beachgrl, I know that this is not what you asked, but here goes. About two months ago, I finally got serious about my diet, read a few books (I recommend "Death by Supermarket" available on Amazon.com) and decided to make a change. Long story short, I only eat "real" food now. Very little sugar, no processed junk, no soy (it's not the health food they would have you believe), only organic dairy, and organic meat when possible. More vegetables, fruits and nuts. Yes, it's an adjustment, but that's mainly because our entire food system is geared toward manufactured crap. Fortunately stores like Publix and Fresh Market have decent organic offerings at fairly reasonable prices. And here's the best part. Once you no longer eat that stuff, your cravings for it disappear. I was the biggest sugar junkie in the world. I still eat chocolate, but now it's the 85% cocoa stuff, maybe one or two squares a day. And I've lost 15 pounds so far, fairly effortlessly I would say. And I feel so much better. Please don't settle for thin and unwell, when you can be thin and healthy. Not only will you look better, you will be investing in your future health by considerably reducing your odds of many preventable diseases.

Great job (although I am trying to figure out how you would need to lose 15 pounds- you must be a size 0 now!) The diet sounds similar to Sugar Busters/South Beach, which both have some eating habit changes that are crucial to weight loss and better health all around.

I want to hear more about the book!

No, not even a doctor. I knew the answer to the question but it is unreal how many people are swearing by this "patch" in the Dothan area.......just wanted some feedback and got it.......thanks

Just out of curiousity, is it multilevel marketing? I see cars with magnetic signs and roadside signs here proclaiming the utility of the patch but it is obviously a MLM pitch.

All joking aside, Miss Critter is 100% correct about lifestyle modification. I assure you, if somebody actually did invent a method that allowed for effortless elimination of obesity, that inventor would probably have a name as well known as Bill Gates and a bank account that matched. The old axiom of something that sounds too good to be true being just that fits here, as it does in so many health improvement scams.

:roll: Another Zombie Thread from the olden daze....a couple of weeks ago we dug up Erik Estrada--there appears to be a pattern forming. Isn't there anything new happening in town?

I gotta admit, both the CHiPS and the MLM threads hold a special place in my heart :love:
