We like Mad Men’s Christina Hendricks and her healthy curves as much as the next guy. Well, okay — maybe not as much as this guy:

"Mad Men's" Christina Hendricks Renders Male News Anchor Speechless

Consider the vegan diet: Vegetables. Fruits. Whole grains. Sounds super healthy. But not eating animal products doesn’t necessarily mean eating nutritiously. The Los Angeles Times profiled a vegan woman (and her fish-eating boyfriend) to see what they could do to up the nutrition value of their mostly processed vegan diet.
They learned to read the labels on foods they buy for actual nutrition facts, rather than just checking to see if they contain animal products. (In meat or dairy substitute products, you might be getting a taste similar to the real thing, but you’re missing all the nutrients.) They also learned to plan meals that mix complex carbs with protein — a deficient nutrient in many vegan diets.
We can think of a few other diets that seem healthy, but aren’t necessarily so good for you. Zone or Atkins, anyone?

Vegan Diet: Not Necessarily Healthy
We’ve been waiting all week for these upcoming two glorious days of fun and laziness — and they’re almost here. We want to get all this stuff done this weekend, but we’ve got to be honest: We might end up trashing all our plans and taking a two-day nap instead.
Save some money.
An easy way to save some dough would be to bring our lunches to work. This weekend we’ll be stocking up on everything we need to brown bag it while still being kind to the environment.
Change our sheets.
Even though we do it as often as we should (we’re not that gross), we may as well do it during our free time this weekend. Maybe we’ll even take this opportunity to buy some organic sheets.
Wear our favorite jeans.
We may not get to wear our worn-out, patched-up jeans to work, but you can bet we’ll be rocking them this weekend.
Take a long bath.
We got some chamomile bath salts that we’re eager to try out. And afterward we’re going to go chamomile crazy and make these popsicles for good measure.
Go to a yoga class.
We want to make good on our promise to get back into yoga. And we just bought new yoga pants.
Eat bread.
We think those of you who don’t eat bread are really missing out. Have you tried it? We’re going to eat it this weekend in a Panzanella salad.
Catch up on emails.
We have at least a dozen emails we need to write, so we might as well get that done. It also gives us a chance to try ToneCheck.
Get some sleep.
Like we said at the top — we’re tired. And we might even grab a cool sleep mask to make sure those pesky daylight hours don’t keep us from snoozing as much as we want.
Pull money out of our bra.
We’re not weird. We’ve just never done it before and the Racktrap™ got us wondering! Don’t worry, though— we’ll probably do it alone in front of the mirror. So no need to be embarrassed for us.
Wear sunscreen.
Staring at this scary photo of Hulk Hogan was enough to convince us that we don’t need to invite any more sun damage into our lives.

10 Things We Want to Do This Weekend

People! Drop what you’re doing. Demi Moore. Is. Doing. Another. Cleanse. Apparently she only lasted four days on the Master Cleanse (she’s only human, after all), but she’s on day 13 of the Clean Program. On this three-week cleanse, you have one solid, organic meal a day and two meal-replacement shakes.
Demi has Tweeted about her cleanse, and one sassy fan questioned the health benefits of having just one solid meal a day, comparing that program to Slim-Fast. Demi told her she didn’t know what she was talking about. So, there, Twitter follower. One solid meal every 24 hours (and Ashton) is all Demi needs.
Why do you think Demi is so into all these cleanses? How into them are you?
