Why You Should Try the Anti-Diet
Some people feel so left behind by technology that they hold out in futile rebellion, cellphone-free and miserable. I’ve experienced the same with food. Since I’ve been old enough to choose, I’ve definitely chosen beef, bacon, muffins and chips. Oh, chips. Blessed with decent genes, I don’t ever worry too much about what I ate. That is, until my […]

A photo posted by Kim Kardashian West (@kimkardashian) on Mar 16, 2015 at 9:40pm PDT Quirky celebrity routines aren’t anything new. In Rebecca Harrington’s new book, I’ll Have What She’s Having: My Adventures in Celebrity Dieting, the author tries food fads of the rich and famous.

Digital Diet: Are fitness and diet apps helpful or ushering in a new era of online shaming?
The current fitness landscape provides endless ways to track your every mouthful, workout and calorie burned. As Lisa Jeans knows, the outcome isn’t always healthy.
Sweaty and breathing hard, I pulled out my phone and opened MyFitnessPal. After morning Ashtanga yoga and a sunset run along the Vancouver Sea Wall, my “calories remaining” count was 1,000. I was ecstatic—I had burned more than I had eaten. An advisory in red letters popped up: “Based on your total calories consumed for today, you are eating too few calories.”
“I’ve been caught,” I thought. I may have started using the app to help me train for a 10k run, but I have struggled with an eating disorder in the past, and at times I fall back into the vortex of anorexic thinking.
Technology is democratizing the fitness industry. While you might not be able to work out with a celebrity trainer, you can sweat like Serena Williams (in theory) with the Nike Training Club app. Smartphone and tablet users have access to hundreds of custom get-fit programs, meal plans and activity monitors to keep them on track and provide a social media cheering section. But they have their limits. “An app is you working on this project by yourself,” says Dr. John Berardi, co-founder of Precision Nutrition, a health coaching company that has developed an online tool to help serve its clients—he calls the new paradigm Fitness 2.0. “You don’t get wisdom, you get information.”

How to survive a juice cleanse: The inside scoop on everything that happens during a 3-day juice detox

Here’s their take on what 72 hours of juice-only consumption is really like.

Down with diets, vertical workouts and more: 4 healthy innovations you need to know about now
Ever the pioneer in getting us to run faster, farther and more frequently, Nike has launched a futuristic new running shoe that weighs in at less than eight ounces. The Flyknit Lunar1+ ($195, nike.com) fits like a second skin—it almost feels like wearing socks—with cushiony Lunarlon, a resilient foam that keeps runners’ soles supported and comfortable. The upper part of the shoe is nearly seamless, which cuts down on materials by a claimed 80 per cent. Nike’s Toronto flagship on Bloor Street is home to its only machine in Canada that steams the shoes before fitting them perfectly to each unique pair of feet; even after removing the shoes an outline of your toes will be visible (Canadian Olympic triathlete Paula Findlay was first in line to test the shoes, remarking how well they molded to her feet before taking them out for a winter jog). And the only thing better than putting on a toasty pair of kicks is the neon colour combos they come in. —Caitlin Agnew
