But if you say you know this the only type of thing that works, then you've been on it before and it's worked? But if you've been on it before, and you're back on it again, it doesn't work, does it...?
If these diets worked for the majority of people I'd have no beef with them. And I do appreciate what you say about a little hair loss being worth it if you're currently killing yourself with food and need a solution, any solution. But it seems like the diet industry is just getting richer while people are generally getting fatter and more desperate.
Why is CD so attractive? Yes, you can feel safe, but it seems that the speed of it is the main pull, no? Why does it have to be fast? It's like there's an implicit assumption attached to a quick fix that it'll be over soon so life can get back to normal. But that can't happen. It can never happen if the weight's going to stay off, right? So I just get angry at people who line their pockets pushing quick fix solutions when long term weight loss and maintenance are lifelong challenges. There's no quick fix, so surely encouraging people to take it slow and steady would be more honest? I guess it wouldn't make the bosses as much money, though. SlimSteady wouldn't sell as well as SlimFast, right?
