Money Diet
Much as I love the idea of the pizza diet, I don't see it taking off.
As you may have heard -- it's received quite a bit of press over the past several months -- Matt McClellan, a St. Petersburg, Fla., pizzeria owner, has been championing what he calls the "pizza diet." He says that he's lost 24...
Money Diet, week 23: Trying out the despicable three-day diet
11:00AM 6/14/2010
It's day one, and I'm famished. And it's all my fault.
A few weeks ago, one of my editors and I decided we'd take a break from a weekly update of the "Money Diet" and make it a sporadic feature. After all, I'm losing weight at the speed of molasses (yum, that sounds good), and we just thought it...
The Money Diet, week 21: Exercising, Indiana Jones-style
10:00AM 5/28/2010
"The turkey you're eating," my brother told me as I bit into my sandwich, "is actually tofu. And the cheese is actually rice cheese."
That's probably the most memorable thing I heard during week 21 of "The Money Diet." I was on a hike with my brother, Kevin, and we were sitting on a bench on the...
Last week, I got some great news and some terrible news.
The great news? I was asked if I wanted to be interviewed on CNN, to discuss a book that I recently co-authored.

I'm thinking a lot about serving sizes this week. Several days ago, I went to the grocery store and bought a low-fat garden vegetable lasagna frozen meal. Made by a company called Cedarlane, it was very tasty and pretty healthy (I have no beef with the food and am not really looking to pick a...
I have a new theory about food, one I developed after watching some ducks in my neighborhood. We have these two ducks that seem to live on our street, which is your typical suburban street that's more or less in the Ohio countryside. There's a nondescript lake about a 10-minute walk away, where I...
Several days ago, I was in my kitchen, mid-morning, feeling peckish when I suddenly remembered there was a breakfast sandwich in the freezer. And I just figured, "Well, I'll eat it. What's the harm?"
But as the microwave seconds ticked away, I made the mistake of looking at the nutritional...
Money Diet, Week 16: Time to drop the gym membership
12:45PM 4/23/2010
It probably sounds like the last thing anyone trying to lose weight should do, but I just dropped our family membership at the YMCA.
On paper, it looks so easy. If you want to lose weight, you eat less and exercise more. But, of course, reality always intrudes, and the reality is that for the past...
Money Diet, Week 15: Insult doesn't add to injury
9:00AM 4/16/2010
Apparently, my weight problem is a little more noticeable than I realized.
So it's last Sunday, and I'm at a restaurant with my two daughters (6 and 8-years old), my parents, my 85-year-old grandmother, two uncles and two aunts, when this friend of the family saunters up to our table, cracking...
Jellybeans, hollow chocolate rabbits, an Easter ham, a few dozen, dyed, hard-boiled eggs that later became egg salad: Considering all the ways I could have sabotaged my diet this week, I'm feeling pretty victorious. No, I didn't lose any weight this week, but I didn't gain any, either.
