    I was at a health fair and this man was selling packages of raw foods, it all looked like soft granola in different flavors, all very yummy. He said you eat 1/4 cup of it at meal and snack times along with lots of water. I was on board untill my hubby asked me how long did I think I would be able to handle eating an entire meal in 5 minutes! Oh well.

    I would have to say the HCG... like 500 calories a day, of course you will lose weight.

    No Carbs (not low carb) I don't understand why people cut carbs to lose weight when to a certain point, your body needs them and what happens when you start eating them again? Moderation is key people!!

    Oh, and one-type-of-food diets (cabbage soup, grapefruit).. those are just ridiculous.

    people, it just takes will power! don't kill yourselves! i swear

    Claritin does not work. I take it every day for allergies and get pretty hungry!
