Health.com: 25 diet-busting foods you should never eat

Asian Grilled Salmon on Brown Rice (P.F. Chang's China Bistro)
This salmon-and-asparagus entrée won top honors because it's "a simple, wholesome dish with real foods," panelist David Katz, MD, says. Brown rice is a great source of fiber and salmon's omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to improve memory. Omega-3s also help reduce inflammation in the body and may help lower your risk of heart disease, cancer, and arthritis. Since one order contains enough for two servings, split it with a friend—you'll save money and calories.

Moroccan Chicken Salad (California Pizza Kitchen)
Dressed with a champagne vinaigrette, this salad contains loads of flavorful veggies (avocado, beets, red bell peppers, roasted butternut squash, romaine lettuce) and even fruit (dates and dried cranberries). "You're eating the rainbow here," says dietitian and judge Ellie Krieger, RD. "You'll get a wide array of antioxidants like beta carotene from the squash and anthocyanins from the beets." And 7 grams of fiber make this a super-satisfying dish. The salad may be high in total fat, but a fair amount of it comes from the avocado, which is chock-full of healthy, monounsaturated fats.
Serving size: 1 (1/2-portion) salad

This veggie pizza boasts a full roster of good-for-you ingredients and a crust made mainly with whole-wheat stone-ground flour.

But stick to just two or three slices, then take the rest home or share it with a friend.

Mayan Chicken Harvest Rice Bowl with Brown Rice (Au Bon Pain)
Slow-cooked chicken with spices served over brown rice and topped with a field-green salad? Not your typical mall fare. Our panel thought this was a creative mix of lean protein, veggies, and whole grains. "It's a very complete meal," Dr. Katz says. It has a bit more calories than some of our other picks, so make it your main meal of the day. One thing the panelists didn't care for: the addition of partially hydrogenated oil. However, the amount is small enough that the company can still claim the dish has zero grams of trans fat.

9 Limited-Edition Foods with Cult Followings

モンクレール
Did you hear? For the first time in nearly 16 years, the McRib is available at every McDonald’s in the U.S.! Until recently, the BBQ pork sandwich was only available for limited periods at select locations, inspiring websites for fans to track the beloved menu item down. But the McRib is not alone in its cult status. Below are 10 limited-edition foods that elicit cravings in legions of fans. Whether they're released only once a year like Girl Scout cookies, or celebrate a specific season like Starbucks' Pumpkin Spice Latte, get the facts on some of your favorite foods that are available for a limited time only.Christian Louboutin shoes
Christian Louboutin pumps





McDonald’s McRib

The last time the McRib was offered at every McDonald's across the country was in 1995. But from November 2 through early December 2010, this sweet and savory barbecue sandwich is available at all 14,000 U.S. locations. Over the last three years alone, the boneless meat sandwich on a sesame seed bun has hit sales numbers in the $60 million range—and that's just when it was in limited availability. It even has multiple Facebook fan pages and a McRib Locator, so we can only imagine the damage fans will do now that they can get it at any Micky D's. Photo: courtesy of McDonald's


McDonald’s Shamrock Shake

Since 1970, McDonald’s has been offering this green milkshake made from vanilla ice cream and mint flavoring at select locations throughout March to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Since it’s not available every year at all locations, fans have found a way to get to it if it doesn’t come to them. Enter ShamrockShake.com, which features a search tool for finding a nearby McDonald’s serving the shake. Photo: courtesy of McDonald's


Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Latte

Since 2003, from October through sometime after Christmas (or whenever Starbucks runs out of syrup), the coffee conglomerate sells its famous Pumpkin Spice Latte. Served with a dollop of whipped cream, the drink is so beloved that fans have taken to writing poetry about it. To read, visit the blog Share Your Love for Pumpkin Spice Latte with a Haiku. Our favorite? I love pumpkin spice | Do not even need a cup | Connect the I.V. Photo: courtesy of Starbucks


