As if we didn't already suspect this, Americans are not winning it. Just yesterday, another shocking report came out about how people in most states have gotten larger and are exercising less. Obesity rates are ranging from 17% in Colorado to over 30% in Mississippi . Very sad indeed, as increased rates of obesity can lead to all kinds of future health problems.

On a happy note, out comes a very fun read "How to Eat Like a Hot Chick" that I found on AOL Body. This book is chock full of fun tips like eating cake for breakfast and salads for the rest of the day and exchanging those calorie-laden margaritas for rum and diet coke or rum and soda. SIGN ME UP!!

Would love to hear some diets that you guys think sound interesting or that have worked for you!
