Weekly Costs of the Ten Most Popular Diets

The median diet worked out to a costly $85.79 a week–that’s 58% more than the $54.44 the average single American spends on food. Our price calculations for the foods on each menu were done on a per-serving basis. Prices came from New York City-based online grocer Fresh Direct and were adjusted to the national average to control for any price differential.

Jenny Craig dieters were the hardest hit. A week’s worth of food, which includes Jenny Craig-supplied meals and supplemental snacks, cost $137.65. The informal (but for spokesman Jared Fogle, effective) Subway Sandwich Diet was the least expensive of the bunch, at $68.60 a week.

State Fair of Texas is almost here

Time to get your Deep-Fried Coca-Cola and Deep Fried Mac and Cheese

“Ultimately, it’s your waistline. So you’’ve got to ask yourself: Which of the new culinary treats at the State Fair of Texas are worth the calories?

The judges made their official pick Monday: Fried Praline Perfection took home the crown as the tastiest fried delicacy at the second annual Big Tex Choice Awards Contest.

The coconut and pecan pralines, battered and deep fried, of course, beat out fried macaroni and cheese, a deep-fried cosmopolitan and other not-so-healthy treats to win the coveted title.

The three-judge panel chose Fried Coke as the most creative new fried treat.”
