As a tall woman myself, I find that term to be a bit derogratory because it also implies we are hulking, ugly, and man haters. I'm really none of those but some of those stereotypes do persist.

I found the book to be very informative and easy to read. I've lost 17 pounds in 12 days, I'm just concerned that I'm losing too much weight, too quickly. I will admit I haven't followed the guide exactly. I'm not sticking perfectly to the listed foods and meal plans (but mostly) and doing very little exercise, but the weight keeps flying off. It clearly works and if I'd followed it exactly I think it would scare the living daylights out of me because of the amount that I'd lose. So thanks again for the information. I've never purchased anything like this before because they are usually full of trash, but 3WD has been a pleasant surprise. Get started today!

Based upon a Greek myth about very large and powerful women.
They were also said to be fierce warriors.
The myth was likely based upon the bones of large (extinct) mammals that were discovered in the Greek Isles (as many of their mythical creatures were - ie, Cyclops, Titans, etc).

'cause of the legend of women in the Amazon jungle who were big, tall, badass warriors.
