Dr. Madelyn Fernstrom Releases 'The Real You Diet' Book

I have to give a big shout out to my good buddy Dr. Madelyn Fernstrom. Madelyn is a contributor to iVillage.com and the Today show's diet and nutrition expert. Her new book 'The Real You Diet' is out in stores and online and last night we celebrated its release in New York City.

I'm not one for books -- especially ones about dieting -- but this one is simple and to the point with practical advice on eating and portion control. Check out Madelyn giving some of the tips from 'The Real You Diet' on the Today show.
