We at That's Fit and AOL Health know that you've got a lot going on in your lives besides staying in great shape, and we know that a lot more than diet and exercise goes into feeling your best every day. That's why we thought we'd share some of the exciting reporting going on at AOL Health.

While we can't condone crash dieting as a weight-loss program, even nutritionists, fitness trainers and healthy dieters use a "quick fix" on occasion. That's why we went to the experts for their healthy and safe short-term weight loss tips for quick weight turnarounds.

There's a new calorie-burning drink in town -- Celcius. But does it actually work? Find out about negative foods and drinks on AOL Health.

In the long line of celebrity yo-yo dieters, first there was Oprah, then there was Jennifer Love Hewitt, next Jessica Simpson received media attention (heckling) for her fluctuating figure. Find out on AOL Health which other stars have difficulty maintaining the same shape (and why).

The only "crash" diet that has really worked for me long term has been the Smart for Life Cookie Diet (http://www.smartforlife.com). I lost about 55 lbs and have kept it off for about a year now.

Let me know if anybody has tried it as well.

Hi,
Has anyone used or has tried a diet program designed to help you lose weight fast. It’s called The Smart For Life Cookie Diet. Their web sites which speak about diet, weight loss, and the cookie diet are at http://www.smartforlifedietcookie.com or http://www.smartforlife.com, or even http://www.thecookiediet.com, they are all the same. I have tried it and it seems to be a great way to control your appetite. Their medical diet program claims to help you lose 14 lbs. in a very short time. But you have to be examined by a doctor first. So I don't know anyone has been on this long term and its effects.

Thanks.
