First, given the inevitable bitching that has probably already commenced, allow me to proffer the reasoning behind this post. I was standing in line at Bed, Bath and Beyond, waiting to return an air mattress, blithely unaware that the Skinny Bitch phenomenon had continued past their 15 minutes of initial fame. There, I overheard two portly housewives discuss the relative merits of a drink mixer called SkinnyGirl (which is apparently in no way related to the Skinny Bitch books, but is the product of some reality tv whore’s vanity). This turned into a discussion about how they’d both stopped eating meat due to the Skinny Bitch books, and how everyone (wink wink nod nod) who still eats meat is flirting with an imminent and grisly death. At that point I interjected, as I’m unwilling to stand idly by while anyone talks shit, especially in the South where I hate everyone, and these Type 2 diabetes cows weren’t going to titter over their Mint Juleps about how they got over on me. I started dropping actual scientific facts, which they rebutted by claiming that the Skinny Bitches disagreed, and assured me I should read their book for men. I was struck dumb by the fact that I had used historical references and scientific fact to rebut their claims and had been rebuffed with such bullshit, but I resolved to read this fucking book to see what lies were contained therein.

Though I disagree with most of what spews forth from his filthy Communist mouth, I agree with Zach de la Rocha when he says, “Know your enemy.”

Inside Out was a hell of a lot better than RATM.

Here is what I found-
1) The publisher Running Press has neither fact-checkers, nor editors with any background in biology or chemistry, and apparently everyone in their organization is bereft of conscience and soul.

2) The Skinny Bitches are apparently filled with discontent at the fact that they’ve merely spewed their insipid bile at one half of our species, and have thus returned in an attempt to finish what they started- namely, to destroy the human race. While that goal seems to have merit on its face, they’re not doing it in a cool way at all- nowhere are there zombies, robots, zombie-robot cyborg hybrids, hemorrhagic plagues, internecine strife, or even a good ol’ nuke. Instead, they are trying to bring about humanity’s downfall in the least cool way possible- by rendering us so impotent and weak that we simply die out of self-loathing and the sort of malaise that can only come when one realizes that they’d lose a fight to a poodle. Essentially, they want the apocalypse to be humanity’s transformation into the Eloi without any of the mechanisms necessary to support their bullshit society.

Feast your eyes on it folks- the guide to the coming apocalypse… Skinny Bastard. Clocking in at a touch over two hundred pages, it provides comprehensive coverage of some of the most impressive stupidity and willful ignorance ever committed to the printed page. In support of their outlandish nutritional theories, the Bitches have offered some of the most astonishing non- and pseudoscience that Skinny Bastard is truly breathtaking in its defiance of logic, scientific fact, research, and hatred for intelligent discourse and humanity in general.

Apparently they used to model… paper bags?

For those of you who are too horrified to continue reading, here’s the short version: two whores with no business writing a book about anything compiled a bunch of factoids gleaned from vegan websites and pseudoscientific nutrition texts into a handbook on manning up, repeatedly enjoining their readers to stop being pussies… while not eating meat. Amidst their incessant rejoinders about what it takes to be a real man, a phenomenon about which women should probably refrain from giving advice anyway, they recommend that men drink red wine and herbal teas while abstaining from meat and doing some brisk cardio as their roadmap to manliness. That just happened. Yup- while making the authors of the ill-conceived Alpha Male Challenge (see the blog about this pile of horseshit here) look like paradigms of manliness, the Skinny Bitches managed to outdo their previous effort throughout the book. Additionally, the SBs seem to think that the liberal use of the word “fuck” validates their ridiculous foray into male diet advice, casually tossing the word about in spite of the fact that they appeared terrified of using the word “dick” in their hilarious treatment on erectile function, instead using the nomenclature of small children to make their point, a la “stick” or “cockadoodledoo”. I am not making that up. This book literally left me speechless.

“Yeah, I absolutely called him a faggot, but he ordered Chardonnay. What was I supposed to do?”

The long version: It’s hard to know where to start with a book that I’ve got to pick apart page by page, so I’ll just start at the beginning, and I’ll hit the high points as bullets for ease of reading. Before you get too far into it, you might want to check out this blog on pH, since the Bitches blather on about it incessantly.

