You can do that?
Work-release. I'm doing motivational speaking. "Why you suck and nothing you do will ever change that". The reviews have been pretty depressing but I'm hopeful folks will come around to the message I'm preaching.

In the case of HCG/VLCDs or cutting off a limb, I'm pretty sure most responders are trying to be helpful by offering information on risks and actual efficacy. In the case of low/high carb or other dietary preferences, whatever, different things help different people get through the day.
The scientific support is the same for HCG, VLCDs, as for high carb/low carb, so I fail to see why we would distinguish. I think we all agree on cutting off a limb thing...
That may be true as I don't know nearly as much about these subjects as a lot of other commenters, however I personally have never seen reports of people losing their hair or aquiring hormonal imbalances from doing a low-carb diet. That doesn't mean it doesn't happen, just means I have noticed quite a few reports of those problems with HCG/VLCD (quite a few here on MFP) but haven't noticed it with people doing various food-group eliminations. So I tend to see HCG/VLCD as having possible risks to a person's health that other more 'mainstream' diets do not. Just my personal perspective, I do not claim to be an expert at all.
Define "mainstream." VLCDs are nothing new. I was on a 700 calorie diet plan in college (Late 1970s), that was also low carb. It was a plan I paid a lot of money to be on and was very popular.... For all I know it's why I'm fat now. I BELIEVED I was fat then, but seeing the pictures from back then, I realize I was wrong about that, but I tried al lot of diets back then that I wouldn't advocate now, one right after the other. My metabolism was so f-ed up... HCG was around then too.
My first response was to the argument that it was okay to criticize HCG and VLCDs but that low carb/high carb were "dietary preferences." I'm saying that the scientific evidence for VCLDs and HCG is just as good as for low carb or high carb, NONE of them seem to be particularly healthy and none seem to be good for weight loss either. (Scientific evidence, not anecdotal evidence.) I see no reason that low-carb would not be as unacceptable as a VLCD, or high-carb as unacceptable as HCG, and "mainstream" is what you consider it to be.0 -

unfortunately the world is not filled with only "shiney happy" people.
Mythbusters has proven, if you polish a turd long enough, even it becomes shiny.
I saw that episode. Not every turd, and the reflectivity was very low, even on the best turd they did. Most turds were not polishable. Just sayin'...0 -
If we add some HCG can we put the pretty pills and the rainbow liquid from under the sink in the pie?????0

Are you saying we shouldn't be a-holes to people on the internet? If we can't be a-holes to strangers, who can we be a-holes to???
Did someone say shiny?0 -
instead of a-hole, can you say goal-hole?0
-
or maybe piehole?0

I would, but sadly I am not familiar with my goal-hole. :sad:instead of a-hole, can you say goal-hole?0 -
on this subject, or maybe even more to the point, is how some folks read emotions and attitudes into posts. Like this one girl posted something the other day and I read it, just for what it said, but several posters read "anger" and "bad attitude" and "condescending" and other negative emotions into it.
So I thought, "did I miss something?" and reread it to see, and I still couldn't find all that emotional stuff anywhere.
What is behind this phenomena? Anybody know?
Some like to post comments that appear innocent but otherwise blatantly reference previous disagreements just to goad others into a new argument so that it will appear to most users, that are unfamiliar with the history, that they are being attacked.0 -

Honestly, I would like to kid back but I am completely serious about this. If people want things to be peaceable, then they should consider discontinuing this type of behavior.0 -
I don't think using a term like "PIEHOLE" is a good idea for dieting and health conscious individuals, perhaps something like "WHOLEGRAINHOLE" would be more supportive...
