So, this week there will of course be more rediculous diets but I also want to talk about the 7 ways to spot a weight loss scam. There are so many pills and diets that promise magical weight loss fast, but how do you know what will work and what wont? Here are some helpful hits! (information from HERE)

(1) Promises of fast, permanent or easy (usually it is all of the above) weight loss
(2)Lacks scientific evidence to support claims, instead relying on glowing testimonials
(3)Claims you can lose weight without exercising or making dietary modifications.
(4)Claims to remove fat from certain areas of your body (can you say “thigh master?”)
(5)Uses terms such as “miracle”, “scientific breakthrough”, “secret formula” and “revolutionary” to describe their product.
(6)Claims that there is a singular compound/factor is keeping you from losing weight (inevitably, they are selling something that will rectify the culprit). Read: Cortisol-reducers, HGH enhancers etc.
(7) STAY AWAY FROM INFOMERCIALS

Hope some of those hints were helpful :) Now on to some more crazyyyy diets fads


(1) The "ruin your food diet"- Basically how is works in take a couple of bites of food then drench the rest with hot sauce, dish destergent, or salt on the rest of your food....i dont know about you but if i was starving and drenched my food with any of those rediculous suggestions I would just go into the fridge and get something else....

(2) The bagel diet- Eat bagels and water (THATS IT) until the weight u want lost is gone

(3) The burrito diet- Eat a burrito everyday! oh, as long as you eat nothing else

(4) Lemonade diet- Last only two weeks and your supposed to watch the weight pour off. All you have to do is drink a mixture of lemonade, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper....yummmm.....and make sure thats all you have to eat, no solids, no regualr lemonade.. just that disgusting mix.


So I hope you enjoyed another week of crazy fads...come back next week for a new topic discussion and of course moreeee diets that you should never try :)

So as promised another weekly post....



this week i'm going to introduce to you a popular diet trend that a lot of college girls will follow (and most of us college girls are guilty of this). Someone who follows this diet is called a "Drunkerexic". This diet consists of skipping meals so you can drink more later. Mostly girls will skip breakfast, have a light lunch, and then skip dinner. Since alcohol has a TON of calories and carbs, girls will feel guilty about consuming all those calories and will get drunker faster if on an empty stomach. This is not a safe way about "dieting" it's almost being anorexic but you can have one meal a day and drink what you please at night.

anyway lets see what other crazy diets i found online....

(1) Diet Patches- Def. not as effective as nicotine patches. The whole concept of this "watch the pounds fall off" no matter what you eat is pretty crazy. People who buy into this idea of a weight loss strategy are out of their minds. I think this is prob the worst diet I have seen yet. And they claim you will see results in 3 days...right


(2) Eggplant Extract Diet- Take two "fatfoe" pills a day and watch the weight fall off...and you can eat fried chicken, pizza, all the desert you want and you dont have to exercise....hmmm something doesnt sound right. These pills must be magic


(3) Tart Diet- Eat as much as you want as long as its Drinking a mix of maple syrup, lemon juice, water and cayenne pepper.....gross


(4) Cardio Free Diet- Hate cardio? or any workout for that matter? than this diet is perfect for you because it claims cardio is bad for your health...who knew?


So thats enough crazy diets for the week....I should have mentioned in the beginning of my blog that I am doing this for my internet marketing class that I attend at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, CT. As a part of this blog we have to post websites about topics we were assinged and my topic is Internet Marketing Legal Issues...so if your interested click here to learn more :)

until next week.....dont work out...its bad for your health
