September's To-DON'T List!

Doesn't it get so overwhelming trying to keep up with all the new stuff you’re supposed to do to live healthy? Here’s what you really don’t need to bother with!

Never, ever missing a workout. Kim Kardashian landed back in Los Angeles from a trip to Australia and stopped at the gym for a sweat session on way home from the airport. Why not just drop your bags—and then drop into bed?

Doing an extreme mega cleanse. Naomi Campbell told Oprah recently that she did one for a full 18 days. There was only one time in our lives when we subsisted on liquids that long, and it was when “itsy bitsy spider” was our favorite song.

The newest trendy hair color: lavender-gray. Kelly Osbourne and Lady Gaga may be able to get away with this one, but we’d just look like Norma Bates “mother.”

Worrying about going organic for everything from your hair gel to your shoes. Natural should make you feel good, not stressed.

EAT, PRAY, LOVE – Themed Jewelry, Tea, Perfume, and Furniture. Enough Already!

Genetic testing for your thighs. The new CelluliteDX Genetic Test helps doctors predict whether you’ll develop cellulite. No need to spend $249 to know what cellulite will eventually plague most of us—even supermodels.

Ultra-punishing exercise routines. The latest: Convict Conditioning, designed to replicate hard-core prison workouts. The program’s creator, a former San Quentin State Prison inmate, says its “primitive” and “Brutal.” Isn’t Spinning class brutal enough?

Doing a total plastic purge. A Chicago woman has decided to lead a plastic-free life, buying food from bulk bins and even making her own bread, yogurt, and toothpaste. We are all for getting the BPA out of our cabinets—but you have to draw the line at mixing our own toothpaste.
