The South Florida Travel Editor Diet?

That’s right. Forget the ultra-trendy South Beach Diet. South Florida Sun-Sentinel Travel Editor Thomas Swick has come up with a diet of his own sure to attract the masses: “The South Florida Travel Editor Diet.” Swick’s key piece of advice: travel. “Abroad, we all walk more than we do at home, and we do it painlessly, not worrying about calories burnt but concentrating on the architecture and the curious signs and the coy window displays,” he wrote in last week’s column. “Not to mention the crowds of people—slim and hardy—who are walking along with us.” How to explain the veteran travel editor’s sudden interest in diets? We have a theory. Swick, whose collection of travel stories, “A Way to See the World,” was recently published by The Lyons Press, no doubt saw “The South Beach Diet” book on the New York Times bestseller list and began brainstorming. Diet books, after all, always outsell travel books in the U.S. Which is why we suspect Swick has a lucrative travel-diet book deal in the works. Brilliant!
