Hey there...
Does anyone else watch this show on lifetime? I am basically addicted to it. I think its great :)

Anyways... the point of this post - I have had to miss the last couple of episodes because of the fiance taking over the TV for Sunday night football so I watched it an old episode on demand this morning before work and it was one about this girls mother suing (SP?) this diet program for making her daughter really sick and putting her in the hospital and I am listening to the girl talk about the diet that she was on, which consisted of eating around 500 calories a day!!!!

At first I was like.... well thats just unrealistic and crazy. Nobody would put a diet out there and say that you should only eat 500 calories a day. And then I really though about it and there are actually teen girls out there today that are following this kind of crazy diet thinking that it will make them super skinny like the skewed images of women they see on tv when in fact it will just make them really sick.

So sad.... :cry:

    I happened to see that episode. It was really sad, she had the fake nutrition bars too. It was a really good show. I need to watch more, maybe I can catch up with On Demand.

    I haven't seen the show, but one of my daughters daycare teachers said she and another teacher were trying the "500 Calorie Diet"! :noway: I flat out told her that was insane and completely unhealthy. I have tried to encourage her to join on here but so far no luck. She keeps looking for an easy way out and I keep telling her it is a lifestyle change and there is no easy way out. I hope she figures it out soon.:frown:
