Another day, another fad diet. In the wake of the Atkins and South Beach diet crazes, a new crop of weight loss advice plans are vying for shelf space. The latest buzzword is Mediterranean. Evoking images of sultry Parisian nights and hot Greek island hopping days, the regions food has become the next big thing. American neurophysiologist Dr. Will Clower has created The French Dont Diet Plan, a delicious lifestyle overhaul that encourages Americans to enjoy not only stinky cheeses, flaky croissants, and creamy sauces in moderation, but also the foods flavor. Clowers rules are simple.
You can eat anything you want, as long as its food. If it aint food, dont eat it. Things like whipped topping. What is that? Its not food! Its a hydrogenated oil, high fructose corn syrup slurry! Its not part of the food chain! he exclaims. Today Clower will lead a seminar that will help make the evening meal a nutritious event to be anticipated, not an unhealthy task to be completed at breakneck speed. Meet the good doctor at 1:30 p.m. at the Wild Oats Marketplace in Pinecrest or at 6:30 p.m. at the Wild Oats Marketplace in Miami Beach (1020 Alton Rd.). Visit www.willclower.com.
