Myth vs. Reality When It Comes To Diets
CNN is wrapping up its’ cross-country food journey. Our mission: to get fresh answers about how our food is grown... how the choices we make impact our health... our state of mind... our budgets and the pure joy of eating. We teamed up with the new CNN.com food destination, Eatocracy.com to bring you Eatocracy: Mind, Body and Wallet.
Today’s theme “Myth vs. Reality”…and that has us talking about diets. Most people will do whatever it takes for those six-pack abs, to fit in those size 4 jeans again or even be fit like your favorite celebrity. Seriously, you name it there’s a way to lose weight… Remember those Jane Fonda workouts, 8 minute Abs, Suzanne Somers’ Thighmaster, Tae-Bo, the Flexmaster, detox diets, low-carb diets, the grapefruit diet, the baby food diet… yes, there’s even a coffee diet! Oh, and don’t forgot the Subway diet it worked for Jared, right?
C’mon admit it you know you’ve tried at least one of those diets. While some of them work… many are just duds or even disasters. So, tell us your diet story. Which ones you’ve tried… which ones worked for you or didn’t? We want to hear from you, and Kyra Phillips will read some of them during the 10 o’clock hour of CNN Newsroom.
