.. in being on MFP if you're on a specific diet such as the cambridge diet? :S

I was horrified when I went onto a 'friends' food log to see Breakfast: Milkshake, Lunch: Milkshake, Dinner: Milkshake. She was at least 600 calories under her goal. What's the point in calculating how many calories you should eat in order lose weight the healthy way if all you're gonna consume is fricking milkshakes? and what's the point in even logging your milkshake when you know exactly how much of whatever is in your milkshake?

Milkshake! what the f-ing f?

    You can't be on the Cambridge diet forever though.. what happens when she stops with the shakes? She will put the weight back on, surely? :S

    Probably to keep a log of what they do for how long. Not a fan of shake diets, personally, but it's their journey. They'll either succeed or they won't.

    I agree .... logging food is "supposed" to teach you something ... milkshakes teach you nothing. Maybe this is just a "phase" of sorts to kick start a diet ... who knows?

    LOL -- my coworker (also my MFP buddy) and I, laugh every day when the other gals make their "shakes" in the morning. . . then go for a walk on their morning break, and out to mcdonalds or chinese at least 3 days a week. Sad, frustrating, but none of my business none-the-less. Maybe it is their fiber shake to keep them regular. Don't know, don't care. But it gives us something to laugh at.

    Because youre mindset for what a DIET really is, is WRONG. It's not a temporary thing you do. A Diet, by definition, is the regular intake of nutrition...

    Change your mind, realize, visualize, choose, act, succeed.

    I prefer the twinkie diet.

    Or the magic pill.

    Sometimes both.

    She's probably just testing to see if all the boys will come to her yard or not.

    I can't seem to get back on track of eating healthy again, maybe I should do some shakes just to get over the food issues.Then start out fresh.

    Your necklace reminds me of lemon heads... maybe we should start a Lemon Heads diet, and log only Lemon Heads?

    She could teach you, but she'd have to charge.
