O, the Oprah Magazine, has a remarkable article today about a unique group of women working together to lose weight.  The 14 women, Israelis and Palestinians, meet in Jerusalem through Slim Peace Groups to help each other change their lives.  In the process, they’ve learned a lot about each other’s personality and culture.

The first Slim Peace group was the subject of a critically acclaimed documentary by Yael Luttwak and has since grown into an ongoing project.  Participants meet for 10 weeks and learn how to plan a nutritious menu and the benefits of healthy eating.  And, of course, they also get to learn about each other.
