    hopefully Beach Body goes first. Then weight watchers. Then Dr Oz.

    I agree, but WHYYYYYY do so many people watch his show?! I know, that's a rhetorical question. I just can't believe that so many people think he has the "magic" solution to weight loss. Sad.

    They don't just think he has the 'magic' solution for weight loss - they think he has the 'magic' solution for EVERYTHING!

    and there's no magic solution to ANYTHING - so i have no idea how he gets them. Either they are suckers or he is the antichrist.

    Sadly, I don't even think it'd make a difference if they replaced his opening sequence with him admitting before congress that he doesn't feel that any of the products he promotes do anything. Everyone would still watch.

    Anybody hawking raspberry ketones, green coffee stuff, garcinia cambogia (not even sure if that's spelled right), Spanx, WeightWatchers and hundreds of authors of lose-weight-fast-keep-it-off-FOREVER! books...

    Doing things "like a girl" would be a compliment.

    Just curious. Why all the hate on weight watchers? Sure, I think MFP provides more clarity and is easier to use, and I think much of the pre-packaged food they hawk is overpriced, but I wouldn't put it in the same category as the other things mentioned here.

    not because of their products or program, just their marketing tactics.

    There would be many poor CEOs out there. Weight Watchers, Beach Body, Dr. Oz, plastic surgeons, and every other company/doctor that hates when women don't look like perfection would just fall apart.

    That's the truth - ignorance in this case is just ignorance...
