HOLLYWOOD DIET SECRETS April 1, 2008 This book was fabulous. I really took the advice into my own hands and made my own diet and excercise that works for me. I also have been working out every day religiously...and eating way better than ever before. I suggest that if you are really looking for some advice to lose weight or to stay fit, than please read this book. It really works, and its hilarious.
Good read. Helps keep you centered. No miracles promised. March 19, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Sorry if you're looking to drop weight instantly by doing some amazing trick. Still the usual, eat less, exercise cardio and strength training, and walking or running additionally. There are a few other fun tips, and yeah, I liked hearing that the georgous starlets and models have to work at it. When you hear some say, "I eat whatever I want", and you want to spit on them... well, this book makes it seem that just isn't the case. They work their tushies off. Again, some good realistic tricks offered, and nothing trying to make you starve yourself. That's an entirely different book. But, caloric concern is addressed. Calories do add the weight. Made me think, if I want to be amazingly thin, that's going to take a lot of exercise, a lot of discipline, not much bad food - if any, and again a lot of work. OR I can accept being me, and doing a normal amount of things to keep healthy, since I'm not likely to become famous and in the tabloids any day soon. And have fun. I sure do appreciate how hard some gals work for their looks. To be super, you have to be super...
Boring & Full of Info I've Read Multiple Times Before March 3, 2008 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I was excited when I saw this book on the shelf, and immediately bought it. I should've skimmed it first. I would've realized that I've heard all this information many times in other books and articles. All the information was so surface-level and mundane, that I had to force myself to finish the book. Additionally, in all honesty, I really am not convinced that this book includes the REAL diet and workout plans for these big-name stars. People simply don't look as thin as these celebs do by "hiking in the hills with my dog and drinking green tea!". Either way, I don't recommend this book unless, I suppose, you're a beginner with clean nutrition and working out.
More than Secrets Revealed! February 26, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I was pleasantly surprised when I received the book for a few reasons... First, it's not just a book of recipes for homemade diet programs, or lose weight quick schemes. The Hollywood book of Diet Secrets was more of a spiritual collection of women who genuinely love and respect their bodies, and who know that with self-appreciation comes outward beauty.
Second, because I was appalled watching the Oscars last night when I could easily see the Botox and Collagen injections that are being abused by high profile celebs, and was happy to see those women weren't included in this book. Yes, I know women like to use any methods available to maintain their youthful appearances, but what about natural beauty and aging gracefully?
And lastly, because my contribution was included with Sheila Kelly in the chapter about striptease!
