Trend Alert: Antidiet Diet Books
Move over, Atkins and South Beach: antidiet books are the new diet books.

Celeb trainer Harley Pasternak has traveled the world while keeping A-list celebs in A-plus shape, and he took some notes on international eating habits while on the road.

The contrast between Ten Years Thinner ($26) and The Thrive Diet is a case in point.

What's the Deal with The Cardio Free Diet?
Anyone watching Good Morning America the other day may have seen the piece they did on The Cardio Free Diet ($13.80). Anyone who knows anything about exercise was probably just as stunned as I was.
The basic principal of the Cardio Free Diet is that cardio is a waste of time and it ruins your diet by making you hungry all of the time, so you shouldn't do it and should focus on weight training instead.
