For every Skinny Bitch, there's a kick-ass man just as eager to take control of his weight and health. The New York Times bestselling authors now share their tips for turning Dad bods into Skinny Bastards. What's good for the bitch is good for the bastard. Hundreds of thousands of women have been inspired to "use their head" and get real about the food they eat after reading the best-selling manifesto Skinny Bitch. But it turns out some men have been reading over their girlfriends' shoulders. Professional athletes such as Milwaukee Brewers' Prince Fielder and the Dallas Mavericks' Jerry Stackhouse have adopted a whole new eating plan because of the book. Now authors Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin think it's time for the guys to have a book of their own. In Skinny Bastard, they'll explain why the macho "meat and potatoes" diet is total crap, why having a gut is un-cool (and a turn-off), and how to get buff on the right foods. Eating well shouldn't be a "girlie" thing-and the Bitches will whip any man into shape with their straight-talk, sound guidance, and locker room language.

From the #1 New York Times–bestselling co-author of Skinny Bitch, “a clever . . . mouth-watering story of a vegan chef with big dreams.” —San Francisco Book Review A rising culinary star of the vegan foodie scene, Clementine Cooper gets her big chance to impress a top food critic—until a backstabbing co-worker sabotages her exquisite entrée with butter. Blacklisted from every vegan kitchen in Los Angeles, Clem decides to open her own cooking school with aspirations of turning a neighborhood restaurant into a café. But when a sexy restauranteur settles on her dream locale as the perfect place for his steakhouse, Clem prepares for battle. Then she lays eyes on him. Zach Jeffries is way too good looking. Worse, when he shows up at her cooking class, he’s more than the meathead she expects him to be. Much more. Turns out the attraction is mutual, even if their dreams are not. So Clem does what every self-respecting single woman would do—she tries to fall in love with a more suitable man. Alexander Orr is not only a vegan chef, too, but British and adorably sweet. Yet, despite her best efforts Clem still has an irresistible taste for a certain hunky carnivore. . . . “Barnouin has cooked up one tasty love triangle. . . .

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.
