Not surprised there. Slimfast isnt exactly dieting if you eat exactly the same crap for all your other meals. Boring! Next!-3 -
A long time ago a friend lost a bunch of weight by eating Lean Cuisines for lunch and dinner and taking Metabolift. I did it and lost tons of wait and turned into a hyperactive freak.0

Are you interested in hearing stories or looking for inspiration for a fad diet to do yourself, as I notice you've posted another thread about wanting to do a cleanse?0 -
Okay. I heard Kim Kardashian eats a serving of food at restaurants then sprays the rest of her food on her playe down with windex to stop herself from eating anymore. Crazy or what? lol. That's what I'd call a bad fad diet.-1

No. Those are two totally unrelated topics. Cleanses are not diets. Diets by definition are ways one eats, period. A cleanse is a temporary diet in order to get the body back in order. I've done cleanses before and felt really good afterward. I dont do them to loose weight. Personally I dont have weight to loose! But sometimes the body has trouble processing certain foods, suffers bacterial overgrowths or a host of other problems that you may not be aware of. Some people drink too much caffeine. A cleanse can kick the habit and help you start fresh.-1 -

That's .... Contradictory at best.0 -

I tried the cabbage soup diet once.... Lost weight and lost my desire to eat cabbage for years. Plus it made your pee smell funky after a bit.
Did some kind of low fat thing in the 90's when I was a teen that was pretty much eating nothing but beans, rice, and veggies. Lost weight, but nobody wanted to hang out with me after all those beans.... My social life took a hit.

Haters.
I'm not being a hater. You literally said, "Cleanses are not diets" and then one sentence later said diets are about the way you eat (which changes when you are doing a cleanse, thus making it a diet by your definition) and then, "A cleanse is a temporary DIET...."
Just trying to figure out what you mean.

Yep - a "cleanse" is a fad, a temporary way of eating, a gimmick.
Case in point - there is a "new" fat burning soup/cleansing soup diet......the recipe for the soup is miraculously like the 1980's Dolly Parton cabbage soup. It has a brand new "gimmicky" title now.
This was a fad that I tried in the 80's (but now it's a cleanse...who knew?)....anyway I did lose a few pounds, but of course this wasn't a lifestyle change so the weight came back.0 -

Just the way that you quickly dismissed Barbequesauce's comment about Slim Fast as Boring! Next! as if you were looking for something to try yourself.0 -

Similar experience on Slim Fast. Those shakes were vile and they don't teach you anything about portion control. I don't know if I lost anything on them, but I sure didn't keep it off when I quit.

Those Slimfast shakes were pretty good with McDonald's fries.
