This episode of Health Buzz kicks off with Rachel Berman, CalorieCount.com's Director of Nutrition. She explains the DASH diet, which was recently named the best diet by U.S. News and World Report.

This article from Fitness Magazine takes an in-depth look at what it means to improve your metabolism.

Fashion expert and former Barney's employee Jake Kelsey joins Health Buzz to share his thoughts on Simon Doonan's newest book, Gay Men Don't Get Fat. Doonan is known for his work as a window dresser at Barney's and is the author of several books. You may not find the most scientific nutrition advice behind this pink cover, but you will find plenty to laugh about. Yes, there are lots of stereotypes in Gay Men Don't Get Fat, but to take any of them too seriously is to miss the point of the book.

She says to make sure the plateau isn't due to "calorie creep" and offers other advice to get you moving towards to your goal weight again.
