Weekend detoxes, wawa crystals...
Replies

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.0 -

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 = be right back.
( in this case with the the medieval humours new crash diet)0 -

Ah, thanks. That's the only meaning I know for that acronym, but it didn't seem to fit.0 -

My OP has been flagged x2 now, so clarifying in case someone flags this as advertising spam too.

Sounds like something a child would ask for in his sippy cup. So glad the industry is taking time to explore real science.0 -
It comes with a wristband. I might get this when my tax refund comes. I mean, you save over $115.00!0

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.

The only acceptable Wawa is the kind that serves these
I love me a wawa hoagie. Shame it's only an east coast thing.0 -

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.0 -

Hmmm 8 pounds in 7 days or 5 pounds per day for 5 days. I think I'll take his first miracle over his second miracle.0 -

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'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!
Wait, can I choose where to add them?0 -
Mixed messages. I mean, look how pretty the cupcakes are, and how non-threatening. And the chocolate, well, it's better than Prozac, so eat up! (Although, I agree with that--I'll take chocolate any day over any medication.)
So brighten up your day and eat those pretty cupcakes, shovel down that delicious chocolate and then if you listen to Dr. Oz, you have nothing to worry about, right?
And then you fail. And don't know why.

I thought (from reading the title) that someone, somewhere, was wanting women to stick crystals in their "Wawa" to lose weight.... After reading the actual post I'm very pleased to see that, that is not the case.0

In for hoo-hah crystals!0 -
Those would be Ben Wa, not WaWa. 0

WaWa had me at gold stars. I mean come on people, GOLD STARS, that is worth the $115 you are saving right there. Now if only they would throw in a magnet so I can put it on my refrigerator and show everyone how proud of myself I am.0

Now I really want some salmon and mushrooms. I'm going to the store today and might grab some portabella caps to make a triple mushroom and cheese with a ton of mustard salmon burger.
...Or I might run down to my local WaWa. If I get donuts from there, would they magically be healthier than Dunkin Donuts, because they're from WaWa (is crystalized sugar from WaWa the same as WaWa crystals)? 0 -

Anytime I hear that or someone on here trying to lose weight in an unhealthy way I always think of 30 Rock and Dr. Spaceman. When one of the characters gains some weight and is trying to figure out how to lose it.
This thread calls for some more Dr. Spaceman, the fictional Dr. Oz.

I was trying not to go there; I guess it was inevitable though.
