Whether you're a runner who wants to drop a few pounds or a non-runner who wants to pick up running to shed some weight, running to lose weight can be tricky. Many people are drawn to cleanses to reset their GI system, but there's no evidence that the cleanses and detoxes you typically read about have any benefit.

The controversial French diet method called Le Forking" remains a popular diet fad, and Americans will probably never tire of hearing about how the French remain famously thin. The basic rule is that you eat whatever you want, as long as you can do it with a fork only (and no fingers).

And yes, using a spork is probably le cheating.
