    I have a friend who lost about 60 pounds on Atkins. Has kept it off for almost a year. She is smaller but is a flabby mess. No exercise. Only diet. She is trying to get me to do it. No thanx. I'll exercise, lift and watch my diet. Not sure what eating carbs again will do to her. I guess time will tell.

    I had a doc who suggested I do the Scarsdale diet.

    I found a new doctor.

    Nearly every bottle of "diet" pills has a little asterisk after it's huge text LOSE UNWANTED BELLY FAT *under healthy diet and exercise*.....If you do that...that completely eliminates the need for these bogus, gimmicky BS pills.

    The only pills I take are multivitmains and fish oil.

    I have a friend who told me I could 'eat' whatever I wanted...the trick was to chew the food into a pulp and then spit it out. It's supposed to trick your body into thinking it's had a meal. :laugh: Can you imagine yourself fine dining somewhere: 'Excuse me, waiter, could I please have something to spit my chewed up food into?' Pretty gross!

    Yeah some one mentioned Herbal Life. I tried that and was even a distributor long long ago. Someone also suggested the cabbage diet. LOL I lasted a day and got smart. I could not believe people did that. Most gained it all back and then some. There is no quick fix remedy to weight loss and there are no DIETS!

    I thank God I realized that and got on the right path to healthy eating. It is not a walk in the park but well worth it when you see the results.

    Was I the only one who spent $50ish dollars a month on Metabolife about 14/15 years ago? I was a chubby 16 year old and thought the kiosk at the mall had the answer. :noway: Oh the stupidity, it burnssss.

    I'd much rather find the magic pill that'll help me lose 20 pounds of fat a week (for a week or 2), than do all the hard work for most of the year. And honestly I don't believe most people who say they do not want a miracle cure. I wouldn't bother about maintaining much either. It it just takes 1 day a month stay at my target weight while eating what I want, I'd take it. I'd still go train because that's helping me run and lift, but I'd happily do without all the calorie counting and skipping of ice cream.

    Unfortunately miracles do not exist. I'm not surprised if you lose 5 lbs if you only drink water for 3 days, you've just cleaned out your intestines, good luck with your next meal, that'll show on the scale immediately. But if and when there's that miracle, I'm definitely in for it.

    At first when I started I was so tempted by shakes and what not. But I couldnt use them because I am breastfeeding my LO. I was after a quick weightloss because I felt so ashamed of the way I looked, but I figured why put my body through something that wouldnt be good for my child, or myself. So there I am eating clean and exercising, the good old way :)

    You replace two meals with their shakes or whatever.. Yea My mom and aunts did it for about 4 months! Lost SO much weight... after 4 months! Gained back and more!!

    Girls all over my facebook are on Herbalife at the moment to get their 'Summer bods'. Sick of seeing it!

    Oh god tell me about it! Got a herbalife dealer on my Facebook. F**king hashtags everywhere #herbalife #summerbody #how'saboutf**koffwithyourhashtags

    Me too!! She's always posting some bull**** about 10 day belly buster detox drink. I mean REALLY?! I see girls all the time posting on her FB page saying, "Hey I did the plan! And it worked great! I got into my dress! But now I'm starting to gain weight again... what do I do?!"

    "For breakfast you have oatmeal, for lunch a can of tuna, then for dinner a can of green beans. I know this lady who lost six pounds in a week". A CAN of green beans. Guess Frozen green beans just don't melt the same amount of fat cells.

    To ask why someone would want to lose twenty pounds in a week is an odd question to me. Why would you not want to be twenty pounds closer to our goal if it could be done safely. I really think that if there were a pill I could take that would have absolutely no ill effects and I could wake up tomorrow morning at my ideal weight, I would take it.

    What I hate... I mean really HATE(!!!), are the people who see me and say: "Wow, you look GREAT! You've lost so much! Hey, you should try X diet/pill/ect. I hear you can lose, like, 10 pounds a week."

    Um, ok, you just told me I'm looking good. You can see I'm losing, and doing fine with it. What on earth makes you think I'm looking to *change* what is working for me?


    ETA: Forgot to mention this. There is a place around here that is advertising that you can "spray your fat away" Dear Lord, help the poor people who fall for that one! And they've named their store Healthy Systems USA. Because yeah, it's not only healthy (it must be, it's right in the title :huh: ), but patriotic as well. They even have a little jingle, it goes "if you've got fat, don't worry 'bout that! Call Healthy Systems USA!" :noway:

    Different things work for different people. If someone is motivated by quick results, then a meal replacement plan is temporary can be great. Then while they are on the meal replacement plan, they need to learn how to eat proportioned meals within a calorie range appropriate for their exercise level. Not everyone who goes on a meal replacement plan gains all the weight back. A good one will slowly wean you off it as you drop the weight.

    One of my friend did a protein diet, where you can only eat veggies and dry "proteinated" food. She gained everything back as expected. But the worst to me was the nutritionist (using that term very loosely here) told her she should continue with the weight loss even after she got really skinny.

    Certain people are just terrible.

    Funny how anything that is advertised that promises success without hard work...is just crap. Lots of diets out there but only one thing can change your life...YOU! Funny to read all of these posts.
