Margaret Cho Diet

Margaret Cho has been super busy these days. She’s lost 40 pounds and can be seen on her new reality series on VHI The Cho Show. She’s tried a slew of diets – the raw diet, the macrobiotic diet, the fruits only diet – and a diet so extreme that it caused her to be hospitalized with kidney failure. Despite this she says “I was still fat.” Margaret reveals how she lost the weight on the “whatever” diet…
Margaret Cho’s “Whatever” Diet
Starting in 2003, shes ate “whatever” – pizza, french fries… whatever! And since then has managed to lose 40 pounds. She eats anything including “ice cream, chips, everything.”
When I was on crazy diets, I’d gain weight because I would binge on diet food! I learned that any restriction on the kind of food I was eating was going to be problem. By saying I can eat whatever I want, I don’t crave it as much
She’s ditched the spinning classes for belly dancing classes. She’s also developed a positive mindset “I don’t trip about the number that is on the inside of my clothes.”
Margaret’s tips on losing weight on “whatever”
1. She eats “only when I’m hungry.”
2. Her big meals are breakfast and lunch. She opts for a small dinner at 4 pm
Margaret looks great and she illustrates that you can lose weight any number of ways. For her, she learned to have the foods she loved and still lose weight by eating consciously (when she was hungry), avoiding late night snacking and practicing portion control. As far as the diet the put her in the hospital… it’s probably a “detox” fasting diet I talked about earlier.
Do you think you can lose weight the “whatever” way?

Portion control and exercise is the only way to lose weight and/or maintain weight. Wild, crazy fashion diets don’t work!
Great she did this sensibly. She looks great!
This is the exact approach to eating outlined in Martha Beck’s “The Joy Diet”. I’m trying it now — have to work on the portion control part.

What?!?!
If you actually *read* Margaret Cho’s entry about her ‘F-it Diet’ this is not what she is saying at all! She is not advocating for watching portion size or not eating after a certain time. She is talking about how she gave up on losing weight, and decided to love her body as is. The weight loss was an unintentional side effect.
Margaret seems like a huge advocate for body-love and size acceptance, and I doubt she would agree with this take on what she was saying.
