Ever wonder how skinny women stay skinny? ( it's not their metabolism.)
Forget diet books. You've read them. You've tried them. You've lost five pounds . . . and gained back six. It's time you learned the truth about weight loss from those who know--the skinny women who have successfully (and secretly) dropped pounds and stayed slim.
Do skinny women skip breakfast? Taint half their portions with salt, pepper--or Clorox--to make sure they don't eat it? You bet they do. You'll get the inside story on the dieting tricks, shortcuts, and closely guarded secrets of women who stay a perfect size 6 . . . forever. From using depression to lose weight (God makes you miserable for a reason) to the calories you unintentionally consume in cough syrup . . . or by licking a stamp, everything you really need to know about losing weight is right here in the first anti-diet diet book. So put on a pair of tight jeans (you'll find out why), say no to bagels, sprinkle sweetener and cinnamon on just about anything, and start reading.

The Skinny: What every skinny woman knows about dieting (and won't tell you!) Reviews
-
Funny and full of good tips! Even better, some of these tips are unhealthy. Perfect for the eating-disordered.
-
Not to be taken seriously at all - a deeply silly book that shows us we are all worrying way too much. Pass the butter.
-
I had to read this because I’m obsessed with the fact that Susan Orlean and Patricia Marx wrote a diet book. It’s funny.
-
Hilarious and refreshingly non-PC. Discusses the potential calories of autocannibalism on one page and saline solution the next. If anything I think it would encourage the extreme dieter to relax and be more realistic.
