CARTOON OF THE DAY: The Flibber Flabber Diet

Apparently, the pop-culture phenomenon of being thin has invaded the cartoon world: Has anyone tried the Flibber-Flabber diet?

Truffles, the wife of a master chief Mung, decides after knocking over a village that she'll put everyone in her household on a diet after gaining weight from eating Mung's food. Not only does she make it a contest to see who will lose the most weight, she also challenges Mung to make healthier food. My favorite character on the Chowder TV series (I know it's a kid's show, but I'm a big one at heart) is Schnitzel. The cartoon makes fun of the oftentimes fad diets we put ourselves on to see how long we can last at eating healthy.

You can't argue with a body this gorgeous. Award-winning actress Salma Hayek gives fans a playful behind-the-scenes look at the way she and her family start each day in her latest ad with the National Milk Mustache “got milk?” campaign.

Salma is next starring in the film Grown Ups 2 (with Adam Sandler) this July. The mother to five-year-old Valentina, she’s also currently producing the animated feature The Prophet. 

As part of the ongoing “got milk?” campaign, Salma’s third ad reveals her secret to fueling active successful days – starting every day with milk’s high-quality protein. The ad copy reads “Protein makes perfect. got milk? Nourish every day.”

Salma knows one of the best ways to be sure her family has energy and valuable nutrients they need to take on the day is by serving milk at breakfast. An 8 oz. glass of milk is packed with nine essential nutrients, including eight grams of high-quality protein. Protein at breakfast can help power you through the morning. Milk is a delicious, easy and affordable way to send your kids out the door with what they need to start the day off right.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: Kristin Cavallari on returning to pre-baby weight

The former reality-TV star and new mom to six-month-old son Camden Cutler visited Von Maur at Yorktown Mall in Lombard to promote the new capsule footwear collection she designed, Kristin Cavallari for Chinese Laundry. A pants-size 25, Kristin shared some of the reason why she's returned to a body weight that some women would kill for.

Her workouts: I started working out when Camden was four weeks old. I have worked out with personal trainers, but I did this all myself, working out four days a week, which included walking 20 minutes uphill on the treadmill and about 30 to 40 minutes of weights. For me, weights makes a huge difference.

Her diet: I’m extremely healthy. I’m as all natural and organic as you can be. If there’s chemicals in the food that I can’t pronounce, I’m not putting them in my mouth."
