DESCRIPTION:
Very Funny Look at Bizarre Celebrity Diets A. Foster This a fun, fast read - I completed it in one sitting. Mainly because I could not stop laughing and was fascinated by the crazy lengths famous ladies went to lose weight. (Fun fact: Greta Garbo subsisted on three weeks on nothing but spinach after a studio head told her she was too fat for American tastes.)This brave writer actually tried all these diets, in the name of journalism. UGH! The Marilyn Monroe diet alone would have killed me. And Jackie O.'s stringent caviar and baked potato plan sou. Pat Mangham said Our Whatsoever a fun read!. You know you really liked a book when you are sad when it is over. I was hoping for several more chapters at least.Rebecca Harrington did a wonderful job of telling us her struggles with different celebrity diets. Some diets were much harder to maintain than others. Just trying to find ingredients for some of the recipes was a struggle. Rebecca's sense of humour was spot on and she made you laugh through the good diets and the Not so good ones.I'll Have What She Is Having is a funny, enjoyable b. Very funny read. My favorite parts were the dinner parties Loopy Loo Very funny read. My favorite parts were the dinner parties. I think toward the end I was a little over the experiment-- as I am sure Ms. Harrington was as well. It was a joke that carried on a little too long for me. That being said, I still enjoyed this read and would recommend it to anyone wanting a laugh!
Rebecca Harrington risks kitchen fires and mysterious face rashes, all in the name of diet journalism. Where there is a Hollywood starlet offering nutritional advice, there is a diet Rebecca Harrington is willing to try. Facing a harrowing mix of fainting spells, pimples, and salmonella, Harrington tracks down illegal haggis to imitate Pippa Middleton, paces her apartment until the wee hours drinking ten Diet Cokes à la Karl Lagerfeld, and attempts something forbiddingly known as the "Salt Water Flush" to channel her inner Beyoncé. Taking cues from noted beauty icons like Posh Spice (alkaline!), Dolly Parton (Velveeta!), Sophia Loren (pasta!) and Cameron Diaz (savory oatmeal!), I'll Have What She's Having is completely surprisi
