What I'm Reading

"Skinny Bitch Bun in the Oven - A Gutsy Guide to Becoming One Hot and Healthy Mother!"

by Rory Freedman & Kim Barnouin



What a perfect follow up to "Skinny Bitch in the Kitch," the bestselling it's-not-going-to-happen-unless-you-do-it-so-get-off-your-butt & get-healthy vegan how-to guide.


Freedman and Barnouin are feisty vegans. Their previous professional incarnations were in the modeling world and they have metamorphosed into nutrition experts and best selling authors. Freedman has studied nutrition for 15 years. Barnouin is a mother, and has a Masters of Science in Holistic Nutrition. They could both have PhD's in tough love, sassy straight talk and irreverent humor. Primarily they are all about being healthy and having a healthy pregnancy. My kind of gals!

I'd quote from a page or two here, but their book has the most foreboding copyright warning I've ever encountered! " ...may not be reproduced ...in any form...now known or hereafter invented"! You can go to Amazon, etc. and read clips.

Between the bawdy humor and the straight talking nutritional advice, I'm loving these gals. This is not a touchy, feely "What to Expect..." These gals pull no punches and would probably grab a cigarette out of your mouth and extinguish it in your latte if your baby bump was showing and they passed you on the street. Bottom line - good, accurate, sensible info delivered in a highly readable, laugh out loud manner. Check out their website: skinnybitch.net
