It is time to pay tribute to my fellow diet bloggers. As you may have noticed I am not the only person on the net collecting information on diet programs and diet tips. The community of diet bloggers is constantly growing and so I found it was time to present some of the top diet blogs to you.

A found some articles recently on losing weight after pregnancy. Although it doesn’t affect me at the moment I thought it might be relevant to some readers of this blog and so I decided to do a little blog post about this topic. I have gone through it myself being the proud mother of a daughter, but that was already quite a while ago.

I am going on vacation for one week. “Sounds great!” you might think, but actually I am faced with one of the biggest problems of all dieters: how to stick to your diet while you are on vacation usually surrounded by soooo many delicious foods.

I found an interesting article from the New York Times today. Scientists believe that obesity partly exists because of genetic predisposition and partly because of the wrong lifestyle (simply eating too much).

I’m a medical resident. I work long shifts, skip meals, then eat when I can as fast as I can. I used to carry chocolate bars in my pocket because they were filling and the sugar rush would wake me up. Yeah, I know, doctors don’t lead very healthy lives. But I was getting really big and feeling really heavy and sluggish. I needed to lose weight, and not by starving my already exhausted body. The easiest solution was finding low-fat convenience food. Energy bars, muesli with milk, carrot sticks. It’s easier than most people think, a lot of this is in the supermarkets already.

�My husband and I love good eats. We enjoyed trying out new restaurants. We putter in the kitchen together. When something great happens, we celebrate by making elaborate dinners.
He wasn�t very happy about switching to what he calls my �cow food��
salads, cereals.

And I didn�t feel like making two separate meals, to keep him happy while sticking to my diet. Despite everything I�d give up because it was simpler to just cook something he enjoyed.

There’s an interesting controversy going on at diet-blog.com today – see the following quote:


Besides, there is the embarrassing fact that those who eat and drink junk do so for cheap comfort and because they are either too poor or too ignorant (or both) to prepare healthy food.
