    Hang on, my foam roller will make me taller???? Why haven't I been told this before?

    This reminds me of an "Idiots of the Internet" installment I saw last night. It was a tweet that read something like "There's no excuse for a man to be under 6'. Get your fat a** to the gym!"

    The latest detox thing I heard about is some magic potion that removes the "rotting food and toxic sludge" from your gut to flatten your belly.

    I can remove toxic sludge from my gut with a trip through the Taco Bell drive thru after a night at the bar. Oof.

    I remove mine with Magnesium Hydroxide. Especially when IBS gets bad. Lol

    Don't forget the leeches (although they have actual applications and results). I did read a Sears catalog from the 1920s that sold tapeworms as a diet trend. I vote on bringing that one back, I bet I could even get a "Dr." Oz recommendation.

    I'm over arguing about detoxing but if you really think food sits in you and rots on a regular basis...well.

    I just don't know what to say to that.

    Wow, I could use a couple of inches. I need a foam roller now! :blush:

    Yeah, I'm sick of being 5'2. I can't reach anything in my upper cabinets. So annoying. My 7 year old is almost as tall as me >.<

    Sugar Free gummy bears will probably remove anything from your gut. Imagine combining that with Taco Bell. Fun to be had by all.

    I have used a foam roller for a year. I am still 5ft 1. I want my money back.

    Although, maybe I'm doing it wrong? Perhaps I was supposed to bless it with some crystals or something first?

    lol why did OP get flagged?

    I suspect that someone didn't read past the subject heading.

    Or maybe someone's mad that pudding mocked their wawa...

    There's a 50s ad for amphetamines as the miracle mother's helper and it makes all sorts of claims too. Humans always and forever will be gullible to this nonsense.

    I have an Arbonne pusher on my FB who posts all sorts of woo, today if you're on a detox or cleanse you shouldn't eat the banana pudding recipe she posted. Okay then. Right you are.

    The only drink allowed all weekend was cucumber and herb infused water. Why not plain ordinary water, I don't know either.

    According to medieval medical theory, cucumbers reduce fevers and purify the urine. Yeah, it's woowoo, but it's historical woowoo--700 years old and written in Latin. (Beat that, Dr. Oz!) I bet someone could repackage the theory of the humours into a modern diet program and make a mint.

    BRB?

    Ah, thanks. That's the only meaning I know for that acronym, but it didn't seem to fit.

    Sounds like something a child would ask for in his sippy cup. So glad the industry is taking time to explore real science.

    It comes with a wristband. I might get this when my tax refund comes. I mean, you save over $115.00!

    Thanks... now I have to clean my screen.

    Bursting out laughing while drinking tea is generally not recommended for a long life of any computer/electronic appliance in front of you. :p

    The only acceptable Wawa is the kind that serves these

    I love me a wawa hoagie. Shame it's only an east coast thing.

    And other post Christmas nonsense.

    Magazines atm seem to have a common theme of 'it's long enough since Christmas to peddle get rid of Christmas pounds fast! ' propaganda.

    I have one which gives step by step weekend detox advice, including a set menu.
    Day 1 is salmon and mushrooms on gluten free toast.
    Now, nothing wrong with salmons and mushrooms but I doubt many people have them for breakfast and why have gluten free toast if one is not gluten intolerant??
    In which case you wouldn't just have it that weekend.
    Anyway, despite 'withdrawal symptoms' of nausea and headaches, one loses 4kg in 2 days - about 5 1b.

    If this doesn't appeal there is another recomendation for Wawa crystals - they just flush away fat ~ 30 sachets, free drink bottle and book and wristband for only $99.95 ( +$29.95 postage )

    Head bang.

    People aren't even reading anymore before they hit the flag button. Mfp should get rid of it.
