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 :)
