This past week, I got hold of a diet book called Skinny B**** Bun in the Oven, written by ex-models Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin. They also have other books with similar titles (Skinny B****, Skinny B**** in the Kitchen and Skinny Bastards [for guys]). I started reading it because we will soon be trying to conceive for number two. And this time I do NOT want to be eating the same junk as when I was pregnant with Mariah. I was living off Arby's curly fries and Twixes while finishing up my bachelors and working 40+ hour weeks. And I wondered why I looked like Shrek in the end! I was overworking and underfeeding my body.
This book is not a diet book for pregnant women in the traditional sense (since pregnant women should NOT diet). It is a potty-mouthed, girl-talk style pregnancy book that breaks everything down for you: what you should and shouldn't be eating and why. The authors are Vegan and definitely promote it in the book. They attack the mainstream American diet with facts and reasons to stop eating meat and meat products. And they don't sugar coat anything (beware, there is language!). It is a very entertaining and informative read.

The title alone makes me want to read this. I wanna borrow it when you're done ;)
I've read this book before and been through tons of good and bad diets or what I'd like to say are modifications of lifestyle to be healthier. Trust me when I say you DO NOT want to follow this book entirely. Nothing is worse than being vegan for purposes of eating healthier and losing weight (cuz honestly red meat tastes soo good and so does cheese!) and half the information is legit but I'd say the other half is insane. Anyway, can tell you more later but please do not decide to completely go after the fad that is starving yourself and being skinny without being smart. hehe plus I also have a blog I use mostly for sharing tips and tools on how to stay skinny and for myself to remember. www.skinnyisalwaysin.blogspot.com
