If you read The Median Sib regularly you know that I’ve tried a couple diets lately.  Nutrisystem was a bomb.  I shipped all the food back today.  A lot of it was simply inedible.  Now I’ve ordered a week’s worth of The Biggest Loser food.  My shipment should arrive tomorrow, and I’ll let you know how that goes.

Now there are two other diets that are making headlines:  The DASH Diet, and the Dr. Siegal’s Cookie Diet. 

Here’s a little info on the DASH Diet:

A healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables and low in fat has long been touted as heart smart. Now, increasing evidence suggests that a similar diet reduces blood pressure and decreases a woman’s risk for heart attack and stroke.

Scientists reporting in the April 14 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine have found that healthy, middle-aged women who closely followed the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet have lower rates of cardiovascular disease (CVD) than women who do not follow such diets.

And Dr. Siegal’s Cookie Diet:

Obesity expert and author Dr. Sanford Siegal, best known as the creator of the popular Dr. Siegal’s® COOKIE DIETâ„¢ weight loss system and hunger controlling foods, today announced that he has posted on the CookieDiet.com web site a new entry in his personal blog that addresses recent comments made by Madonna pertaining to husband Guy Ritchie’s loss of libido while on “the cookie diet”. Madonna made her comments last week during an interview on the Johnjay and Rich radio show which originates on KZZP-FM in Phoenix, Arizona. Coincidentally, Dr. Siegal’s company is a frequent advertiser on the station.

Hmmm - not that’s not the kind of publicity Dr. Siegal wanted!
Stay tuned for my review of the Biggest Loser Meal Plan.
