>My father-in-law lives by the Grapefruit diet. I don't know the particulars, but whenever he feels the need to lose 10 pounds he goes back on it for a few weeks. It works, and he doesn't have to cut back very much on other foods. Just a few strategically eaten grapefruits and/or grapefruit juice...


That one has been around since I was a kid. (Which was before you were a gleam in your dad's eye). I think the principle is that it's so unappealing and unappetizing you don't feel like eating anything at all.

Any news on the dog front?
