The Hollywood woman is always svelte but trends in body lines change almost as much as the dresses. Several women, such as Eva Longoria Parker, Claire Danes, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Tina Fey were sporting column dresses. What does this mean for you at the gym?

ABC confirmed today that it will bring Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution back for a second season. This time, the show will be based in Los Angeles.
Food Revolution is set for six episodes and will premiere later this fall. Jamie creates a feel good show, focusing on getting ordinary folks battling obesity to live healthier lives. It was so inspiring that it won it’s time slot when it debuted and even garnered an Emmy for Outstanding Reality Programming.
I look forward to seeing the juxtaposition of Hollywood glamour with the reality of most Angelenos. One of Jamie’s strengths is compassion for the people he comes in contact with. He truly cares and tries to get the message across as painlessly as possible that obesity can kill you. Last season’s show featured mass cooking demonstrations, jousting with local radio hosts, a flash mob dance scene and lots of hugs and tears.
Yes, I’m a fan of the show and am very happy it’s back. Jamie Oliver has been helping to highlight the US obesity problem, four months later I believe we’re close to a tipping point of people actively trying to improve their health and I believe another season will only help the momentum.
How did you feel about Jamie’s show last season? Are you happy he’s back again? Do you think being British helps or hurts him as he spreads his message?

Find a diet that appeals to you and give it a go. If you’re following the diet to a T and not much is happening, drop it and try another one. It’s not you; it’s just the wrong approach for you.
This article will get you off to a great Fall and jolt you out of any fitness ruts you might be in. What will you do for your fall fitness plan?
When people become overweight it’s because they eat more than their bodies need. Duh, right? Well, as we gradually overeat, we slowly lose the ability to tell when we’re “full” and our bodies have had enough. But researchers have discovered that exercise can help reset that button.
Phooey on January; it’s got nothing on September. Now is an excellent time of year to make a resolution. It’s the end of summer, you’re relaxed, the weather is lovely. There’s no peer pressure to “do something.” School is beginning and a feeling of productivity is in the air.
We need a trusted source to give us information about getting fit. Yeah sure, I’d like to be considered one of those sources, but what about the medical community? They should be on the front line of the obesity war. They should trade in the white coats for a pair of sweats.
You know the scene in the movies? The one with the couple flat on their backs, gazing at the ceiling, sheets draped artfully and messily, a deep look of satisfaction on their faces, maybe a sigh. Sex makes you happy, at least for a few moments. But what about later? What about the rest of your life?
The swirl of smoke, the sultry voice echoing through the theater. How elegant; how impossibly chic. We were mesmerized by the effortless cool of old-style Hollywood movies. Now we might think, “Why is that pretty girl sucking on a cancer stick?”
Everyone wants their kids to grow up with the best opportunities. We certainly don’t want to plant the seeds of mortality now by allowing sedentary lifestyles and diets geared towards heart attacks later in life. Here’s how we can grow our kids healthy, starting today.

Injuries happen. You were “oh so cool” doing your hero athlete move one minute and then face first in the dirt with a guaranteed trip to the emergency room the next. Once the pain subsides, you’re left with stiffness or tenderness and a prescription for a physical therapist. How do you choose the best one?
Denny’s Fried Cheese Melt weighs in at over 63 grams of fat! Is this even remotely healthy?
Stop. Enough. Everyone is ridiculously busy. Everyone has a million interruptions every day. Everyone is tired and cranky when they get home. Enough.
I have been wearing two pairs of the Five Fingers shoes for the last 3 weeks now and I’m falling in love with them. The company sent me a pair each of their Performa and Performa Janes to test out in my studi
I was traveling through Montpelier, VT and happened upon the Coffee Corner Diner for lunch. It’s the kind of place you find in little towns (ok Montpelier is the capital of VT but it’s still a small town vibe) all over New England. You don’t really expect the food to be healthy but you know it’ll taste great.
