Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 📱 Kindle
Skinny Habits
Bob Harper & Greg Critser · 2015
70/100
👍 Worth It
Bob Harper's mindset-first approach is a nice break from calorie-counting diet books, and the 'Habit Homework' at the end of each chapter gives you something concrete to actually do. It leans on his decade of Biggest Loser coaching experience in a way that feels earned, even if it echoes his earlier Skinny Rules books for longtime readers.
✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
⚠ Parent note — our reviewers flagged: Deals with body image and weight topics; framed as encouraging rather than restrictive. We still scored it 70; these are context for your family, not an automatic skip.
