| Telephone Diet |
| 2008-04-18 21:07:19 |
I'm calling this the "Telephone Diet" because I was thinking of ridiculous diets me and my girlfriends attempted while we were teenagers back in the 80s. Most of these diets were relayed by my friends to one another via telephone, you know we didn't have the Internet back in the stone ages. I've decided that is a good thing, because knowing me I would have had a Myspace page with dirty pictures...

| Sexy Diet |
| 2008-04-04 01:40:32 |
Since I've lost a lot of weight, not my goal yet, but enough that I am happy and confident enough to attract some hot men, I have discovered that I had been missing out on the best diet of them all-sex. A "fucking diet" if you will.
Nothing has toned my tush like the intense sex I have had of late.
Honestly, all I have to say is be an enthusiastic lover and you will discover your body will be...

| Apple Cider Vinegar - Magic Diet Elixir or Just A Bunch of Sour Apples? |
| 2008-03-08 01:06:27 |
Back in my college days a friend of mine was freaking out because he had been spending much time with his face in the bong and found out he'd have to take a drug test for pretty lucrative job opportunity. I'll be honest with you, as this was pre-Internet, I have no earthly idea where I had heard this, but I told him:
"Dude, drink vinegar, I heard vinegar will make you pass a drug test."
He took...

| Cutest Diet Ever - The Bento Diet |
| 2008-02-24 19:43:10 |
As it often happens when going on the Internet you end up far, far away from where you originally started. I forgot what exactly I was looking for, but I ended up at a Flickr pool of bento box photos. From there I found myself at the blog of a woman who is losing weight via bento boxes. She has moved to another blog since.
For those who are not aware of what a bento box is, here is a basic...

| Crazy Is A Matter of Perspective - The Sardine Diet |
| 2008-02-02 11:23:29 |
Some foods are best eaten at home, alone, with nary a person around to come up behind you and say "P.U.!" or "Gross!"
Sardines are most definitely one of these foods.
I'm talking of the classic canned sardines lined up in a can covered with oil, mustard, or hot sauce. Perhaps enjoyed with some crackers or on some toasted buttered bread and a slice of raw onion, tossed with pasta. Or, as I had...

| The Black Book of Hollywood Diet Secrets |
| 2008-01-23 23:41:56 |
Being a celeb crazed, Hollywood gossip monger it is only natural I'm a total sucker for celebrity diet secrets. I can barely pass a tabloid with a "Stars Diet Secrets" headline. Sad, but hell, at least I admit it. While the majority of these so called tips are bullshit, I still read on.
So when I got wind of this new book Black Book of Hollywood Diet Secrets by Kym Douglas and Cindy Perlman I...

| Are you A Sucker? Eggplant Extract Diet |
| 2007-08-19 13:06:30 |
Quick test:
Check out this page for "Fat Foe" an eggplant extract diet aid to see how gullible you are.
Click on any link there to find out. You, my savvy readers, probably knew it was phony baloney when you saw the advertisement. Every day thousands of people shell out big bucks for diet products that provide false claims and cause you to lose nothing but money. Don't even read the...

| Diet Patches - Effective As a Postage Stamp On Your Forearm |
| 2007-08-18 14:21:18 |
Sounds so easy, slap a patch on and the next thing you know you're a svelte, skinny little thing.
They have patches for everything, smoking cessation, birth control, menopause, pain, why wouldn't a diet patch not work? Easy folks: we barely have a prescription diet pill that works, and if it did, I am certain big pharma would slap that bitch on patches and hand them out. Other than appetite...

The funny ass women over at Jezebel have two amusing diet related stories today. If you have never checked out Jezebel, you're missing out, snarky, saucy, and ever ready to call bullshit on celebs, journalists, and even lowly folks such as myself:
1. "Fat Burners of Yore"
2. "Celebrity Diets: They Just Might Work?" If you like baby food!
Stephanie from "Back In Skinny Jeans" has a wonderful...

| The TMI Diet - When You End Up Losing Weight Without Really Trying |
| 2007-08-15 20:16:39 |
I've been a hypocondriac as far back as I can remember. The sniffles are pneumonia, a scratch is a wound, and so forth. The lone allergic reaction I've had to a medication has led to 15 years of fear and excitment every time I take a new pill. When I get a cold, it is a full blown affair with me spending a hour in the pharmacy comparing cold meds for content and prices. I'll come out with said...

| eBoost - Energize & Revitalize! |
| 2007-08-13 19:37:34 |
The folks behind eBoost don't promote their energy beverage powder as a diet drink. But I'll be damned if it isn't. Imagine if you will a swankier version of Emergen-C with the kick of Red Bull, and perhaps a kick in the ass from that bull and you've got eBoost.
Me and two co-workers gave the stuff a go this morning. I am so not a morning person. I don't drink a lot of coffee, it gets cold on...

| The Weekend Diet |
| 2007-08-10 20:22:42 |
Weekends use to mean beer and bourbon for me, and it showed. I've tamed my ways and spend more time in nerdville than the bar. Alas, for those who are still out and about, and want to take it easy on the weekend to make amends for a few dietary mishaps during the work week a weekend diet is for you!
Here are a few quick weekend diets to detox that I found:

| Is This The Future of Diets - The Self Absorbed You Tube Diet? |
| 2007-08-09 20:07:56 |
As I've previously mentioned, Weight Watchers and I never worked out very well. Why?
1. I'd miss meetings because of work or laziness, mostly laziness so I'd
2. Have to pay for the missed meetings and
3. When I did go, everyone got on my nerves, either pronouncing them the "Queen of Weight Loss" or asking stupid question. I don't play well with others apparently. Acutally, I'm a social butterfly...

