...scoop up every bite of her dessert, an espresso granita with whipped cream. Still, De Laurentiis turned down nearly all the many alimentary offerings routinely presented to famous chefs by fans and job seekers. Except for two bites of chocolate someone made for her, De Laurentiis ate nothing from the many gift platters. In Mischel's terms, she has acquired "self-regulatory competence": she can cool the gluttonous impulses activated in our lizard brains when we see food...
Goin can do it too. When we had dinner, she ate from the seven-course menu enthusiastically. But it was her first and only meal of the day. During a 5 1/2-hr. plane ride that day, she had consumed only nuts...
...just like Mischel's weak-willed subjects. In Goin's first restaurant job, she would stand in the walk-in and eat so much ice cream with strawberries that she couldn't touch dinner. De Laurentiis was even worse. As a student at Le Cordon Bleu Paris, she often ate only what she cooked. "Some days were just pastry days," she says. "So Giada made about 50 croissants. Well, Giada ate 50 croissants." Eventually she gained 15 lbs. "It's taken me some time to learn to control myself," she says. But she did learn; her weight has been stable...
...culinary standout. Celebrated for its complex stews, bold flavors, unusual ingredients and intricate cooking techniques, the area has long attracted gourmets from around the world (the most daring will munch on chapulines - fried grasshoppers). Cabrera began offering lessons after getting repeated requests for recipes from travelers who ate in her family's restaurant, La Olla. But what began seven years ago as an occasional class has turned into a semiweekly event often sold out a month ahead in high season, from December to March. Across town, chef Iliana de la Vega has had similar success with the courses she offers...
...studies were flawed. The J.A.M.A. study included subjects who were on low-salt diets for a very short time--perhaps too short for any effect to be noticed. And the BMJ study could not effectively measure the influence of other factors that could have made a difference. Those who ate less salt may also have watched what they ate in general, for example, exercised more or been less overweight...
