Living and Raw Foods Diet
I've been hearing a lot about people on a Raw Foods Diet. It's also called a Living Foods Diet, and many celebrities such as Demi Moore, Woody Harrelson, Bryan Adams, Alicia Silverstone and Robin Williams have reportedly been seen at raw food restaurants and have tried it. Designer Donna Karan and actor Jeremy Piven shed pounds eating raw foods.
What's the Deal With the Raw Food Diet
If I were ever to dabble in eating a raw food diet, I would choose to do so in Summer. There is an abundance of produce in season that is especially uncooked – peaches versus butternut squash. But eating "raw" is about more than just eating salads; it is a complex diet.
Carol Alt Eats It Raw
Carol Alt used to hit the runways, but now she's hitting the produce aisle, since she's way into the raw food diet. She's been following it for the past 12 years, so what got her hooked? Early in her modeling career, she was told to lose weight and did so by dieting (and depriving herself) silly.
Healthy Eating Tip: Text Your Food to DIET1
Deciding what you want to eat at a restaurant can be hard, especially when nutritional information is not easily accessible. In situations like this, just send a text message to DIET1 (34381). Include the restaurant and the menu item in your message, and the service will respond with a text containing the information you requested.
Can You Scale the Food Pyramid?
The old food pyramid you remember from grade school got an upgrade in 2005, but the basic sentiment remains the same. The government guidelines advise eaters to choose a variety of foods from the different food groups in order to eat a balanced diet. How much do you know about the food pyramid?
Foods That Could Bust Your Diet
We all try so hard to keep to a healthy diet, but sometimes we may be trying so hard that we don't realize we are doing more harm than good. To keep us on top of things, WebMD has created a list of the top diet busting foods (and I have elaborated):
- Soups: Stay away from cream based soups and stick to low calorie soups that are broth based.
- Sugar-Free Cookies: No Sugar does not mean no calories or that it's good for you.
- Pork: Stick to tenderloin and sirloin if you need the other white meat.
- Coffee: Orange Frappuccino - Need I say more?
- Salad Dressings: Get dressing on the side or water it down and check out my nutritional breakdown on popular dressings.
- Breakfast Bars: Watch out for high fructose corn syrups.
- Dried Fruits and Granola: A handful of both is OK, with more than that you'll be adding more calories and fat.

I am loving this new book, The F-Factor Diet ($16.47). The basis of the book is to make sure that the foods you eat the most of have enough fiber. I love the idea of adding more fiber into your diet, not only for weight loss, but for the amazing benefits it brings (reduced risk of heart disease).
