...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, at 117 lbs., for several years. (Goin thinks she weighs 135 but says she doesn't regularly weigh herself...
Avoid foods containing high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). It's not just in cereals and soft drinks but also in ketchup and bologna, baked goods, soups and salad dressings.

He also revealed why he got into leg pressing: bad knees...
...that saw numerous injuries hamper Harvard’s chances for a run at the Ivy title, the Crimson (5-8-1, 2-2-1) nevertheless did not give in to even the best opponents. Sidelined by a leg injury for the first half of the season, Meltzer (141 lbs.) came back strong and finished the season 16-5. Preston (133 lbs.) also suffered a leg injury that kept him out of the lineup for over a month, but he still finished 21-7. Harvard wrestled the entire season without a contestant at 125 lbs., which meant many automatic forfeits...
