Miracle Diet

What if I told you you could lose twenty pounds in a month. You can eat whatever you want. You don't have to work out. All you need is one pill. Then voila, watch the pounds start melting off.

The catch is, in the pill is a baby tapeworm.

Everywhere you look there seems to be a company that says it has found the secret to losing weight. Take this pill, or give yourself this shot. Only eat cabbage for a month. I even saw this product on a blog

So if there isn't any sugar, fat or calories, then what is it? A bunch of chemicals I'm guessing.

Yesterday my sister and I went to a GF Expo (which was not that good by the way) and there were about four vendors that were claiming that you can lose weight and look great by going gluten free.

Ugg, there is little more infuriating to me then people wanting to go GF to lose weight. I'm sure it's the same people that were on a fat free diet, and the Atkins diet. There is nothing wrong with wanting to lose weight and be healthy. I understand that all so well. Growing up I was overweight. I had to learn myself how to be healthy. But, I know that diets don't work. It is consistently eating well, and being active. It is the only true way to get and stay healthy.

So all those people out there who are going GF to lose weight, I'm not going to stop you. But consider first looking at the ingredients in GF products, then the price.

By the way, I am GF because of Celiac Disease. My life literally depends on it. Not because it is a new fad.
