Don't Forget to Flush

Wanna know the REAL INSIDER'S TOP SECRET WAY to stay in shape?!

Well, of course you do, and of course you already know: diet and exercise, exercise and diet, yes, of course, what a snooze. But what about when that just plain doesn't work? Lots of women swear by the Fat Flush diet, which involves juice fasts and detoxing to drop pounds fast. Oprah? Not one of those women.

On the Diet and Fitness Fat Flush board, Variede writes, "Has anyone else read the August edition of The Oprah Magazine? They had experts review six hot diets of today. The Fat Flush did not receive a good review. In fact it goes on to say that the science behind it is sketchy. It also says that weight loss doesn't have to be this complicated."

sl-hoppole shoots back, "In the ideal world we'd all watch what we put in our mouths and never get fat in the first place....but life isn't like that for a lot of us....is it? I was a two time gold Weight Watcher member....each time it all went back and more. I felt a failure...These critics are in a veiled way hinting that it is fat people's own fault they are fat...they are actually saying that fat people are pigs and lazy lumps."

And trust me, it just gets more heated from there.

Would you go on a diet that promised significant weight loss in a matter of days? Do you feel that critics of so-called fad diets are in fact implying that overweight people just need to buck up, that being overweight is their own fault? What has your experience been with Fat Flush or other trendy diets? Do you find it odd that Oprah is on the cover of her own magazine every month? Join the conversation.
