From the NYT comes this story about the Cookie Diet, a diet plan in which you survive on &#8220;six prepackaged cookies a day, plus one ‘real’ meal — say, skinless chicken and steamed vegetables.&#8221; The idea here seems to be that you will be so entranced by the idea of eating the sinful &#8220;cookies&#8221; that [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kateharding.net&blog=920046&post=3838&subd=kateharding&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Shapelings over 40: My fellow VC alum Kristyn Kusek Lewis just posted the following Facebook update:
For an upcoming magazine story that I&#8217;m writing, I&#8217;m looking for women over 40 who finally learned to love their bodies when they stopped dieting, obsessing over the scale, and/or gave up an &#8220;old way&#8221; of thinking about diet and exercise.

A couple people have e-mailed me (thank you) about Bob Greene saying on Larry King that it&#8217;s healthier to yo-yo diet than stay fat. Specifically:
King: Is fluctuating weight like Kirstie Alley bad, Bob?
 Greene: Well, there&#8217;s two sides to that story. First off, if you remain heavy, that&#8217;s when the most damage is done to your heart [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kateharding.net&blog=920046&post=2956&subd=kateharding&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