Maybe the idea is that they need something alkaline injected into their abdomens… Did you know ejaculate averages a pH of 7.2-7.8? (Haugen) The More You Know!*

“Alcohol raises the level of hydrochloric acid in your stomach, wreaking havoc on your digestive system.”(11) One hardly knows where to begin with gems such as these. Someone might want to inform the Bitches that hydrochloric acid is always present in one’s stomach- it helps break down food in the stomach. One thing hydrochloric acid doesn’t do, however, is have anything whatsoever to do with the absorption of alcohol, which is done through the stomach lining and the intestines. We actually produce an enzyme to reduce the amount of alcohol our body absorbs, but HCL’s got exactly fuckall to do with either. Then, in stark defiance of logic and chemistry, they assert that men should “try organic wine produced without sulfites”, which will not fill their bodies with acid, though it must be sulfite-free, or the drinker will contract asthma and allergies. Amazing. The nonsense about sulfites aside (they don’t cause allergies, by the way, although in some people they do cause what appear to be allergic reactions, especially IN PEOPLE WHO ALREADY HAVE ASTHMA), beer and hard alcohol might actually be good for you… and in more than a “they get me laid” kind of way. Japanese researchers tested varying doses of isohumulones (the bitter component of beer) on pre-diabetic rats in three different doses and found that 2 of the doses led to reduced fasting blood glucose levels, and a third led to reduced bodyfat and weight.(Obara) Happily, I hate both beer and wine, both of which one study showed raised estrogen and SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin) (Gavaler), but am a big fan of liquor. Liquor has been shown in a couple of studies to give you a short term testosterone boost in low to moderate dosages, and to increase the efficacy of pro-hormones consumed at the same time.(Arnold) In short, science has proven definitively that drinking wine does in fact make you a bitch… in more ways than one, and that drinking liquor makes you more manly. As such, the Bitches are again the ducks who fly North for the winter and try to get their idiot friends to follow them. Unfortunately, they’ve all thus far refused to die.
Shit almost made me consider getting an RKC certification. Almost.



“Citrus fruits are alkalizing because they’re high in potassium and calcium and alkaline salts.” (33) If you’re not already amused because potassium and calcium are alkaline salts, you should be. Prepare, however, to become more amused- citrus fruits aren’t even ranked among top calcium or potassium rich foods… but various meats are. Given that one major problem they have with meat is the fact that it acidifies one’s system, wouldn’t their shitbox logic hold in re the alkalizing effects of potassium and calcium? Ah well… the Silly Whores haven’t let fact get in the way of their fiction before, so there’s no sense in starting now, I suppose.




“Coffee is for pussies.” (13-14) Yep- the Bitches hate coffee because it contains caffeine, which they assert will cause you problems ranging from headaches to diarrhea to cortisol spikes, and a wide array of bullshit in between, while simultaneously allowing you to trumpet to the world that you’re a big bitch because you “need” stimulants to get you out of bed. Additionally, the SB’s contend, willfully ignorant of any and all studies ever conducted on coffee, that coffee will make you fat due to the fact that your body will form a protective layer of fat around your organs to fend off the evil acid in the coffee. Frankly, I’m at a loss to even scratch the surface of what they might be on about here- do they think coffee’s simply dumped into your system on top of your organs? That our internal systems are setup like an ancient Roman sewer? Have they heard of the circulatory system? Simply astonishing. Instead, manly men should drink “caffeine free herbal tea, because “if women see you drinking tea, they’ll think you’re smart and sensitive.” Sweet! I can miss out on all of the fat-loss benefits of a proven performance enhancer while getting fat, publicly emasculating myself, and drinking something that tastes like stewed cow shit.

In case you’re unaware, allow me to drop a little knowledge about the actual health benefits of coffee, for the sake of education, sanity, and to take a break from the wild-eyed idiocy proffered by the Silly Bitches. Coffee drinkers are:

  • less likely to have type 2 diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, and dementia (Osterweil)
  • have fewer cases of certain cancers, heart rhythm problems, and strokes (Ibid)
  • lower the risk of prostate cancer (Wilson et al)

Caffeine also has myriad benefits, which I’ve elucidated in the past, but they range from performance enhancement to alertness to mental acuity. In short, stimulants fucking rule.

