I thought this week i would mainly talk about weight loss shows and a new show that PROMISES you can eat whatever you want and still lose weight....hmm.....the host claims hes going to talk to us through the TV and teach everyone eating haits that will change their life forever. The host, Paul Mckenna claims to have helped royalty and celebs lose weight, and I think the best part of the show is that hes a hypnotist...come on is this really going to be a show? he's going to hypnotize the audience through the TV? when this thing airs i will clearly be doing a blog about it and hopefully it isnt going to be as redic as it sounds. Since it has not aired yet i do not have too much info about it but trust me when i find out, you will too.
Another weight loss show is called "The Biggest Loser". This happens to honestly be one of my fav shows and the change these people have is insane. The people on the show basically eat healthy and work out a LOT and the results are great. This ties into the whole crazy diets fads because if people can just see how much weight you can lose with a healthy diet and exercise they should not be doing the hot dog diet or Gods diet, they should be eating healthy and getting up off the couch.

Now to the crazy fads....there is a diet out there called the cookie diet that woman swear on. Here is a quote from NBC that explains how the whole thing works "Most participants lose between 12 and 15 pounds per month on the cookie diet, eating six cookies during the daytime and then a dinner of six ounces of protein and two cups of vegetables." Woman admit its hard at first having to give up their favorite foods, but in the words of a participant, "nothing tastes better than thin". I guess this diet could work but youre very restricted on life. You should be able to eat what you want in life in portions and with working out. All these diets seem like they dont let you live and would never work for me. When i get out of college i will be going on a diet and working out but i will refuse to cut out everything i love. Balance is the key to weight loss.
