Trendy diets come and go - and many dieters are only capable of sticking with their plans for a few weeks anyway. But the weight loss industry, which is worth about $60 billion a year in the U.S., is clearly here to stay. Whether your diet goal is fitting into your jeans or geared toward longevity, we get some insight into the fad diets of the day and advice on maintaining a healthy weight from nutrition experts.

I was disappointed with the lack of real nutrition information in this program. They seemed to focus on extreme diets, (despite saying that fad diets do not work) not healthy nutrition at all. Seemed pointless to spend several minutes there towards the end discussing how people who wanted to, could gain weight....after stating early on that obesity IS the number one health problem in America today.
At one point one of the experts on the show mentioned cultures where heart disease is virtually non-existant, but then failed to elaborate on the diets of those people. They are certainly not vegan as there have never been any traditional vegan cultures. They are certainly not existing on red, yellow, orange and green veggies...or any such extreme diet.
I understand your disappointment and apologize that I didn't get a chance to share more specific information. The following links will help:

What about the longditudinal study that came out this year showing that eating yougurt and nuts helped people lose weight? And where am I going to find humus without oil?
