Who's struggling. My clients are successful at taking and keeping the weight off. And that's without voodoo cleanses and the like. And they're happy and healthy.
Nice try though.
Let me get this straight.
Somehow in your twisted perception of reality, me asking for research on the topic at hand equates to me being close-minded?
That's almost laughable.
You're right, there is no research that doesn't involve drugs, lol.
What about the real world though? Where you have people who are eating balanced, healthy meals that are calorically controlled and are exercising. You know... the people who lose weight and keep it off by following rational tactics.
You should be careful. That pedestal you're building for yourself is getting mighty high. Falling from it could cause some serious injury.
I've stuck with this forum over the others because I've received the most logical advice that seems to be something that makes sense to me to try. Extremes or very unusual things to try don't really interest me. I think there is a lot of common sense that a person needs to use when trying to lose weight and get into shape. I think you need to listen to what your body is telling you. Support and advice is great - but weigh what you hear and pick what makes the most sense to you personally.
