Totally inspired
I absolutely adore this book. An entire twenty pounds snuck up on me over the course of last year, and this book was one of the main sources of not only inspiration, but sustained motivation throughout my weight loss process. I am a junior in college and can honestly say that I look better now than I ever did in high school. And I feel incredible.
The distinguishing factor between this book and other books, articles, and even classes that I've taken on diet and nutrition is that it skips all of the bogus generalizations and sticks to realism. It is quantitative and thorough in that it outlines almost exactly the ways to achieve your own perfect body, and it is absolutely inspirational. I have already read it but keep it in my gym back for references and refreshers when my motivation starts to slack.
I read through several of the reviews, and the negative ones seemed to all be saying that the lifestyle changes in this book are "entirely too unrealistic" or something comparable. I disagree wholeheartedly, but will say that this book is meant for people who want to attain bodies that SEEM unattainable (titled "skinny chicks" for a reason...) and yet, are not. It isn't a book to turn to if this is your first attempt at lifestyle change after an entire existence spent on the sofa eating buffalo wings. Drastic, but do you get my point?
I've considered buying this as a gift for other friends who struggled in exactly the same ways I did. This book means a lot to me and is my lifestyle bible: you can eat and look great, as long as you do it with the carefulness and understanding that come from this book.

It's a lot of information, force control does not work for me
As stated in the book, you have to stick to the plan even if it is difficult. I need something that is more natural and complements my families life style. Sure if your an Actor and have a goal of looking good in the public eye you will follow this but if your like me an every day person. This is just another book of diet recipes. I need to stop the cravings and get rid of the hunger. I can't think that away.!!!

Awesome book
This is a great book that uncovers all the "secrets" models & women in the entertainment industry have to go through...and whether or not you're willing to do the same. Very inspirational, great ideas & tips for keeping fit.

The Secret of Skinny Chicks
I found this book deeply disappointing - especially the 'Meet the Skinny Chicks Part'. I am a full time working mother and if I make it to the gym three times a week for 45' a go I consider myself lucky. Most of the profiles are based on actresses, models or super-models who have the time and the ability to spend seven days a week and two to three hours per day exercising. I do not have that privilege and I know many, many others who feel the same. The majority of the examples cited are not 'real people' and, therefore, should not have made it in a book addressed to the general public.
