I saw this when it first appeared, then lost it -- so glad you have posted it here! A former insider reinforces what many of us have experienced with diets. Thank you!

I am sorry to be brief but I have one word...WOW!

I second that comment: WOW.

I really needed to read that this morning. I've been struggling and thinking I need to do something other than or in addition to No S - but this clarified things real fast. You are a gem for posting this.

Interesting.

I looked at her site. A person could spend a pretty penny there, too.

That's wonderful and confirms all my believes. I'm so proud to be raising daughters who think diets are crazy and know beauty comes in all sizes.

Thanks for posting!!

I owe you an apology, my former client and now friend, who I helped to lose too much weight. Who I watched gain the weight back, plus some. Because that's what happens when you put someone on a 1200 calorie diet. But I didn't know. If you're reading this, then I want you to know that you have always been beautiful. And that all these fad diets are crap meant to screw with your metabolism so that you have to keep buying into them. I think now that I was a really good weight loss consultant. Because I did exactly what the company wanted (but would never dare say). I helped you lose weight and then gain it back, so that you thought we were the solution and you were the failure. You became a repeat client and we kept you in the game. I guess I did my job really well.

Just eat food. Eat real food, be active, and live your life. Forget all the diet and weight loss nonsense. It's really just that. Nonsense.

Enough said.

That sounds like Jenny Craig. I know because I tried that diet! Lol, and was hungry and in a bad mood the whole time I was on it.