| Pierce Your Ears To Lose Weight? |
| 2007-08-08 22:04:14 |
The woman over at Diet Meals Recipes, has found an interesting way to lose some weight. Or, as my father would call this fad, "cockamamie bullshit."
It is called a "weight-loss staple." According to the blogger (sorry her name is not available) "Dr. Burrows claims that most people who get their ears stapled will lose staggering 10 - 30 pounds a month without any exercise!" Basically it is like...

| Alkalarian is a Not a Religion or a Planet |
| 2007-08-08 22:03:18 |
One of my readers, Alan Who (I wanted to write "Dr.Who") tipped me off to a crazy diet I of which I was not aware-the Alkalarian diet.
Despite my 14 years in the pharmaceutical industry, I am by no means a scientist, so that said I'm going to explain this pretty plainly. I must note that when diets get all scientific on my ass I tend to shy away from them. All I want to do know is, am I going...

| Don't Be a Sourpuss, Try the Grapefruit Diet |
| 2007-08-08 19:53:04 |
There are several foods I can't look out without thinking of dieting: cottage cheese, Melba toast, celery sticks, and grapefruit. As a child I watched my mother go on numerous diets, but they all seemed to involve a half of grapefruit in the morning with Sweet'n'Low and a cup of black coffee. Sweet, sour, and bitter--the taste of diet in the days of yore. It was not uncommon to have a half a...

| Watermelon- A Diet Friendly Food |
| 2007-08-05 16:27:41 |
It is scorching out in my neck of the woods, and nothing is more enjoyable during the summer than a cold treat.
My favorite thing to do this time of year is to cut up some fresh watermelon, put it in a freezable plastic container, and when frozen, eat it with a spoon like Italian ices. Watermelon is mostly just that, water, and naturally sweet. Additionally, you can take the frozen watermelon,...

In no particular order:
1. People ask if you're pregnant
2. People ask if you're pregnant and you're a guy
3. You have rolls...over your shoes/your once sexy ankles are "cankles"
4. Socks and Bras cut off your circulation

| Alli Baba & the Shitty Drawers - Is Diet Drug Worth It? |
| 2007-08-02 01:09:00 |
A reader inquired if I have tried Alli. The answer is no. Why?
a. I have not spoken with anyone who has.
b. I worked on one of the clinical trials of Xenical many years ago, the drug it is also marketed under in a higher dosage by prescription. If you've typed "oily stools" and "anal discharge" for a few months, you'd think twice about taking it. That said, people were losing weight.
c. I am...

| Is It Possible To Lose Weight Without Excercise? |
| 2007-07-31 20:57:18 |
Personally, I've never dropped any el bees without getting my ass off the couch. Between work and sitting at the computer, secretary's spread has been the bane of my existence, and any time I've decided to NOT exercise that spread, well spreads. I can dine on all the carrot sticks and water I want, if I don't move, I don't lose. For those who do, God Bless you and your high metabolism. I was...

| Thank Goodness For Ayds! |
| 2007-07-31 20:56:37 |
I used to beg my mom to buy Ayds diet candies for me as a chubby pre-teen. She never would. Not long after that, sadly, Ayds became a misfortunate name for a diet drug and my hairdresser Tony, died of a whispered "heart attack."
The British Ayds Commercial "Thank Goodness For Ayds!"
The American Ayds Commerical "Ayds Helped me Get Into a Size Six!"...

| 2007-07-22 03:29:11 |
The "Master Cleanse" aka "the Lemonade Diet" diet has been around for a long time, but has recently had a resurgence in popularity due to some comments made by performer Beyonce' about how she dropped weight prior to her starring role in the movie musical "Dreamgirls." Word is that she gained her weight back quite quickly afterwards. Other celebs who allegedly have done the master cleanse have...

| Gazpacho - The Perfect Diet Food |
| 2007-07-21 21:00:18 |
Cool, tasty, refreshing, nutritious, and even filling, gazpacho is the most perfect diet food. For those of you who do not know what gazpacho is, it is the official soup of Spain. It is a cold soup based on tomatoes. As with any colloquial recipe, there are endless versions.
Personally, I like the true Spanish style that includes real tomatoes and some bread. Bread? Diet? Don't fret, the...

| C is For Crazy Cookie Diet |
| 2007-07-21 20:28:27 |
Cookies? Diet? Cookie Diet? Well that sounds totally impossible, doesn't it? Usually the reason why you've gained weight is your love of cookies, so the whole concept of actually eating cookies to lose weight seems nuttier than a oatmeal macadamia cookie!
There are various versions of the cookie diet, and while none of them involve a box of Oreos, they all appear quite cool.
There are two...

| Cucumber Water--A Refreshing Addition To Any Diet |
| 2007-07-21 20:28:08 |
This is not a "crazy diet" but it is a delicious way to perk up all the water that you will drink (and should drink anyway) while dieting. I'm bad about drinking lots of sodas, so this gets me to drink more water.
A few weeks ago I found myself buying some cucumber "flavored" water, which was a total rip-off once I realized I could make my own.
There are those who argue that tap water is just...

| Cabbage Soup Diet - Crazy As It Sounds It Tastes Good! |
| 2007-07-21 20:27:02 |
Ok, there is nothing pretty or cute about the Cabbage Soup Diet except how cute you'll be, according to those who have tried the diet, when you're done.
What's so crazy about cabbage? Well really nothing, but you can't help by think of it's noisy reputation.
The Cabbage Soup Diet is a great stand-alone diet, or even just use the soup as a snack on other diets. Chock full of veggie, the...
