GiggleSugar — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 02:00:00 -0800

Like millions of American women, are you, too, planning on dieting in 2009 as part of your new year's resolution? Well, you can listen to "terrifying imp" Richard Simmons, or you can take advice from the woman I want to be my best friend: Sarah Haskins. Just follow her brilliant tips, like swapping out your usual six pack of beer for dinner for a fifth of whisky. Or better yet, buy her new diet book, Stick It in Your Ear the innovative diet book that guarantees weight loss through sticking food in your ear hole instead of your pie hole. BRILLIANT.

Bride Puts Her Bridesmaids on a Diet

GiggleSugar — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 14:00:00 -0700

This week kicks off the Sugar network's "Wedding Planning Mania" coverage, which means there'll be a whole bunch of bridezillas up in here. WE TV has a series that follows brides-to-be around town while they hoot, holler, and make a hostile effort to plan their weddings. The 'zilla below ordered all of her beautiful (but "five pounds" overweight) bridesmaids to follow a strict no-carb diet - oh all right, with an itty-bitty spoonful of rice on the side. They've got ugly dresses to squeeze into!

To see all of our wedding season coverage, check out IDoSugar.com.

1974 Weight Watchers Recipe Cards

GiggleSugar — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 04:00:00 -0800

The idea behind these 1974 Weight Watchers recipe cards is quite simple. Create enigmatically named food that looks revolting, and dieters will totally lose their appetites. I mean, "Liver Paté en Masque" (shown above) looks like it's covered in grey glue. And then there's "Caucasian Shashlik," (don't ask), "Jellied Tomato Refresher" (yum!), and "Fluffy Mackerel Pudding" (fluffy!). Look below if you dare.

90210 Explains Everything

GiggleSugar — Wed, 06 Jun 2007 08:00:00 -0700

I was a HUGE 90210 fan back in the day (okay, and maybe I'm a closet Dylan fan...still), so it comes as no surprise that Diet Pepsi would tap into the program's popularity to sell some cola. My only problem is: if Brenda only likes Coke because she hates Dylan (who likes Diet Pepsi), then that makes poor Andrea a loner in the Coke crew. Why must everyone be so darn cruel to Andrea?! It's not very nice. (Thanks for the giggle, Phil!)

Death Metal Cookie Monster

It seems as though the Cookie Monster's fighting withdrawals from his recent cookie cutback, and he's letting it affect his work. Can somebody tell me how not to get to "Sesame Street"? I hear the whole place is going downhill these days.

Flashback: Susan Powter in "Stop The Insanity!"

GiggleSugar — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 04:00:00 -0700

Susan Powter rose to fame in the early 90's by raging against the diet industry, shouting at the top of her lungs, and sporting a platinum blonde crew cut. As the the wikipedia entry notes, "Though no longer in the limelight as she once was, she continues to write and motivate." She does indeed. Enjoy!

Got Middle Of The Night Munchies?

GiggleSugar — Fri, 07 Sep 2007 07:00:00 -0700

This lady has them and she's about to get her grub on. She's cheating on her diet, which explains her reaction when she gets caught cheese-handed with her head in the fridge. Would you like a broom with that floor of food, madam?

Freakalicious Japanese Diet Drink Ad

Once again, the Japanese are takin' it to a whole new surreal level. "Let's" take a look, shall we?

Dieting Sucks

Which is why this chick should just eat the whole damn sandwich, and have nachos for dessert. Sheesh, live a little!
