The No-Diet Diet Is the Next Big Thing
Posted on Jan 15th 2009 7:00PM by Martha Edwards
Most of us have come to accept that diets don't work. So it's only natural, then, that the next big trend in dieting is ... to not diet at all. But intentionally not dieting is, in a sense, a different sort of diet. Confused yet? There is a method to this madness -- I'll explain. Esther Blum, author of Eat, Drink and Be Gorgeous and nutritionist to celebs like SJP and Teri Hatcher is the one spearheading this non-diet diet. She thinks you should ditch the detoxes, the gimmicks, the so-called quick fixes and just. start. living. The first step is accepting your body -- flaws, curves and all. The second is eating what you want, as long as it's fresh, natural and wholesome (yes, this even includes butter.) The third is signing up for exercise that you actually like. You can read more here.
Sounds fun ... but does it work? Considering that Blum herself is teeny tiny, just like the celebs who endorse her book, I'd say it probably has some merit. Your thoughts?
