Exotic yet ordinary

This morning I received an email from eDiets (the bastards) with info about some new fangled diet - the Cheaters Diet. Created by a weight loss guru by the name of Dr. Paul Rivas, the diet supposedly allows you to indulge while you slim.

A Mediterranean-style diet of seafood, vegetables, lean cuts of meat, olive oil, salads and berries is encouraged during the weekdays, and then on the weekend you can choose from the recommended "cheat foods" (pizza, chocolate, wine, beer and other 'comfort food'). This basically sounds like what I'm (trying) to do now. I just need to move my cheating ways to the weekend instead of indulging a bit each day.

The good doctor has a book explaining how you, too, can cheat yourself thin. It all sounds silly and simple and a little too good to be true. But, I think this diet would easily be the least difficult for me to stick with. I'd especially excell at the cheating. Of course, I'm too skeptical (and cheap) to fork over the $12.89 for the book, so I'll keep rocking along on my current course of diet and exercize and hope for the best.
