"Crazy fad diet week" or what?
I've been seeing stuff like...bean diets...eat nothing but raw vegetables diet...etc.
Cows are VERY different from humans. First off they have seven stomachs, and they chew cud. In other words their digestive systems are VASTLY different from ours.
I'm getting the impression that you read the 'navy bean/cow' connection in an ad for this pill. I might as well tell you now - those pills will only make your wallet lighter. That goes for just about every single 'diet pill' out there...any pounds you might lose in the beginning are from a placebo effect.
What you need to do is decide what YOU want in life. Do you want to be lean and fit, happy and healthy (of course the trade off is going to be drastically reducing your intake or 'just saying no' to such things as bread, cookies, hot dogs etc) or do you want to eat whatever you feel like and be fat and miserable for the rest of your life? It's a harsh choice that I had to make myself. I once WAS that obese couch potato snarfing up pizza, McDonald's, half-gallons of ice cream, while in front of the TV feeling miserable and just WISHING for a miracle diet pill or fat sucking machine.
And I gotta tell you...speaking as a size four at this point...sure I miss having junk food when other people around me are pigging out. But rather than the momentary pleasure of sugar and fat, I MUCH prefer the feeling of being lean, fit, HAPPY, confident, STRONG...
And guess what? I still get to indulge myself. Once a week, I have whatever I'm craving and really enjoy it, rather than stuffing it guiltily down my throat without really tasting it.
Again, it's a choice you have to make. But those pills advertised in magazines, newspapers and infomercials are NOT the answer.
Sorry about the lecture...just my two cents...
