...South Beach (Florida) diet. Now get ready for the latest plans from California's Sonoma County and New York City's Park Avenue. Based on the particular tastes of each locale, these new regimens aim to make dieting more palatable by mixing snob appeal with an occasional glass of Pinot. Here's a look at the "destination diets" and a few other weight-loss books worth sampling...
