    Cutting out anything is totally unnecessary. There isn't some magical ingredient in food that makes you fat. Eating too much of it makes you fat.

    Anything extreme is just not gonna cut it for the long run. If you can't keep it up forever then don't do it.

    There just isn't any reason to replace the concept of 'expending more than I consume' with 'some *kitten* I made up'

    In the past two weeks I have gained 5 lbs, even though I have stayed within my calorie goals. I must have gone into starvation mode, and need to eat more!!

    My sister just started the 5:2 diet.

    You eat 'normally' for 5 days, then eat less than 500kcals for two days.

    I think she is an idiot.

    I'm serious... Let's start a ridiculously stupid fad diet. Call it something catchy. The Dragon's Semen Diet or something. Eating only hot sauce and various animal's reproductive organs.

    100% sure that this will catch on.

    Ever wonder why the Chinese are so slim? Why they age so well? Why the live long healthy lives?

    The 'Year of the Dragon' diet is built from ancient eastern knowledge, which as we all know is far more reliable than modern medical science.
    The Chinese believed in the health benefits of 'Dragon Virility Juice' a derivative of dragon semen. (There is are plenty of pieces of art that clearly depict dragons in china, do not let the censoring of the modern media fool you!)
    If course, dragon semen is hard to obtain these days so we bring you a modern alternative milked from lizards.
    Simply knock back one load of 'dragon virility juice' a day, along with no food or water, for a month. The difference will amaze you!
