“This book is comprised of 50 things a woman can do to be a "skinny chick," based on observations of other thin women and what they do to stay that way.
The first part is the least successful, where the author gives little interviews to 50 skinny chicks and asks them what they eat during a day, and what their exercise routines are. Most of the diets seem like they're exactly the same, without a single vegetarian, which I find odd. The only good part are the little tips, which are expanded on in the second half of the book.
The second half is much better, where the tips each get their own section, and some of the tips are good, though none are ground-breaking or anything I hadn't read before. Also, sometimes the author makes health claims that she doesn't back up, so some of it has to be read with a grain of salt.
I did find this book motivating, and it made me want to lose those few extra pounds that have crept up, so I'm giving it three stars.”
