MONTEREY, Calif.- Big, fat liars.

That's what the Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula is calling many of the diet plans, and it wants to separate fact from fiction.

Many of you made New Year resolutions to lose weight and CHOMP said don't be fooled by the "drop 20 pounds in 10 days with the cabbage diet," Or the, "grapefruit diet," Or the, "all-meat diet."

Michelle Barth, registered dietitian at Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula, and Dr. Mark Vierra, general surgeon, will talk about what really works when it comes to successful weight loss on Thursday, January 24. The event is from 5:30-6:30 p.m. at the Peninsula Wellness Center conference room, 2920 2nd Avenue, Marina (Highway 1 at Imjin Parkway). Registration is required by calling (888) 452-4667.
