"i ate a pie" news and stories

Diet is definitely a word with a capital "D". It strikes fear into the hearts, stomachs and mouths of many who associate the word with dry, flavorless rice cakes and endless bowls of cabbage soup. But fear not: there are more than a few dieting blogs to help get you through the new year without any new pounds.

• On Slashfood, we ran a Healthy New Year series of posts with tips to get you through your day: breakfast, bringing a lunch to work, eating lunch out, snacking, tasty dinners and worry-free desserts.
• Hungry Girl offers advice, diet tips and tricks and a few of her own recipes to help you lose any lingering holiday pounds.
• Calorie Lab has a calorie counter, BMI calculator and an up-to-the-minute health news section.
• I Ate a Pie reviews any and all "healthy" diet foods, from low-carb to fat-free.
• Diet-Blog tracks down any and all diet trends, truths and lies. It's a great source for diet-related news.
• Kalyn's Kitchen is the blog of a dedicated low-carber, who puts together lots of easy to follow recipes with great photos.
• Baking Low Fat has - you guessed it - a collection of low-fat baked goods, from breads to brownies.

These are not even a small percentage of all the blogs and websites that regularly or occasionally cover dieting and healthy eating, but they're a good place to start.
