South Beach may be full of paparazzi, but the hottest photos in Miami have been coming straight from the Fresh Diet kitchen. As you may know, we have been hard at work completing a massive photo shoot. All The Fresh Diet entrees have had starring roles, including over 600 main dishes, side dishes and desserts.

Here are a few more behind the scenes photos. Unlike many food shoots, all of these meals are completely edible. (We don’t use any unnatural ingredients to make our food photograph better.) Our food stylist was none other than Fresh Diet Chef Carlo Ricci. As you can see from the pictures below, Chef Ricci is passionate about his work.

Independence Day brings one of the greatest international competitions in the history of competitive sports. (No, I’m not talking about Wimbeldon, or even the World Cup for that matter.) Every 4^th of July since 1916, large crowds have gathered at the corner of Surf and Stillwell in Brooklyn, NY to witness the Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest on Coney Island. After a year of waiting, we finally got to witness those 10 glorious minutes of overeating.

In case you missed the action on ESPN earlier today, Joey Chestnut from San Jose, California won the event for the 4^th time in a row by finishing off 54 hot dogs in the 10 minute span. While it was inspiring to see the champion win the Mustard Belt again for the U.S., this certainly wasn’t his best performance. Perhaps the heat in Brooklyn and the absence of his traditional nemesis Takeru Kobayashi from Japan had something to do with the sudden decrease in appetite. After all, Chestnut set a new world record last year by eating 68 hot dogs (that’s 20, 196 calories, folks). Oh well, fans of competitive eating can only wait until next year to see if the record falls.

The good news is that you can now leave overeating to the professionals. Instead of competing in the amateur division, you can eat fresh, healthy food in just the right portions from The Fresh Diet. And, you can take your Fresh Diet cooler bag with you wherever you need to go. Even on those rare occasions when you don’t have one of our gourmet meals within easy reach, following The Fresh Diet will teach you to make the healthiest choices in all situations.

All of us at The Fresh Diet wish you a safe and happy 4^th of July!
