“I was starting to feel slightly superior. ‘You should soak raw almonds in water,’ I said to my friend…”

Rebecca Harrington posted a series of articles where she tries celebrity diets. Her book repeats a lot of those articles, but also includes new ones.

I found the book entertaining, even though I had already read almost half of it. I loved reading about the crazier diets, and though I feel mean saying it, the harder the diet was the more I liked reading about it.

There are chapters on modern celebrities, such as Gwyneth Paltrow, and classic stars such as Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor. It’s a really quick read and pretty amusing. I’d recommend at least checking out some of Harrington’s articles online (GFY included them in their Friday links).

(That title quote was from when Rebecca Harrington tried Gwyneth Paltrow’s diet. It made me laugh.)
