I don't want to alarm anyone, but the medical advice dispensed from Dr. Oz miiiiight not be totally valid.

It's January 2015—time to leave that holiday trend called "eating" behind and starve your tender, fragile bodies of nutrients. Oscar-winning director Lee Daniels is doing it! He's only eating carrots! He's ONLY EATING CARROTS. To honor this amazing decision, several Jezebel staffers have attempted to extract…
We've barely staggered through the first round of company Christmas parties and already we're getting slammed with New Year's resolution-related content (and unfortunately not the Otis Redding/Carla Thomas duet, either). Today's news: Gents' weight-loss goals are most likely to be derailed by liquor and Game of…

Usher, a healthy 36-year-old man, seems like the type who'll do what it takes to keep his body in proper working order and that includes experimenting with weird diets. Atkins? He's done that. Paleo? Been there. Macrobiotics? Ok, sure. Now he's on a diet based on his blood type.

If there's one thing I love, it's cheese-covered gluten. And if there are two things I love, they're cheese-covered gluten and making fun of lifestyle guru and noted Veela Gwyneth Paltrow.

Senator Claire McCaskill, chair of the Senate's Consumer Protection panel, is NOT JAZZED ABOUT DR. OZ.

The Internet has spoken: Quit with the bullshit. Your diet is not fun. You didn't eat that donut you posed with on Instagram. We know what's up, and what's up is that your excitement about kale is a pure farce, an insult to all bearers of mouths. I am here to disagree.

Meet Freelee "The Banana Girl," a self-styled diet guru who has developed a program consisting of large meals of a single raw fruit or vegetable. In one YouTube video, she demonstrated how she consumes 51 bananas in one day, adding a new, pun-y layer to the whole "you are what you eat" ethos. B-A-N-A-N-A-S.

Music festivals used to be a place for people to gather to listen to their favorite bands, make some love in the mud and maybe get stabbed to death by the Hells Angels, but sadly, those wholesome days are over.

It took more than a year of wedding planning, but it finally happened: I snapped and started frantically scanning the Internet for weight-loss schemes.
