A December 20, 2005 article by Megan Scott quotes ACSH's Dr. Ruth Kava on crash dieting:
No more cake, cookies, or egg nog. We're not trying to be cruel. But if you watch what you eat, you have some room to indulge.
But don't starve yourself: Fasting until Christmas dinner is a no-no. Ruth Kava, director of nutrition for the American Council on Science and Health, suggests eating breakfast, lunch and even a snack. ''It's when you're starving that you really tend to go for it and overeat,'' she says.
