I'm sure we all know someone who is trying to lose weight. What kind of stupid or odd things have you heard of the people around you doing to lose weight?
 
I don't know what other people have done but I tried the Carbohydrate Addicts Diet...basically you ate three times per day, the first two meals were like Atkins, no carbs...the third meal you could eat whatever you wanted provided you ate it in a 60 minute time span...

I ate cheesesteaks every night for dinner and whatever else I could stuff in my mouth during that hour.

Needless to say, it was not a success for me.
 
my favorite diet I did - years ago - and I've talked aobut this before -there's a similar thread here that i'm too lazy to look for... the susan powter diet - all carbs, low protein, no fat... I lost a bunch of weight -my hair fell out in clumps, my skin looked worse than it does right now... and I ended up with a case of pnemonia that had me in the hospital - gained all weight back when I started eating again...

you guys remember Kai from the BL? She said for several days before the finale, she'd only eat jello and sit in a sauna for hours on end.

I know a bunch of people who did this diet but I had no idea what it was. That sounds..well..goofy.
 
Holy crap is that stupid......
I am really surprised he even got anything resembling a positive response.
 
although -I could make the stretch that if a person keeps their nether regions all clean and nice - and practice good hygiene -then they stand a better chance of getting some nookie because no one really gets turned on by afunky snatch.. :D (i'm sure there's a kink for that somewhere but - it'snot really mainstream) So going with clean =attractive -

If she's clean - then she'll get more nookie and more nookie equates to good cardio and cardio helps with weight loss and good cardio vascular health -not to mention it's fun :) and that keeps the spirits up too..

and there you have the mal clean snatch sex diet :) you heard it hear first folks.. :D

Package it and market it before someone steals your idea...

I'm sure Steve can help w/all that :D
 
I'm gonna use his picture on the book :)

Not that his face reminds me of a clean snatch or anything but he's kinda like the beefcake on those bodice ripping novels... :) and it'd make people think SEX :D

I am incredibly amused that Im actually able to use the word snatch - in the vulgar sense and not be offended by it...
 
This isn't stupid but a friend of mine will do like 200-300 situps at work in his office as he closes his door then he opens it up and acts like nothing happens :)....he does it 2-3 times a week

It amazes me. Maybe I just don't have time or Maybe I am too lazy?

Sounds like a great idea though
 
I have heard a few... my nana (she was our once a week cleaning and cooking fairy) was very very obese. It was difficult for her to walk through doors (and yet she never broke anything, was the fastest cleaner and, of course, the best cook in the world). Well she tried it all.
She even tried (and this is probably the weirdest one I have ever heard... albeit the douching is a close second) parenteral feeds, where she would be hooked up to an IV with saline for weeks and would eat nothing through her mouth.
Not only did it not work (I mean she couldn't possibly work, or take care of her children, or do anything!!), but as soon as she abandoned it she gained back a ton of weight!

Oh well... Camy
 
the cabbage soup diet and the fact that it's been around since the beginning of time and still people think is a good idea...

Pretty much any diet that promises to drop a dress size in 3 days, lose 20lbs while you sleep, lose your tummy, or any diet promoted by the magazines soldon at the checkout stands...
 
the milk diet...

all you drink is milk for like a week (WOW id be hungry..and im lactose and tolerant sooo i dont think that would be a good idea at all) and you can lose like 5ib in 3 days or some bull like that LOL

the things people do to get thin...oh man
:smilielol5:
 
"Water fasts".. and I hear of people doing these for weeks. At least that's what they claim. I can only imagine that once you start eating again, the lbs come back, and with some friends too. Pure silliness.
 
The Atkins Diet?


I always had the opinion that the Atkins Diet was a ridiculous idea for weight loss (even though I have been informed that it was used to prepare patients for heart surgery...) Eating large amounts of meat and fatty meats, at that, cheeses, in large amounts??? I don't see how that could even make a person feel well, let alone keep their skin free of zits! In high school we used to not eat for several days in a row....that's how us young girls kept our girlie figures. But, then we had youth, energy, more health....starving in adulthood only shuts down metabolism and destroys muscle. Alas, starving is dum diet No. 2. I'd lke to know if anyone ever went on the "Fit for Life" plan. I lost over 75 pounds, about six years ago and maintained a size four--until about nine months ago....I'm back almost where I began. Been here before, Conquered before! Fit for Life was easy and satisfying for me....it involved a lot of no mixing carbs and proteins at meals, and only eating fruit, until noon. I felt so good........I'll make it, with help!

That would have to be the Warrior Diet.

Under eat during the day and gorge at night.

"The rationale is that the historic "warrior", in order to succeed in the environment of the time, had a primal need to cycle between undereating during the day (when physical activity and danger were always present), and overeating at night (when able to rest and eat a good daily meal). Modern humans in a changed environment can therefore restore health and fitness, by returning to that cycle with the Warrior Diet."
 
The latest stupidity here is hawked on the main radio station - "one tablespoon of liquid protein at bed time melts fat off your belly, butt and thighs while you sleep. No need for exercise or diets, you can eat what ever you want and loose 8 dress sizes!"

I looked the product up online and they make all these claims for it with no substantiation, and a one month supply is something like $200. It AMAZES me that anyone would fall for that tripe - but the radio station has been plugging this snake oil for about a year now. I can't wait for the FDA to shut em down when there are enough complaints.

God Bless,
