Ok, so who of you out there has tried a diet at some time or another? And how many different ones would that be?

Earlier this year there were reports in the press that by the age of 45, the average woman in the UK will have tried 61 diets....

I have just been listening to the radio for the past hour and to be honest, I feel a bit low. I've been trying to think what is wrong and it's just come to me. I have heard nothing but bad news, rumbling on as a soundtrack to the other...

Here in the UK it has already been a quite a summer of sport and 'The Big One' (the Olympics, in case you have escaped the hype - if that is even possible?) is still to come.
