Chef Nate Appleman's Secret to Skinny-Making Oatmeal
If you watched the recent episode of Nightline where chefs talked about weight loss, you may have wondered what svelte chef Nate Appleman of A16 in San Francisco was putting into his oatmeal. "I haven't had a doughnut in two and a half years," he said while stirring up the bowl. That was a mix of banana, plain yogurt and almond butter, he tells us in an e-mail. What kind of oats? Steel-cut at the restaurant, instant at home....Video: 'Nightline' Highlights Skinny Chefs

©iStockphoto.com/galdzer Happy New Year, serious eaters. May your 2010 be filled with lots of seriously delicious food (eaten in moderation, of course—this is, after all, a serious diet post) with people whose company you enjoy. That's in fact what we strive to do every day on Serious Eats, and to the extent that we succeed, it's largely because of the warm embrace we receive from the ever-growing community of serious eaters all over the world. But this being a diet post, I hope you allow me to indulge in the age-old practice of New Year's resolutions. They are a cliche—I know that. But nonetheless I am going to lay mine on you. (Plus, I know you are probably thinking...Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 99: Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, Serious Eaters
All right, all right, serious eaters. I am going to dispense with the usual blow-by-blow, bite-by-bite, food-by-food description of all the temptations I've been confronted by this holiday season, because let's face it, you've already heard most of it. And frankly, I'm sure all of you are tempted by the same kinds of things this holiday season. Everyone is confronted by too many cookies, too much chocolate, too many baked goods of every stripe imaginable, too many mini quiches, too many spiced nuts, too much eggnog, too many pigs in a blanket, and too many seriously delicious things in general. In fact, I'd like you to tell me what you have had the hardest time resisting this holiday season...Video: The Food Chain
You may think your diet is okay, but someone else will tell you you're doing it all wrong. You shouldn't eat pork; it's disgusting. Nor fish (you know what kinds of toxins are in the water?). Actually, just don't eat meat; killing animals is inherently wrong. Cooked food is bad too; there aren't any enzymes in it. Hell, just don't eat food. See the breakdown of the dietary food chain in Jeremy Saville's short film , after the jump....The Cookie Diet: Plain Kooky or Just Kooky Enough?
Dr. Sanford Siegal's diet consists of eating cookies. Ed Levine, time to switch up your game. From the New York Times: "I thought, 'That diet looks so incredibly easy,'" said Ms. Kane, 43, a legal secretary in Washington, who started paying $56 a week for the prepackaged cookies in June, when she weighed 255 pounds. Three months later, she was 40 pounds lighter. "If you can make it through the first week you're in the clear," she said The special cookies, now available at Walgreen's and GNC, contain milk-, egg-, and meat-derived proteins along with microcrystalline cellulose, "a plant fiber that acts as a bulking agent, emulsifier and thickener." Siegal created the diet in 1975 but it's only recently...Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 75: Can (and Should) I Give Up the Flavored Liquid Habit?
I've read all the literature on how important drinking plain water is to any meaningful weight loss effort, but I must admit I am having trouble giving up flavored liquids cold turkey. I have managed to kick the Diet Coke habit. But I certainly haven't given up on diet sodas or soft drinks as a whole. Last night I posted about the joys of Fresca. I drink Snapple Diet Cranberry Raspberry Drink because it doesn't have any caffeine. When I'm up on Cape Cod, I drink Cape Cod Cranberry Dry. It's a local soda made with 5% cranberry juice concentrate. I know I shouldn't, but I drink a bottle a day of the stuff. At least I did last week....Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
