The latest A-lister Diet: Banana Bags.
Banana Bags are the lastest A-lister fad diet. The idea is to make sure your body is nourished, without the calories, by an IV drip full of nutrients. Celebrities and fashionistas are using it to drop the kilos quickly before big events, to fit into that tiny, tiny dress.
Called Banana Bags because they are yellow and hang from your drip “tree”, they are usually made of multivitamins, thiamin, folic acid and s [...]

What's the easiest way to lose weight?
The easiest way to lose weight is to accept that losing weight is not easy. There is no quick fix, there is no magic pill, and there is no exercise-fairy that will do the hard work for you. Hundreds of companies make weight-loss medications and diet foods that claim to help you lose weight easily [...]

Could artificial sweeteners be making you fat?
Splenda, Sweet’N’Low, Nutrasweet, Equal.... It doesn’t matter what they’re called, are they really good for you?

Walking is the best exercise for weight loss, particularly if you are really fat. I mean, hey, if you're 150kg, you're not going to be running for weight loss are you. When I was almost that weight, just walking to the bathroom would tire me out, although walking to the fridge never seemed to be a problem. But the point i'm trying to make, is that if you're really fat (and i'm allowed to say that, because I once was) then all these people and ads and websites and tv and doctors telling you how t [...]

I tried the alkaline diet cause I heard that all the hollywood stars are using it. I think its just another fad, just like the zone diet was when Jennifer Aniston was a big name. I haven't lost any weight. Next I'm going to try the baby food diet. Worked for Cheryl Cole apparently!

This is the best diet ever. It starts off hard and gets easier as you go along. But it works! I lost over 60 pounds and will never look back. I'm happy to keep eating this way too, because now my sugar cravings are gone and i feel healthier and happier than ever. The Dukan Diet is amazing. Try it.

I had lap band surgery and I lost 38kg! Ppl say its the lazy way to loose weight but it trains you to eat less and i've kept up my dieting since the surgery 11 months ago. Ive dropped from size 22 to size 14 and now i can shop in normal stores instead of big-girl stores which is the best feeling in the world.

There's nothing more motivating than wanting to look amazing on your wedding day. Use that motivation to get you going on your weight loss journey. Something inside me just clicked when my boyfriend proposed and from that moment on I was determined to lose my excess weight. I joined a gym and had a personal trainer for one session a week to keep me on track and push me a bit harder. I tracked my calories with myfitnesspal phone app and it's amazing how much you didn't realise what you were putt [...]

I reckon the best way to get in shape is to get a personal trainer. They cost money but there worth it. You need someone to push you and to make you be there ready for training at a particular time. No excuses. Isn't that what they say on biggest loser? And all the stars have personal trainers and personal chefs so they make it look so easy to shed the weight, especially after their babies. Look at Ricki-lee Coulter - she's lucky enough to have a personal trainor boyfriend and she's lost heaps o [...]

My name is Jason; I am 33 years old and in January of 2009 weighed a massive 150.3kgs. Yes I was morbidly obese, and being happily married with 3 children, knew the time had come to take control of my life. I had heard of the Cohen's Diet, through a work college who had achieved fantastic results some 3 years earlier. After some research on the internet, I was convinced that through Dr Cohen's I could turn my weight and life around. What impressed me the most was I would be eating REAL food NOT [...]
