What Next?

So we're done with the Atkins diet and the South Beach diet. Anorexia has not been in style since the days of Twiggy. So what is the new diet fad going to be? The Da Vinci Code Diet.

Yes, that's right. There is a new diet gaining momentum in the subculture of Oprah and all the other perpetual fad dieters. The concept behind this is the "Golden Ratio" which is a mathematical concept used by the builders of pyramids and Leonardo Da Vinci. Da Vinci's use of the Golden Ratio in his paintings was used in the book "The Da Vinci Code."

So apparently if you use the Golden Ratio to restructure your food pyramid, it will help you to lose weight, with the minor side effect of causing you to be gullible enough to believe outrageous and poorly researched heresies.

The proponent of the Da Vinci Code diet is a man named Stephan Lanzolotta from Portland, Maine. I guess we know why it's called the "Da Vinci Code Diet." The "Lanzolotta Diet" just doesn't have the same ring to it, plus it's a pain in the adipose tissue to spell.

The diet consists mainly of fish, cheese, bread, veggies, meats, and nuts. Pretty much the exact opposite of the other recent fad diets.

I'm confused. Is the best diet low fat? or is it low calorie? or is it low carb? or is it low fact and large doses of heresy? I don't know but I do know that these diet gurus need to make up their collective diet-obsessed minds and settle on one lose-weight quick scheme. In the meantime, I'll stick to the "Crispy Creme Diet."

The best diet is a well balanced diet with exercise. you need some fats and certainly carbs. :)

I personally think the "Ceispy Creme Diet" concept sounds just as good as any...though I might perfer the "Dunkin' Donuts" version. :-p

I would probably prefer Dunkin Donuts too. Definately better coffee.
