LOL

So I'm on my phone and taking a lunch at work and I'm sitting next to these two ladies who must just be snacking because they're definitely not eating enough for real energy. And suddenly I pick up on what they're saying.

"So its--it has you start out on eating a ton of really fatty foods and then you start the actual diet."

They're talking about human chorionic gonadotropin and the "sublingual drops" diet. I know this because I have a friend who went on the diet a few months ago. It has you overeat for three days and then suddenly drop to 500 calories per day for 45 ish days. She lost some fat really fast. And now she's the same size as before the diet. Just another crash diet. Too bad some people just have to learn from experience otherwise I would have said something. They wouldn't listen to me anyway. I'm not a skinny model so clearly I know nothing about healthful eating.

I have a friend in St. Croix who was doing it. She was going to blog about it every Wednesday. We have stopped hearing about it. Her health wasn't great to begin with and I really worried about how it would affect her. Good to be cautious.
