special diets

Let's talk diets for a minute, and by diets I don't mean just keepin' it healthy. I'm talking about a specific eating plan that is usually restrictive by nature. We've got the kinds that promise weight loss like the Zone, Weight Watchers, or Atkins; diets that are rooted in lifestyle changes like vegetarianism or going raw; and then there are those that are medically necessary to make sure a health issue stays in check.

For the Give It Up challenge I'm currently on a vegetarian diet, but outside of that I tend to eat whatever I want. Luckily, "eating what I want" usually means sticking to healthy whole foods. How about you?

Are You on a Restrictive Diet?

Yes!

No!

Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of former President Bill Clinton, is getting married this weekend. There's been a lot of hype surrounding the event and yesterday more details about her big day surfaced.

She's planning a green wedding — complete with a vegan menu and gluten-free cake. Chelsea's a vegan and allergic to gluten, so it's no surprise that she's made these decisions. While the majority of the dishes are vegan, Clinton is offering one option for carnivores: grass-fed organic beef.

I love her menu selections: she's staying true to her diet and providing a compromise so that all of her guests will be pleased. I know not everyone would do the same. I've heard of weddings where no alcohol or vegetarian meals were served. Where do you stand on the matter?

Would You Impose Your Dietary Restrictions at Your Wedding?

Yes. It's my wedding and I shouldn't have to cater it to my guests' diets.

No. I want my guests to feel welcome by serving food options for everyone.
