Moreover, I've heard about studies that show that 5-10 pounds overweight is healthy. It gives you a reserve if you get really sick, for example. It gives you more leeway before you get dehydrated. So what's "healthy" is style, what's "perfect" is pretty much genetic. And meanwhile we get dizzy, broke, and probably even fat, trying to follow the diet-of-the-day.

And that hotty Julia Child just turned 90, and celebrated with a week's worth of indulgent meals.
