Hungry Girl vs. Skinny Bitch

The two popular books aimed at women and their eating habits go head to head in GA's kitchen. Who will be victorious?

Name:
I detest the use of bitch in a fun, sassy manner. Period.
Winner: Hungry Girl!

Weight Loss Solutions:
Well Hungry Girl does have some good ideas and slims down many recipes, but she does not actually aim it as weight loss solutions. She says so herself. Skinny Bitch is written by two models who are actually trying to sell a diet book.
Winner: Skinny Bitch!

Recipes:
Both offer favorites in HG or SB manner. SB uses a lot of organic and hard to find items. Additionally, HG uses meat in some of her recipes (and gives the option for meat substitutes). I love meat. SB has a vegan/macrobiotic look on life. I'm sure that is great for some people. I prefer free-range chicken and rare steaks.
Winner: Hungry Girl! (for the carnivores at least)

Price:
HG is a free web publication that also happens to have a book. The book is around $16. SB has two books out. They do not have an online repository of recipes. The cookbook is $10.99 or you can buy both together for $21.33 on amazon.com.
Winner: Hungry Girl!

With a 3-1 score Hungry Girl wins!!! I am cooking the Fiber-ific Fried Chicken Strips and Lord of the Onion Rings tonight. The Lord of the Onion Rings recipe can be found on the back of the Fiber One original cereal box.