Cosi Turkey & Stuffing Sandwich with Cranberry Sauce

Everyone knows the best thing about Thanksgiving dinner is the leftovers, especially if they can be worked into a sandwich—thus the appeal of Cosi’s Turkey & Stuffing Sandwich with Cranberry Sauce. Served during the weeks leading up to and just following Thanksgiving, the sandwich is made from roasted turkey, cranberry sauce and Cosi’s signature bread stuffing. Photo: courtesy of Cosi

Nabisco Mallomars

The marshmallow cookie—first sold in Hoboken, New Jersey 97 years ago—is nearly impossible to find during warm months. Back in the day, markets didn’t have the storing or transporting capabilities to keep the chocolate coating from melting when it got hot. So now, even though refrigerated trucks exist, Nabisco continues to sell them only from September to April to maintain the tradition. In that short time, though, enough packages are sold to measure 480 miles—that's all the way from New York City to Detroit. Photo: courtesy of Kraft Foods Inc.


Necco Sweethearts Conversation Hearts

Every year since 1902, Necco's entire stock of Sweethearts Conversation Hearts, which is more than 8 billion candy hearts nowadays, are manufactured over the course of the year—and completely sold out during the six weeks leading up to Valentine’s Day. The appeal is, of course, less in the overly sweet candy than the heart-thumping sentiments written onto each, which people have used to do everything from propose marriage to teach children statistics and reading.

Girl Scout Cookies

The flavors of Girl Scout cookies (Thin Mints, anyone?) are probably more well-known than the organization’s goal: to help girls build character and skills for success in the real world. But the $700 million in annual business the cookies earn for the Girl Scouts of America is all that really matters. Sold only January through April, the combination of their scarcity and great taste makes these cookies some of the most lusted-after treats on this list. Photo: courtesy of Girl Scouts


Dreyer’s Limited Edition Egg Nog Ice Cream

As if it’s not torture enough that eggnog lovers have to wait until the holidays to pick up a carton of their favorite creamy beverage, they also have to wait for its even creamier (if that’s possible) frozen reincarnation: Dreyer's eggnog-flavored ice cream, sold through November and December since the 1950s. But it's clearly worth the wait, considering the 10 million scoops Dreyer's sells during that short period each year. Photo: courtesy of Edy'sChristian Louboutin shoes

White Castle Sweet Potato Fries

Sweet potato fries, offered seasonally at select White Castles, are all the rage, especially this year with their free saver size coupon, valid through November 30, 2010. Formerly considered almost a gourmet treat exclusive to trendy restaurants, White Castle's version has made them a widespread sensation. Or perhaps it’s the tasty cinnamon dipping sauce that they’re served with that makes fans go crazy. Photo: courtesy of White Castle

Not only could they provide

some steamy “Did you know…?” small talk, Christian Louboutin shoesbut they’ll help you see all the benefits a satisfying

circulation, prevents tooth decay, and can even relieve headaches.

5. The average person Christian Louboutin wedgesspends 336 hours of his or her life kissing.

6. Ever wonder how an “X” came to represent a kiss? Starting in the Middle Ages, people who could not

read used an X as a signature. They would kiss this mark as a sign of sincerity. Eventually, the X came

to represent the kiss itself.Christian Louboutin wedges

jumping, and running.

8. The average woman kisses 29 men before she gets married.

9. Men who kiss their partners before leaving Christian Louboutin sandalsfor work average higher incomes than those who don’t.

Herve Leger Dresses Hollywood's 10 Most Overpaid Actors 2010

In fact, the only woman on our list with a true film career is No. 6, Sandra Bullock. With two hit

movies ("The Proposal" and "The Blind Side") and an Oscar win this year, Herve Leger Dresses on saleBullock raked in $56 million

thanks to her on-screen work, as well as her off-screen role as a producer.

To determine how much the women on our list earned we talked to agents, managers, producers, and

lawyers. Though some of these leading ladies come from the worlds of film, television, and talk shows,

musicians dominate our ranking. Global appeal is what sets apart women like Lady Gaga (No. 4), Madonna

(No. 5), and Taylor Swift (No. 9). Unlike stars Herve Leger Skirts on saleof stateside TV shows, the popularity of which rarely

extends far beyond U.S. borders, these musicians are making the bulk of their income touring around the

world.

