review 1: Overall, this book is inspiring and accessible, particularly for women who are trying to take better care of themselves. The advice Maria provides is very doable and sensible, although there is not much here that I did not already read about. Maria's specific tips are helpful, and her own story of weight loss motivational. I do think that every page need not have a picture of her. While she is beautiful and that in itself is inspiring, it seemed a little self-promoting to me. Still, I am glad I have a copy of this book on my shelves.
review 2: TCL Call#: 613.25082 Menounous MMadeleine = 4 starsI saw this book on our shelves alongside the Cameron Diaz Body Book and decided to do a face off. Wohooo!Everygirl's Guide was a pretty good health book. She's sup... moreer smiley in her pictures and it's all rather adorable. She covers her own techniques and interviews a host of other celebrities on theirs. Nothing is super faddy. Her biggest recommendation, for example, is to drink hot water. I did like that her exercise suggestions were doable and my favorite part was that she often demonstrated the poor girl's technique right next to her trainer doing the same move on spendy equipment. It was a fun read with some usable suggestions.Compare that to Diaz's Body Book (I cannot find an entry in GoodReads for the book so cannot put this into the proper review format). I struggled through 80 pages and ended up so nauseated by all the "hey, we're just girlfriends chillaxing, yeah, so awesome" that I flat out stopped. Boo. = 0 stars less
