Weekend detoxes, wawa crystals...

And other post Christmas nonsense.

Magazines atm seem to have a common theme of 'it's long enough since Christmas to peddle get rid of Christmas pounds fast! ' propaganda.

I have one which gives step by step weekend detox advice, including a set menu.
Day 1 is salmon and mushrooms on gluten free toast.
Now, nothing wrong with salmons and mushrooms but I doubt many people have them for breakfast and why have gluten free toast if one is not gluten intolerant??
In which case you wouldn't just have it that weekend.
Anyway, despite 'withdrawal symptoms' of nausea and headaches, one loses 4kg in 2 days - about 5 1b.

If this doesn't appeal there is another recomendation for Wawa crystals - they just flush away fat ~ 30 sachets, free drink bottle and book and wristband for only $99.95 ( +$29.95 postage )

Head bang.

    Why gluten free toast?
    Smoked salmon and egg for breakfast on bagel is yum

    Now I want smoked salmon

    I have no idea rabbitj - but that's what it said.

    I think because it was avoiding all 'toxins'; fizzy drink, sugar, caffeine, alcohol, processed foods were all named as culprits. And is trendy to see gluten as a toxin culprit.
    The only drink allowed all weekend was cucumber and herb infused water. Why not plain ordinary water, I don't know either.

    Is wawa what the people who buy the crystals say once they wise up and realise they just spent $130 on complete crap?

    Ive noticed a common theme of these fad diets is that, while they claim to be simple, they are actually very complicated.

    I am convinced that this is a safeguard against the diet failing. It isn't " this diet doesn't work" it's "you aren't diciplined enough to follow this diet"

    The diet is put above reproach, just look how saintly and pure it is! It's *you* that's undisciplined and sinful. If only you were a better person....

    That's why they're popular, and that's why ppl keep coming back, because they want to be that pure perfect person who drinks naught but cucumber water and fancy-toast. But alas, reality.

    According to medieval medical theory, cucumbers reduce fevers and purify the urine. Yeah, it's woowoo, but it's historical woowoo--700 years old and written in Latin. (Beat that, Dr. Oz!) I bet someone could repackage the theory of the humours into a modern diet program and make a mint.

    Hang on, my foam roller will make me taller???? Why haven't I been told this before?

    The latest detox thing I heard about is some magic potion that removes the "rotting food and toxic sludge" from your gut to flatten your belly.

    I'm over arguing about detoxing but if you really think food sits in you and rots on a regular basis...well.

    I just don't know what to say to that.

    This reminds me of an "Idiots of the Internet" installment I saw last night. It was a tweet that read something like "There's no excuse for a man to be under 6'. Get your fat a** to the gym!"

    I can remove toxic sludge from my gut with a trip through the Taco Bell drive thru after a night at the bar. Oof.

    I remove mine with Magnesium Hydroxide. Especially when IBS gets bad. Lol

    Don't forget the leeches (although they have actual applications and results). I did read a Sears catalog from the 1920s that sold tapeworms as a diet trend. I vote on bringing that one back, I bet I could even get a "Dr." Oz recommendation.

    Yeah, I'm sick of being 5'2. I can't reach anything in my upper cabinets. So annoying. My 7 year old is almost as tall as me >.<

    Sugar Free gummy bears will probably remove anything from your gut. Imagine combining that with Taco Bell. Fun to be had by all.

    I have used a foam roller for a year. I am still 5ft 1. I want my money back.

    Although, maybe I'm doing it wrong? Perhaps I was supposed to bless it with some crystals or something first?
