Synopsis

Skinny Bitch created a movement when it exposed the horrors of the food industry, while inspiring people across the world to stop eating "crap." Now the "Bitches" are back-this time with a book geared to pregnant women. And just because their audience is in a "delicate condition" doesn't mean they'll deliver a gentle message. As they did with Skinny Bitch, Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin expose the truth about the food we eat-with its hormones, chemicals, and other funky stuff. But even though they are "Skinny," they want women to chow down on the right foods and gain their fair share of weight through their pregnancies.They also won't mince words on these topics: * the best foods for a healthy baby and mommy * the dangers of common lotions, creams, and beauty products that women slather on their bodies (many contain carcinogens) * why every mother should "suck it up" and breastfeed * the lowdown on what really happens "post-push" (after birth) * how the companies we trust don't care about children (choosing baby food and other products carefully) With the same sassy tone that made Skinny Bitch laugh-out-loud funny, Skinny Bitch: Bun in the Oven will give expectant moms the information they need to "use their head" and have a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The Skinny Bitches are back - this time turning their attention to a time when it's particularly important not to eat 'cr*p'. "Skinny Bitch" and "Skinny Bitch in the Kitch" were the bestselling books which inspired thousands of gals (including Victoria Beckham) to live clean, healthy, pure and skinny lives - while keeping them laughing with the authors' wicked trademark acerbic sass.And now the bitches are back! "Skinny Bitch: Bun in the Oven" addresses women who are - you guessed it - expecting a baby. Rory and Kim are not saying that pregnant women should be skinny - their recipe for a healthy pregnancy is lots of healthy food, but meat and dairy (with their hormones, chemicals and worse) remain off-limits, especially for anyone eating for two! The SBs also reveal the dangers of common lotions, creams and beauty products; give guidance on the best foods for a healthy baby and mum; discuss why every mother should 'suck it up' and breastfeed; and give the low-down on taking care of yourself 'post push'. They're the same smart-mouthed b-s who won't mince words on how savvy girls should eat - if you want to hear 'everything in moderation,' 'an occasional glass of wine is fine', or any other candy-coated bulls***, pick another book. "Skinny Bitch: Bun in the Oven" will tell you the truth about food and how what you eat affects your pregnancy and baby.

Revue de presse :

“Writing in a style that is meant to be funny and sarcastic with a bit of drill sergeant thrown in, the authors offer some good advice on what to eat and especially what not to eat when pregnant. ... there is a lot of good advice on thinking critically about what is considered good nutrition and what is not.”

VegNews, Sept+Oct 2008
"Bursting with smarts and their classic sense of humor ... With this sassy new tome, the authors give pregnant women everywhere a whole new reason to eat healthy....an entertaining read even if you’re not preggers, but it makes the perfect gift for a friend who is."