Consider Beyonce, who pulled down an estimated $87 million in the last year. Though her collection of

endorsement deals, fashion line, Herve Leger and debut fragrance helped pad her pocketbook, it was her 32-country,

six-continent "I Am..." tour that took her around the globe and earned her many millions along the way.

Lady Gaga, too, has a global tour to thank for much of her $62 million income this past year. The

songstress, who premiered on this year's Celebrity 100 and ranks No. 4 on this list, remained on the

road with a 106-date tour that grossed $95 million.Herve Leger Skirts on sale Like her top-earning peers, she also booked a slew

of marketing and endorsement deals, with companies like Polaroid, Virgin Mobile, and MAC's Viva Glam,

and cashed in on album sales and music video tie-ins. She's often recognized for maintaining and

feeding that international fan base through social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, where she

touts more fans than any other star.

And then there's Madonna, who rounds out the top five with an estimated $58 million. At 52 she is not

yet ready to concede her spot in pop music's hierarchy to the genre's younger set. In addition to

publishing royalties and a handful of fashion-related endorsement deals, the original "Material Girl"

generated the fourth-highest-grossing tour Herve Leger of 2009, bringing in $6 million a night and $138 million

overall. Up next, she's launching a series of gyms, appropriately dubbed Hard Candy after her 2008

album, around the world.

Christian Louboutin Entertainment's Highest-Earning Women

Britney Spears was once banished from Christian Louboutin shoesHollywood's ranks. A train wreck more apt to get attention for a

head shaving than a chart-topping song, the 20-something songstress was written off as a textbook

flame-out.

But by all accounts, the pipes behind "...Baby One More Time" is back. Proof: she raked in an estimated

$64 million for the year ending in June, making her the third-highest-paid woman in Hollywood. For

Spears, the 12 months included the Christian Louboutin pumpsfifth-highest-grossing tour of the year, which grossed more than

$130 million, according to concert trade publication Pollstar. She took in still more from tour

merchandise, a greatest hits album, a collection of Elizabeth Arden fragrances, and a lucrative

endorsement deal with Candie's. For those keeping track, that puts her above Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift,

and one-time top earner Celine Dion. Spears only ranked number 7 last year, with estimated earnings of

$35 million.

Gallery: Entertainment's 10 Highest-Earning WomenChristian Louboutin shoes

It's an impressive haul, until you compare her paycheck to those of her male counterparts. Fair or not,

the entertainment industry's highest-earning men collectively raked in an estimated $1.2 billion

between June 1, 2009, and June 1, 2010, compared to the $835 million the women pulled down during the

same period. In fact, after Oprah Winfrey, Christian Louboutin bootswho at $315 million out-earned everyone -- male or female --

Hollywood's second-best-paid woman, Beyonce Knowles, would place ninth on the men's list. And the

remaining top-earning females wouldn't have placed at all.

Blame the industry's lack of high-ranking female film directors, a category that dominated the men's

list. Having built billion-dollar empires on the backs of massive franchises like "Star Wars,"

"Transformers" and "Avatar," top-earners Christian Louboutin bootslike George Lucas, Michael Bay, and James Cameron respectively

banked $95 million, $120 million, and $210 million.

But the profession, particularly at the upper echelon, tends to be light on women, which explains the

hoopla surrounding the Oscar win by Kathryn Bigelow (who was once married to Cameron) earlier this

year. Too bad critical acclaim didn't translate to commercial success -- her flick "The Hurt Locker"

made peanuts compared with "Avatar's" $2.8 billion haul. Needless to say, she didn't make the cut for

our rundown of top-earning women.Herve Leger Dresses on sale

Christian Louboutin Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie is an international superstar who kicks butt as the (rare) strong female characters she


plays in the movies and speaksHerve Leger Gallus articulately about fighting for the rights of others.


But she still gets gushy talking about her sweetheart and one of the hottest stars alive, Brad Pitt. "I


think he's an extremely sexy -- extremely handsome and the most sexy ... When I think about him, I just


think of the man who's such a great friend and such an extraordinary father," Angelina reveals in


Vogue's December issue. "And that's when I fall, you know, when I have my moments of getting -- whoarr!


