Most Outrageous?

[PaperAirPlanes]

What's the most outrageous "weight loss" ad you've seen?

I was just on MySpace and saw one that claimed "I lost 43lbs in two weeks". Yeh....n I'm Jesus.

Something called 'Lighter Life'. 'Lost 40 lbs in 2 months, and kept the weight down for 3 years!' On the bottom in the small print it says 'extremely low calorie diet'.

Checked with my GP yesterday because we were talking about weight loss programs and because I couldn't find much on the internet....he gave me some printouts about it. It's a 500 cal (!!!!) diet, and the program exists for about 8 months now. So much for keeping the weight down for 3 years! *grrrrrr*

is a really informative and very educational site that spends a lotof time educating people about diet scams... desperate people will try desperate things.. completely avoiding the obvious solutiion.. ya know, consistent behavior over time....

LOL I think I lost about 250 lbs over a weekend before!!

Ive seen that same ad on myspace about the 43 pounds in 2 weeks... I don't even think the pic of the lady they posted had 43 pounds to lose in the first place!!!

I like I how this forum as well as fitday advertise for the different fad diets and scams... such as the pink patch. Kinda ironic.
