Insane diet

sucrets4

Some woman at work was telling my lunch group that she was considering going on this new diet, but hopefully we talked her out of it.  Listen to how INSANE it is:

~You give yourself hCg injections (the pregnancy hormone) daily
~You eat 500 calories a day
~You drink 2 liters of water a day

wtf?!??  Apparently some doctor has done 'research' why it works and why it's good...BECAUSE YOU'RE ONLY FUCKING EATING 500 CALORIES A DAY!!!  And apparently the hCg keeps you from feeling hungry.

Fuuck that.  Any diet that require INJECTIONS is fuucked up.

I think we convinced her not to do it, but I was the first one to open my mouth and say (in a nice way) that I think it's going to do more harm than good.

She's also currently doing the Jillian Michaels Cleanse.  Why are people looking for quick fixes when we KNOW how awful they are for us??

[QUOTE]Hahaha I agree. I thought his dieting of just eating healthy and working out was good enough. Apparently his mom and him decided otherwise. I know he will not ever do it again. He can get the same results on his own, no weirdo shots needed.

I'm sorry, I went back and read my post and realized how harsh it came across!

Kikipania- I didn't have any problem with your post. You were just stating your opinion (which is pretty close to mine). I don't think T would mind either. No worries .

I never understood these things.  Don't you think if a diet plan or pill or injection had been created that was safe, effective, gave you quick results and those results lasted it would be all over the news?  Even the popular ones like Atkins and WW and stuff are about losing weight over time.

sounds like Dr. Bernsteins.
i have had a couple girl friends try it, and they were injected with crap and both suffered quite badly health wise.


there is no "quick fix".  you get healthy and thinner through diet and exercise full stop.
restricting your diet to 500 calories a day puts your body into starvation and your system eats all your muscle for energy way before fat.

so stupid.
