Sometimes the best way to lose weight is to pursue a project passionately to the extent that you don't have time to think about food. This is what's happened to Silvio Horta, 32, the creator of the big hit show, "Ugly Betty".

He's got no time to eat. He wolfs down his lunch of takeout sushi in four minutes tops and is back to work. He's lost 10 pounds without trying since he took on the stresses and joys of creating the weekly television program.
