    Opinionated, loud fat people who are experts on losing weight and giving advice....:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Un-PC as it is, I totally agree. Sorry if it causes offence, but I won't be taking diet advice from someone bigger than me. I will follow the advice of people who have practiced what they preach and proved it to work.

    Those stupid body wraps. My cousin sells them (well, tries to sell them), and I get so embarrassed for her.


    haha this! I have a friend on fb who posts all the time trying to sell them and posts when she uses them. The funny thing is the next day you will see posts about how she hates being 45 lbs overweight and how she goes to mcdonalds at 2 in the morning.

    Both someone on my facebook and someone in my neighborhood are raving about some plexus slim thing. Neighbor has huge decal taking up the back of her car where you can buy it from her and facebook friend makes several posts a day about how it can change your life and you can lose tons of weight, cure diabeties, and all kinds of ailments by not changing what you eat nor working out

    Ugh. That is where I'd set it to not subscribe to that person's news feed. :/

    I've heard the hcg, the body wraps, the acai, the cabbage soup......blah. I think for most people it's just exercise and "diet"-what you eat. I will say I'm *trying* a lower carb thing right now. I'm very cranky though and if it doesn't work really welll.....welllll, I think I'll go have me some spaghetti and chocolate cake with a side of bread. :/ (the only reason I'm trying it is desperation b/c I have an insulin resistance issue....believe me, otherwise I'd put it at the top of the list as crapola)

    I'm thinking there might have been something more than the diet involved to get that result...

    That was what my gym trainer told me. Granted Im averaging about 800 calories a day, and really have to work to get that.

    I'm not going to believe that any of the fad "diets" work until I see a person keep the weight off for five years and convert to eating real food. I've always thought that the faster you lose weight, the faster you gain it back.

    God, if I hear another Paleo/Atkins/HFLC zealot rave about how you can eat 5,000 + calories of animal protein and dark leafy greens and NEVER gain weight, I'll eat my hat.

    I'm not wearing a hat. :laugh:

    Not even CLOSE to what paleo is. Paleo is high quality meats and in-season fruits and veggies. Its fresh, unprocessed, whole foods....and people don't eat 5,000 calories a day. My wtf is people bashing diets without actually knowimg what is involved :indifferent: :indifferent:


    I also don't understand juice diets. I'm sure you can lose weight on it as you clean your bowels out and lose muscle
