5.0 out of 5 stars best book ive read in a long time!, 12 Nov 2007
By Ms. H. J. Cook (croydon,surrey) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
if your fed up of making excuses and want to slim by watching calories rather than fad diets, this is for you. all the sections make sense. it shows you how 10 different women keep slim by what they eat and what they do exercise wise, it then goes into their 50 top tips which covers emotional eating, calories, how to eat out and exercise. it also covers the importance of carbs, protein and fats. id say it covers everything. if you think this time you want to make a good go of it, without the fads and actually come out of denial and look how the slim live, its def for you. i wont be buying anymore fad diet books!

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Information, 16 Jul 2008
By Veronica (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
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 (I've lost over a stone and have one more to go), 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. Making excercise a key part of my life has been the driving force behind my weight loss. I've found a real passion for working out at the gym - in this regard I agree with the author that developing a 'healthy addiction' for exercise is an excellent way to lose weight, and it doesn't seem like a chore because you're getting so much out of it.

Overall, the book is a good read for anybody with an interest in health and fitness, but I would still caution people not to take the advice to the extreme. The book does go on about calories a lot, and at one point I had to put it aside because I was becoming obsessed with counting calories. Also, I have a bit of a problem with the term 'Skinny Chick' being held up as the ideal in the first place. I do not want to be 'skinny' (a word which brings to mind skin and bone). I want to be fit, healthy and reasonably toned. Make sure you feel confident about your body and where you're heading before you read this book, so you don't fall into the trap of always striving to be thinner.

5.0 out of 5 stars A no-nonsense guide to getting thin once and for all, 15 April 2008
By E. Riley - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I found this a very inspirational book that told you the simple facts of what you needed to do to lose weight. The nutritional advice was clear and simple advocating sensible eating patterns without cutting out food groups. The simple message was you have to eat less and exercise more to lose weight and that this has to be a permanent lifestyle commitment. If you want to be slim you simply cannot eat cake, full stop.

I like how each of the 50 secrets was examined in detail and came with an explanation of how to apply this to your life. I also thought the information about overcoming emotional and comfort eating was a welcome change in a diet book.

Overall I would strongly recommend this book so long as your ready to hear the tough reality and are not just looking for a quick fix.
