Brooks Carder, author of "The Laguna Beach Diet," has developed an eating plan that seems very doable to me. Based on the Mediterranean diet, it doesn't require two weeks of starvation in the beginning or counting calories. The diet does require you eat lots of fish, chicken, vegetables, fruit, red wine and olive oil. You can even have dark chocolate. But red meat and sugar must be rare treats. Dr. Carder doesn't promise fast weight loss. He does believe that this way of eating is healthier than any other and, for most people, will result in gradual weight loss.
