At That's Fit, they're always up on the latest dieting and health news, so it's no surprise that they were the first ones to mention that an ex-contestant from Donald Trump's The Apprentice is promoting a new all-bagel diet. Brent Buckman (not to be confused with Bren, from season 3) from season 5 says that he lost 110-lbs on his diet, which involved eating 4 bagels a day, each toasted and spread with low fat margarine, and a few slices of deli meat at dinner. Once a month, you are allowed to have a "cheat" day and eat non-bagel foods. Exercise is recommended, but optional

If you restrict your calorie intake, you can eat virtually anything you want and still lose weight. It might not be a healthy diet, but it will probably be a diet that works.

Brent is an attorney in Florida and you would think that he would, at some point, have been informed of the value of eating fruits and vegetables in addition to bagels. The daily calorie count on this diet is in the 1200-1800 range, but if you want to lose weight, there are far more interesting foods that you can eat than bagels alone.