-- caught up in how much I love him ... it's usually when I see him with the children."


The couple known as Brangelina has quite the brood including Maddox, 9; Pax, 6; Zahara, 5; Shiloh, 4;


and twins Vivienne and Knox, 2. Still, their 35-year-old mother admits she's not terribly domestic.


"I'm not the best cook. Pax is a better Herve Leger Loop Around Neckcook than me. Pax


likes to cook. But I try to when I can," she tells the mag. "Any house that we're in, we all chip in.


But the kids are very sweet ... so enthusiastic anytime I cook. Especially Maddox; he's just this


little man that's very supportive of me -- it's like he's raised me a bit."


Angelina also offers up a cool reason for all that work she does as an ambassador for the United


Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and on Christian Louboutin pumpsher own. "My children are from the


countries that I work in," the Oscar winner notes. "I don't see my family as a global family. I don't


see it separate. So when I look at my kids, and I wake up and hear something's happening in Pakistan, I


think: It's Asians, and my children are from that part of the world. Those kids are very much like my


kids. So I'm happy to be able to go."


Anne Hathaway's Gorgeous Photo Shoot


Whether she's slaving at the stove or Herve Leger Loop Around Neckwaltzing down the red


carpet, Angelina is frequently wearing a certain color. And it sounds like it's more of a happy


accident than a style choice that she usually looks fab. "As Brad'll tell you -- and my kids --


apparently Mommy only wears black," she admits. "I like to get up so every pair of pants goes with


every top, every dress goes with every shoe. I've a very tiny closet. Brad's always laughing at me.


Some days, yes, I have the nightgown that looks like a dress that I can sleep in and pick the kids up


at school. And maybe take a meeting if I switch into heels."


Halle Berry Opens Up to VogueChristian Louboutin pumps


Jolie's magazine portrait. Courtesy Mario Testino/Vogue


So, no, the leading lady from the upcoming movie "The Tourist" is not one to buy into traditional


gender roles -- off-screen or on. Angelina snatched up her most recent blockbuster, "Salt," after Tom


Cruise, the action star for whom it was intended, Herve Leger Whitedropped out. "I felt it was a weird thing


that every time you ask for a strong female role, it's written in this strange way where it uses


sexuality far too much," she explains. "Or it's all about being a woman and beating a man. So it wasn't


a surprise to me that the only way to do a strong female role properly was to not have originally


written for a woman."

A “Secret” Subway Stop

Hidden deep under New York City, a "secret" subway stop is drawing visitors. Christian Louboutin pumpsThe Big Apple's City Hall station, a beautiful structure that opened in 1904, but has been out of use for decades, can be seen by riders ... if they know how to make the journey. Check out these photos below, courtesy of John-Paul Palescandolo.

Click image to see New York's City Hall subway station.






Jalopnik writes that if you want to check out this long-forgotten station, one of the "most gorgeous gems in the world of mass transit," you'll have to take the 6 train and then stay on board. Jalopnik elaborates, "The 6 train used Christian Louboutinto make all passengers leave the train at the Brooklyn Bridge stop, but no longer. If you have a little extra time, you can stay on the train and view the City Hall station as the train makes its turnaround."

So why was the station closed so many years ago? Motobullet explains that the station's curved tracks played a part in its closure. When subway cars moved their doors to the center, it "created an dangerous gap between the exit point on the train and the platform." There were plans to make the stop into a transit museum, but security concerns, especially following the events of 9/11/01, put the plan in limbo.Christian Louboutin

Now, though, folks who take a little extra time amid New York's hustle and bustle can spy the station with their own eyes.

Herve Leger Want To Own A Maserati? Work With Adam Sandler

Working with Adam Sandler has benefits: If you star in one of his movies, and it makes a ton of money, you might just find a Maserati in your driveway.

That's what happened to Chris Rock after starring alongside Sandler in the comedy "Grown Ups."

"I went outside the other day and I had a new Maserati in the driveway," Rock told Howard Stern on his Sirius radio show, joking: "Now I think that I'mAdam Sandler's b---h."Herve Leger Black

Sandler not only presented Rock with the $200,000 super-luxe Italian car, he ordered three more for "Grown Ups" co-stars David Spade, Rob Schneider and Kevin James. In total, that's $800,000 worth of wheels.

