Dieting, Diet and Weight Loss

By Hello, hello,



I don't think there is a more popular subject that dieting, diet and weight loss.

By now we have had all the variations of diet meal and diet menu. Even the 8 glasses of water a day, until some people died because they had too much fluid. How anybody can be so heartless and bring out an advice like that, just to make money.

Make no mistake I would like to loose some weight but it just won't go. I have tried to eat less and it still sits there. You would think it is made of cement or even more likely concrete. One thing I can't get myself to do is all these salads like some of these weight loss program. First of all, I can't see the point eating all these salads and when you come off it, because you can't leave on salads all the time, you bound to put it on again. Naturally, when you eat salads you loose weight.

The diet pills, of course, as usual very, very high priced and with all the guarantees. Everybody runs and buys it. Then for the umpteenth of time they realize that it was a waste of time and money. Don't get me wrong, I have full sympathy with the people who want to loose weight. They got another disappointment and their hope vanished that these diet pills will be the answer.

Well we had all the detox diet, recipes for diet meals, at least I hope we had, but now we are having one magicall berry after the other. First the acai berry was the magic. I read soon after and I hope I still get the story right. These Acai berries supposed to grow wild in the Himalayas that is why they so full of nutrients and vitamins. Of course highly priced. In an article in the paper that the natives wouldn't bother to eat them, the birds have them. They showed one shrub and there wasn't another one wide and bright. So where did they get these millions of other berries from. Then it said that the Chinese are growing them over the border and the supplier pretends they are from the Himalayas. After that the guy vanished but by then he made millions.

Recently, they praised the Blueberry. It is the ultimate of berries containing nourishment which helps you loose weight. At least they weren't so expensive.

I think it is disgusting to make money from people's miseries.

Now they will find again another berry. Hold on because this is definitely the berry of all berries.

I so agree with you about this awful die and diet problem. It is a multi-billion dollar business in the US. I am so glad to see people finally returning to real food for real health - it works.

Interesting point about where are all these acai berries coming from. Well, if they are not locally grown - and they are not here in the US - then we should be suspicious. We should also eat locally grown foods which have adapted to our environment and well help us to adapt.

Sigh! Food - who knew that one day it would be able to destroy us.

Hello BkCreative,

Thank you for your comment. Years ago the acai berry was hailed in the UK as the ultimate. Then the papers found out this story, the guy vanished, and I wouldn't be surprised it is the same guy who has now that hype in the USA. Having another multi million business. Maybe the press could check him out there.

The only way to lose weight is to exercise. What you eat makes little difference till you burn the calories that your body is already storing.

You know I'm with you about dieting. I've tried everything that is even remotely suggested to lose weight. My problem is I don't eat very much at all, and I'm told that I need to eat more, and I just can't bring myself to do that, oh I've tried, but not able to continue. I guess it's my age. Anyway good hub.
