    do you recall what magazine this was? It is a common technique with tabloids...

    That's what I was wondering. It looks like one of those "healthy" magazines that consistently has new fad diets that have you losing a huge amount of weight in a week.

    Woman's World, I do believe. Generally it's a good magazine but they have questionable health advice now and then.

    YES! That's the one that I was thinking.

    I don't doubt Dr. Oz can lose 24lbs a week...when you're that full sh** a single bathroom trip can really make a difference.

    I like their cupcake recipes. ):

    But in one issue they had 'boost your thyroid' advice that actually was complete bunk. I was like: WHAT? That's not right!!!!

    Only 24lbs a week? why not 25?

    Because that would be unrealistic!

    To quote my second favorite fictional doctor: "Are you a real doctor, or are you a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"

    If the Doctor gave me his idea for a diet, not gonna lie, i'd do it.

    Pretty sad that a fictional TV doctor is the only one I trust.

    Wow! I can't believe a Dr would put his "seal" of approval on any kind of crash diet! It screams out "let me lead you to an eating disorder"!!! smh

    If someone tries this diet and fails to lose "up to 24 pounds in a week" the magazine and Dr. Oz have opened themselves up to a lawsuit.

    Well that wasn't The Doctor, that was Doctor Cox from Scrubs. That's why I said second favorite! Love my Matty <3

    Nope, because they said "up to" that means you could lose 1 lb and they're safe. They probably also somewhere in the article said "results may vary". They are fully covered because you MAY lose 24, you may lose less, how much less, who knows. 24 lbs is probably the highest loss they had recorded so you may or may not have the maximum.

    I am no Dr. Oz fan, but he didn't. This is a tabloid magazine with questionable ethics. They regularly post pictures of celebrities with claims they never made. I am always stunned by the huge sales of publications like this one.

    Pretty sure this is what he meant by seal of approval.