Very grown-up of Sandler, not to mention epic on an Oprah level of generosity. (Suddenly, aspiring actors across America are trading "I really want to work with Scorcese" to "I really want to work with Sandler.")

"The movie's like the biggest thing for (Sandler)," Rock said of "Grown Ups," out today on DVD and Blu-ray. "He appreciates the help."

[Photos: See shots of Adam Sandler in the recent film 'Grown Ups']

Sandler certainly has money to spare: He currently sits at No. 9 on Forbes' list of the most overpaid actors of 2010. That said,Herve Leger Black "Grown Ups" cost a reported $80 million to shoot and more than profited at the box office with $270 million in ticket sales.

[Hollywood's most overpaid movie stars]

Sandler's publicist declined comment on the make of the gifted Maseratis. But it's safe to say Rock and the gang aren't returning their cars anytime soon. Or ever.

Celebrities giving cars toHerve Leger Colorful other celebrities is nothing new. Recall several months ago, when Justin Bieber received a $210,000 Lamborghini from Sean "Diddy" Combs for his 16th birthday.

[Justin Bieber Drives Diddy's $200,000 Lamborghini]

(Though it's still not clear if that was just a loaner.) Bieber's mentor Usher has also reportedly bestowed a Range Rover upon his young protege.

What did Bieber end up taking for a frozen yogurt run? The "Lambo."

Herve Leger Dresses 6 Careers You Can Do From Home

Working from home can be a great career option for people with all skillsets and lifestyles. You can set your own hours Herve Leger Dresses on saleand even work in your pajamas - a pretty appealing alternative to the old nine-to-five in a cubicle. Here are six careers you can do from home, and how you can get started.

1. Personal Chef

If cooking is your passion, becoming a personal chef may just be the job for you. This job can mean that you cook a week's worth of meals in a client's home, for instance, or you can look at delivering gourmet meals - the alternative to the old pizza delivery. With today's high-pressure jobs and families where both parents work full time, this type of service is becoming more desirable, particularly in urban areas. Be sure to understand local regulations regarding the kitchen you prepare Herve Leger Skirts on salethe food in; many states require you to have a kitchen separate from your home, and may inspect for health code adhesion.

2. Birthday Party Planning

If you talk to any parent, they'll tell you: planning a birthday party is hard work, and a challenge when you're busy. Where there's a need, there's a job, and birthday party planning can be a great career if you're creative, like kids and can work weekends when parties are often held. You can also plan retirement parties, promotions - any event you think you can handle. For the best changes at earning a good income, make sure you research local rates and competition and understand your liability, particularly if you'll be working with little ones.

3. Home Staging

It's a tough real estate market out there. To sell your house in this buyer's market, it needs to look its best, and home staging Herve Leger Blackcan make all the difference. If you have an eye for design, home staging may just be the career for you; there are no education requirements, and although there are many courses and professional organizations for home stagers, they're not required to be successful in the field. Take some time to research rates in your area and practice staging your home or a friend's. Think about what services you'll want to offer, and the startup costs you'll incur. Networking with realtors can be very helpful in generating business.

4. Web Design

Are you computer savvy, and do you have an eye for detail? A career in web design may be for you. Even if you don't have the skills, consider going back to school to learn; there are many online courses, and current education tax benefits can make the bottom-line expense very low. Before you hunt for jobs, think whether you'll be starting your own business or work as a freelancer - the two are very different tax and legal-wise. Check with the IRS on tax obligations, and with your local small business chapter.

5. Virtual Assistant

With today's uncertain economy, more businesses are looking to hire temporary or per-project help, sometimes in the form of a virtual assistant. A virtual assistant can handle anything from receptionist duties to bookkeeping, depending on your expertise and the client's needs. For work in this field, look to online job boards. Tell your friends and family you're looking for administrative-type work to do from home, and check with any old business contacts you may have. Virtual assistants are still a fairly new concept, so expect to have to explain what you do a few times before generating business.

6. Tutoring Service
