Two simple rules to lose 9 pounds per week - yeah, right!

  • I keep getting this ad on the right side of the screen that says "Learn two simple rules to lose nine pounds per week!" I know! Don't eat anything and don't drink anything!!! It's just driving me CRAZY!!! Course an argument could be made that I was crazy before the ad started to run...
  • I hear you. How about the one on how to lose belly fat. Yes, you can diet away just the fat on your belly.......
  • I use ad blocker so I don't see any ads, yay.
  • That's funny! My ad says "Lose 42 lbs in 3 Months" ... still a bit extreme for most people.
  • Actually the only place you lose weight is in your wallet if you answer these ads.

    This is a must for firefox users. My computer doesn't lock anymore
  • That's right BARGOO ~ some well-meaning, but naive people even send me emails suggesting that I buy these products to help me lose weight. I am not spending hundreds of $$$ a month on colon cleanses and herb pills ... they are a complete waste of money!!!

    I've seen that one also throught the Prevention websit. You would think that Prevention would screen this and have better information available.
  • the worst thing though is young kids or teens that might be surfing the web and click on this stuff. i remember when i was around 14 years old i called up one of these companies wanting to order their stuff. thankfully i didn't end up buying it but these diet scams are causing so much harm
