Review
Kirkus Reviews, 6/1/12
“Sample menus, recipes and tips on how to avoid processed foods make this a helpful lifestyle guide.”
Booklist, 6/28/12
“Her personal story is compelling; the statistics she uses are alarming (today 38 states have obesity rates of more than 25 percent), and her theme is strong…Her passion and her personal story are so inspiring that her antidieting, pronatural foods book is worth a look.”
Taste for Life, July 2012
“This eye-opening book…offers compelling scientific evidence of the harm junk foods inflict.”
Living Without, December/January 2012
“This is more than a cookbook. It’s instruction on how to change your diet and your lifestyle in order to successfully lose excess weight—and keep it off. A lifeline for overcoming food obsession.”
Energy Times, January 2013
“The Science of Skinny is designed to give people the knowledge they need to become responsible consumers."

Note: I originally wrote this review for my blog, Real Appetite.
Read the first half of this book (the Science). And if you do decide to read the Skinny half, well, take it with the proverbial grain of salt.
The book starts out with the background of the author. She grew up disliking vegetables. She ate compulsively for emotional reasons. After her parents' divorce, the weight packed on and on. Her mom tried to move to a more natural diet, but she and her brother wouldn't have any of it! So back to the processed foods they went. The part-time job at Dairy Queen didn't help. Even a gallstone at 18 wasn't enough to jolt Dee back into reality. By the time she started college, her 4'10" frame carried more than 200 pounds (!).
She began to break free from processed foods by eliminating white sugar and white flour from her diet. This is important to note in itself, because if you or I decided to eliminate these two ingredients too, well, there wouldn't be many processed foods left to choose from, naturally pushing us toward a whole-food diet.
Her background as a chemist allows her to present a fascinating breakdown of ingredients all of us have been (probably unknowingly) eating for years, and how the processed food companies try to hide them from us - did you know that MSG has more than a dozen other names it appears as on ingredient lists?
Dee presents her 10 "Science of Skinny Laws," which can basically be summed up as: Eat more vegetables, don't eat refined sugar or flour.
The thing about processed foods, she argues, is that they've only been around for about 50-100 years. We still can't be sure about the long-term effects, but already we see more disease, obesity, and overall health problems than ever before.