Artificial sweeteners are the fucking devil (but no mention is made of HFCS).(12-13, and an entire chapter later in the book) According to the Silly Bitches, just about every evil perpetrated in the world in the last 50 years was committed at the hands of Searle for the purpose of promoting their Nutrasweet products, and in collusion with the US government. This is patently ridiculous for a variety of reasons, not the least of which being that the US government is far more complicit in supporting Big Agriculture than Big Pharma. In retrospect, given that Searle was purchased by Monsanto when Donald Rumsfeld was the CEO, they might have a case to make, but no mention was made of that, and most of their beef with Searle predates Rummy’s tenure. They contend that due to the US government’s support of and evil doings with major US pharmaceutical companies (of which there’s hardly any doubt, in my mind, but they’re off base here) that Searle was able to push Nutrasweet/aspartame through testing and get it approved by all of the national agencies in charge of food additives. Just about all of the claims made about Nutrasweet are bullshit, however, and have been proven to be so over and over. If you don’t believe me, go here and read the sources cited, and if you’re too lazy to do that, just check out the study wherein MIT debunked the Nutrasweet bullshit. In addition to failing to conduct even a simple search of unbiased sources (which I’d imagine at this point would causes those idiots to seize, crack, and bleed out), they failed to recognize that the US government would back corn farmers and sugar farmers LONG before they’d back a pharma company in this fight- pharma companies don’t get farm subsidies. As such, these broads have again proven themselves to be fucking retarded, as they’re focusing on the gnat in their ear instead of the guy pounding their ass like they were Ving Rhames in Pulp Fiction.

I’ve recognized a ring gag pic deficit and am attempting to rectify that problem.

“Most Americans eat twice as much protein as necessary”(36), citing a guy named Lesley McPhatter who in turn cited old research and a sports nutrition text of which I’ve never heard. They go on recommend a protein level of Body Weight x .36, which provides a “large margin of safety”. Safety from what, you might ask? Their support of this statement was all over the map, ranging from the old wives’ tale about protein and renal failure, to a supposition that low carb diets have been linked with low testosterone levels, base on an uncited study. I found the study, however, and they and their soft-headed vegan compatriots all seem to have read the fucking thing incorrectly… likely because a diet the consists of naught but gruel is hardly conducive to deep analytical thinking. Instead of showing that a high protein diet led to low testosterone levels, the study showed that a diet high in ployunsaturated fat led to low testosterone levels. Rob Faigin was nice enough to point that little nugget out in Natural Hormone Enhancement, and I thought I’d reiterate it for you guys. (Faigin, 329-30)

Q: How do you make a hormone?
A: Don’t pay her.

Onto that old bullshit about high protein diets and renal failure… again, the Bitches’ research skills don’t extend beyond ancient and patently ridiculous sources. For those of you who are blissfully unaware of that argument, it goes that high protein (and ketogenic diets in particular) cause renal failure. This is completely unsubstantiated by science, and flies in the face of anecdotal evidence about the Inuit (whose diet consists of nothing but meat), and a year-long study of Vilhjalmur Stefansson, who ate nothing but meat. In 1929 he
participated in a year long study in which he lived at a hospital and was subjected to a battery of tests, mostly directed at predicting what doctors considered to be his imminent death, and was found to be healthy as shit thereafter. Putting aside that, because the Silly Bitches enjoy their anecdotes but hate science, let’s see what science has to say, shall we?

He has urine dribbling down his leg in this pic.

The Bitches are more wrong than R. Kelly pissing in the mouth of a 14 year old. Kideney function adapts to increased protein consumption and in some cases functions better than on low-protein diets. (Skov et al, Poortmans et al, Brändle et al, Eades 138) In spite of all that… you know, science, and the fact that an entire robust and virile people have thrived for centuries on that diet, the Silly Bitches will continue to assert that a high protein diet will kill you outright and forthwith, and you’ll dissolve in a muddle of acidic muck . They’ll do this because they’re whores… they forgot because they’re stupid.

Oh, there’s more… much, much more, but I figure you guys have waited long enough for a blog. Coming up, another Ask the Asshole, more rebuttals of this nonsense you can use to browbeat idiots at the bar, and a couple of other goodies I’ve got half-baked. Also, in the next two weeks expect an article an video on an exercise that’s both awesome and nearly catastrophically stupid to perform without a spotter, which I will of course explain in detail since I do it all the time.
