READING about celebrities' diet practices can give you quite a headache. What is the macrobiotic diet that Gwyneth Paltrow follows, or the Zone diet that Jennifer Aniston is on?

Do magazines and tabloid newspapers really have all the secrets to the stars' diets and weight loss methods?

Are those contestants on The Biggest Loser for real?

These are some of the common questions I get from women who confide in me about their dieting problems. And, of course, the most frequently asked question of all is: How can I lose weight quickly?
