How To Eat Like a Hot Chick by Jodi Lipper and Cerina Vincent reads like a funny blog. These ladies are the latest writers to throw their hat into the weight-loss fray, but unlike many who have touted slimming secrets, Lipper and Vincent are empathetic and funny. Love chocolate? Go ahead, but don't gorge. Want to get wasted? Sure, but skip the margarita buckets and opt for vodka. Vodka shots as a diet supplement? I'm in!
The Hot Chick diet is a lifestyle, not a math problem. There are few recipes and tons of suggestions that will lead you through a Hot Chick breakfast, lunch, dinner, dates, and drink fest.
This book clearly targets the single woman as there is much mention of the "hot boy," or "cute guy" that will inevitably head your way once you live the Hot Chick diet. Suggestions like goat cheese is the best aphrodisiac when paired with wine and a cute boy make me think that perhaps these "cute boys" are just a bonus instead of the goal of a Hot Chick Diet. This was a little too cutesy, if not patronizing, and detracted from the hilarious Rachel Ray disses and ex-boyfriend anecdotes.
Rachel Ray smack talk? I'm in! Again! But "eat spinach and cute boys everywhere will notice"? I am not in. Please more EVOO-snarks and fewer "hot guy" repeats. I want to be a Hot Chick for me!
Hot chicks and hot mamas can benefit from this quick and dirty look into a healthy and "hot" way of eating. How to Eat Like a Hot Chick is a cheeky and curse-filled take with advice that still applies long after you've left the singles bar and the only cute boy in your life is your 17-month-old toddler who lives on peanut butter sandwiches.

Would I be out of line to say this sounds totally ... DO-able?
I saw the authors interviewed recently and while I kind of got the impression the book wasn't meant for me (36 year old new mom) I like the concept. Especially the part where they endorse drinking vodka :o)
I have not read this book yet, but to me it sounds like a rip off of the book Skinny Bitch. From the cover to the language style of the book, it is totally trying to be like Skinny Bitch, only it seems to be missing the point on how to really eat. I would not read this book, unless I wanted a laugh.
