Sometimes it's just hard to keep it all in. I just don't understand people sometimes...but ya know what. Enough about me. What do you all think? Overview and then link
"The Omni Drops program includes consumption of the drops, Omni IV liquid vitamins, Nite Lite and the recommended menu. The first 2 days of the Omni Drops program consists of eating very high calorie foods that contain high fat and sugar contents. This is called "loading". This is the time to eat every bad food you've always dreamed of eating! The more you gain during these 2 days, the better - this will set your body up for a great "dropping" period. Don't worry though, you will lose it all in the following 48 hours. Eat cakes, cookies, ice cream, fried foods, pizza, cheese, etc. - these are all acceptable foods. You can even drink all the alcohol you want during this time! It is important that you load properly as this is a very critical part of the diet. People that chose not to load properly have found that the rest of the unwanted weight does not drop as easily as those people who took the time to load. You want to eat all day with a constant feeling of being "full". You will also need to drink 3/4 to 1 gallon of water in addition to eating all the food - don't forget this! You will also need to be taking the Omni drops 3 times a day, 10 drops at a time. Do not begin loading if you have not started taking the Omni drops! "

Oh I love it ..thanks for the early morning laugh

Haha sounds too good to be true!0

This is the kind of crazy diet I would have done in the past. Fast weight loss only to gain it right back shortly after. One of the posters in the comments section said she was dizzy, weak, and almost fainted twice, but she lost 14 pounds. Some endorsement.0

Wow - thats a diet just asking for a lawsuit0

haha that is a classic

My coworkers did this and complained how they felt "like crap" and "had headaches all the time" but acted like i was crazy when i suggested calorie counting and fitness pal saying "i don't think that would work. You can't just eat whatever you want. Everybody knows that"
I eat whatever i want and in a short period of time have lost about 30 lbs already. Even after seeing that, they still either do crazy diets or outright starve themselves. I don't understand it. I really don't. They probably assume i'm lying when i say "i just ate jack in the box today and feel great. As long as i stay under my calories, i eat whatever the hell i want".
I feel bad for them because its like a dysfunctional cycle of "lose weight and be miserable-gain weight back shortly after-lose weight and be miserable". How many times are you going to make a mistake before you learn from it?0 -
that's disgusting.....0
-
Well that's a diet I could stick with... too bad it won't work, lol!0
-
I don't see why anyone would laugh at them....honestly for the most part some of us here have been on diets that have failed from time to time and some diets that have been a success... I agree it sounds too good to be true I myself probably wouldn't try it and would offer them advice if they seem to get frustrated but I don't get my rocks off by laughing ..0

Well to be fair, starting a diet like that seems counter-productive for sure, but if it gets the 'piggying out' out of your system, it's not necessarily a bad thing, IMO. I find it easier to stick to a new diet when I've just had a total splurge.0
-
When you lose another 30lbs your co-workers will start listening, I'm sure! (You're doing really well btw!) For now... just make sure they don't hurt themselves!!0

Are the drops a laxative?0
-
Wow, just wow. That's horrible.Use oil-free makeup, moisturizers, lotions and hair products.
Sure, I guess because the oil will seep through your skin and make you fat... AndREMEMBER, YOU ARE ACTUALLY CONSUMING 3,000 CALORIES EACH DAY EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE ONLY EATING A SMALL PORTION OF THAT! The other calories are coming from those released from the consumption of abnormal fat stored in your body which is made available through the direct impact of the Omni drops resulting in rapid, healthy weight loss.
Seriously?

That's a really good question!
It's a bit like the Chinese detox tea my ex-flatmate once got in Chinatown having been assured that it would not have a laxative effect only finding herself stuck in the office toilet every morning for half an hour...
She gave up on the easy fix tea and added it to our medicine shelf instead in case of constipation issues...

It sounds not like a diet. More like a scam...0

Yes, but if you consider the rest of the diet it is a very bad thing because it basically promotes a binging then VLCD cycle. This is honestly one of the most destructive diet plans I've read.0 -
It sounds like what Extreme Weight Loss and The Biggest Loser tell contestants-- Load WAY up on food and water weight before starting so your losses look all the more astonishing.0

Wait... is this for real? That breaks my heart. I believe it but I don't want to!0 -
Marketing strategy on this one is brilliant!
Saw my doc recently and in discussing my loss, she asked what program I followed. Said I'm too cheap buy anyone's program, so went the logical way of paying attention to how much I eat & move more. She said for me to tell everyone because they don't believe her, when she says that is how to lose weight. People don't want simple, put in the effort 'programs'. They want to pay for a magic pill/drink/powder that promises magic.0 -
The diet only works because if you follow the plan you are only consuming 500 calories a day. The drops are supposed to help suppress your appetite (I have not done this but watched people who have). It's extreme and crazy if you ask me.0
-
Sounds like the binging portion of the diet is to ensure that people quickly jack up their weight with water retention. I can be up a few pounds of water weight the morning after eating out -- can't imagine if I took all the limits off and ate til I felt noticeably full constantly for two days! No wonder people then lose so quickly after continuing on with the diet... and it must feel absolutely horrible.0
-
It makes me nauseous just to read that. People are desperate for an answer that gets results but doesn't require long term commitment. In the end they will see what a bad idea this is but in the meantime you can't influence them if they don't want to listen to reason.0
-
Well, I could follow the first two days of that diet. Hell, I do that every Thanksgiving and Christmas.
But the rest? No, no, no. No 500 cals/day unless I have food poisoning. Or am recovering from food poisoning and just can't stand the look or smell of food. Stupid me didn't consider marketing Staph toxins as a diet strategy. I mean, so what if I was so weak I had to sit down every couple of hundred feet or fall over?0 -
Ridiculous diet is ridiculous lol. I cannot tell you how many times people have asked me how I lost the weight and I watched their eyes glaze over when I tell them, "Counting calories and exercise." *shrug*0

Scamalama ding-dong! lol
