Skinny Bitch Bun in the Oven
A Gutsy Guide to Becoming One Hot (and Healthy) Mother!
3 of 3 copies available
The "Bitches" are back — this time with a book geared to pregnant women. 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. They want women to chow down on the right foods and gain their fair share of weight through their pregnancies.
They won't mince words on the following:
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)

Vegan Skinny Bitch
authors Freedman and Barnouin are back, this time focusing on nutrition and diet during pregnancy. Their commentary will be familiar to Skinny Bitch
fans who prefer fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, grains and legumes to meat, fish and dairy. Characteristically feisty and foul-mouthed (e.g., they refer to the reader as “dumb-ass”), these in-your-face, incisive authors have done their research, exposing a host of health issues related to the use of bovine growth hormone and antibiotics in farm animals. Repeating the mantra “you and your baby are what you eat,” they explain the effects of pesticides in foods (with links to learning disabilities, developmental delays and behavioral disorders), how a high protein diet in pregnancy can lead to high blood pressure, stress and diabetes in the child, and the connection between mercury in fish and birth defects. Insisting that a vegan diet is healthy for both baby and mom (a claim substantiated by the AMA), the authors also include sample menus and vegan tips to satisfy food cravings. Passionately questioning the status quo, Freedman and Barnouin make a compelling case for a vegan pregnancy.
