...more than 300 lbs., she was morbidly obese--more than 100 lbs. above her ideal body weight. After trying all sorts of diets that didn't work, the daughter of Beach Boy Brian Wilson and member of the now disbanded pop trio Wilson Phillips turned to a drastic last resort: gastric-bypass surgery. Doctors sewed up most of her stomach, reducing it to a tiny receptacle that holds several tablespoonfuls at best, and isolated much of her small intestine to reduce nutrient absorption.

...turn-of-the-century easy-money culture was fading. (One subject, Josh Sagman, an oxygen-bar peddler--he literally charges people to breathe--is the embodiment of cocky boom-era entrepreneurialism.) Even in midsummer, local author Steven Gaines talks about the place in the past tense. "This was the resort that was closest to the financial center of the world," he says.

...lush banks of the pea green Loboc River, Nuts Huts Resort presides over sweeping views of the surrounding hills. It is run by two charming Belgians, Rita and Chris, who seem to know what weary souls want: great fusion cooking (Rita's lime-laced chicken dish, pollo kalamansi, is a favorite), well-chosen music and the option to do nothing at all in several different locations?a shady terrace, a well-stocked music library or a herb-infused sauna...
