People who remove dairy from their diet have many whole-food options for getting the protein and nutrients they need, along with products such as soy-based milks and cheeses, rice-based ice cream and coconut yogurt. Registered dietitian Rebecca Dority of Texas Christian University says that while dairy alternatives may come close to tasting like the real thing, it is important to compare product labels to ensure they provide adequate nutrition. Today's Dietitian (8/2012) - RD explains why OMG plan is a gimmicky diet
Registered dietitian Keri Gans writes that she is opposed to the OMG diet, citing its limit on fruit consumption and its contention that the body does not recognize the differences in carbohydrates. She writes that the recommendation for taking ice baths to stimulate metabolism will not work and that, while she agrees exercise is important, she's not sure it has to be done in the morning, after drinking coffee and without eating breakfast. U.S. News & World Report/Eat + Run blog (8/30) - Eating in a more relaxed area may lead to lower calorie intake

Swedish researches said the biggest factor in longevity was physical activity and that people who exercised regularly lived an average of two years longer than those who did not. WebMD (8/30) - Alcohol consumption can affect exercise, dietitian says
Alcohol can derail an exercise routine by causing dehydration, poor coordination, fatigue, digestive problems and reduced blood flow, registered dietitian Nicole German writes.
