantenerse, y no lo han conseguido. Rory Freedman y Kim Barnouin enseñan a comer de otro modo, sin deshacerse de los alimentos que siempre nos han gustado a todos. Ofrecen más de 75 recetas para desayuno, almuerzo y cena, y para picotear. Se trata de romper la negación mental acerca de los malos hábitos alimenticios que hemos seguido por años, y la elección de alimentos más sanos y una vida plenamente disfrutable. / The frank, ""get real"" approach of this diet book may be just right for those who have tried and tried without success to lose weight and keep it off. As the title indicates, the language is salty as Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin tell readers just what they must get rid of in their everyday eating: sugar first, followed by meat and dairy. Freedman and Barnouin recommend a vegan lifestyle, and tell why, and then offer more than 75 recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacking. They help readers break through the mental denial about bad food habits, and offer responsible and fun food choices without denying cravings and appetite.

I was on board with this book (in audio form) initially, then they got into meat, and were really zealots about it! I have nothing against Vegan folks, to each their own, but this book was disguised as a funny get real book about weight loss, that turned into some kind of podium for why we must all be Vegan! Shame on you for not being more upfront about what this book is really about.

This book is a misleading waste of time. I couldn't get past half way through and that was only by making myself keep reading. Why the "f" word is needed is beyond me. This is not really about getting skinny, staying skinny or anything else of that nature. This book is about bashing the cattle industry, the dairy industry and anything that doesn't have to do with being a vegan. Whoop tee doo!!! They need to just say up front that they hate people who eat anything except vegatables and fruits and that we are going to burn hell along with anyone who has anything to do with the food industry.. except that is the organic vegatabally fruity industry... WHAT A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY!!!!

I did not like this book. I thought it was a string of random statements without facts or explanations to back them up. I found it to be entirely lacking in substance. The authors provided little reasoning or scientific explanation. Reading it, I felt like I was listening to a friend who watched some segment on TV about nutrition and then decides to tell me about it, when I know she is just repeating what she heard and really has no idea what she's talking about. Annoying!
Overall, I was very disappointed! While I certainly agree with some of the things they tell you to do, it gave me a headache to read. Would not recommend this to a friend.

It's fun, blunt, informative, it's how my friends and I sometimes jargon with each other. It's different, and the authors took an approach never taken before. I found it refreshing.
The authors aren't saying get reed thin, they're saying, "You're beautiful, you're smart, but you're making excuses, we're calling you on it, now get going, girl." Check out the dietbook aisles at any bookstore - with all the hand-holding, cheerleading, and positive affirmations, we're still a fat nation with body image issues i.e victims. Heck, even Oprah's fat again.
Am I a vegan? No, but I am done with pork and beef and have no problem if you're not. This book supports my decision.

I got this book because the title was fun, but was completely disappointed with the content. There were a few interesting ideas (that had been said in almost every other diet book) but when they started rolling out their "science" I was completely turned off. This book was just one giant bt*ch-fest by PETA. You can loose weight by not being Vegan. Yes, we all agree that Atkins is a real bad idea. And most of us realize the government does not work in our best interests. Really, what else do you have? I grew up in the country; I know how an animal is slaughtered. I don't need you to give me details. I know that fake sweeteners are bad for me, what else should I use (in all fairness, they did answer that question). I should work out moderately for 20 minutes, 5 days a week? I had no idea.
In short there is nothing new in this book that you cannot get from PETA.org. In fact, they suggest you get PETA's "how to become a vegan" handout, which is 3 pages of how-to and 7 pages of "look how they treat the poor animals".
In short, this book offers absolutely nothing new (except for a way-cool title) and you should spend your money somewhere else.
