why does a site thats here to help with nutrition and fitness advertise sites with false promisses.18lbs in 4 days? Only if i cut my leg off. make changes you can live with and stay away from anyone that mentions the word diet. Lifestyle change is the way to go.

    i think it is just google's search machine that tags what we are looking at and posts adds that are related. I mentioned that i was a Christian on a website and up popped all this stuff about God and the bible...

    yep. notice topics of posts and then keywords in the post show up in the advertising.

    There's probably a "diet" ad up there right now, no? I have one.

    The ads that are on screen are from Google. Google sells the ad space on the site.
    That is straight from Mike himself
