Really?I just tried a diet plan that made just that promise ... lose 14 pounds in 7 days.
To say I was skeptical would be an understatement in the extreme.
14 pounds in 7 days is A LOT of poundage to drop and not a whole lot of time to lose it in.
But I tried it, and it does work. But don't think this is some inane testimonial. The plan does work, but it isn't easy or for the feint of heart.

It's gotten to be a given that diet and weight loss companies lie to us all with wild and reckless abandon.
I get that.
But what about "experts" in the field? What about doctors? How could THEY possibly be so ... well, down right totally and completely CLUELESS!
Or are they all just stupid, I can't decide.
I was thumbing through some old issue of some Maryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04593692511038641518noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8958301.post-1099493458236169742004-11-03T06:42:00.000-08:002004-11-03T06:50:58.236-08:00Don't Drown!We are constantly being inundated with the need to drink water. A lot of water.
I've seen "experts" talk about the need to drink water, and I'm not kidding, by the GALLON!
Yes, drinking a lot of water is helpful, and if you can drink that much in a day, you'll certainly help your weight loss activities and in general help your body to be healthier.

Look, do you like starving yourself?
I know I sure don't.
I can't STAND to be hungry. When I get hungry is when I'm the most likely to reach for the junk food ... which really kills a good diet.
The problem isn't that you are eating too much.
It's that you aren't eating often Maryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04593692511038641518noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8958301.post-1099337479174427622004-11-01T11:22:00.000-08:002004-11-01T11:31:19.176-08:00The FDA is lying to youThere are research studies, and there are research studies.
Some types of studies are done purposely to obtain a predefined outcome. These types of studies are junk.
Other types of studies are done to find the truth. In the arena of pharmaceuticals, drugs, health supplements, etc. they call these types of studies "double-blind and placebo controlled".
The FDA is trying to fool people right Maryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04593692511038641518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8958301.post-1099288874079625662004-10-31T21:55:00.000-08:002004-10-31T22:01:14.080-08:00Surprise, surpriseWell, this isn't exactly a "health news" sort of thing, but I am a marketing consultant.
I was just messing around, and I came upon a blog almost the same age as mine (meaning brand spankin new).
From what I've seen of the first post, this is a guy that knows what he's talking about.
I'm sure going to be keeping my eye on his blog. It's called No BS Insider Marketing Tips and it looks like Maryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04593692511038641518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8958301.post-1099282105504014072004-10-31T20:06:00.000-08:002004-10-31T20:08:25.506-08:00The Absolute BeginningThis site is going to contain my own personal saga to lose weight. Over the years I've found there to be so much absolute JUNK out there, that I'm determined to forge a new road.
I'm determined to do things differently, and this blog will give me extra incentive to get done what I claim.
If I don't, there's a whole internet full of people to let me know I'm dropping the ball.
I'll be posting Maryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04593692511038641518noreply@blogger.com1
