Ever wonder why 'fad' diets are so popular? Here's a good article that explains the fad diet / 'quick weight loss' phenomenon. Very interesting.

I always like to hear stories about people getting into shape and completely turning around their lives. If you're a golf fan, you might have heard the story about Darren Clarke, a down-and-out golfer from Ireland who has revitalized his career by losing weight and getting into shape. Clarke is doing very well right now in the Accenture Match Play Championship taking place in Carlsbad, CA.
