Choosing Quality Diet Advice Sites
Morning!
I came across the following article from MSNBC, to wit:
…Safe clicking tips when surfing for diet advice
To avoid sales scams, look for sites affiliated with well-known groups
Here are some basic tips for sussing out sites that are worth the click.
As a general rule, sites with the extensions .gov, .edu and sometimes .org contain accurate, unbiased information, says Jeanne Goldberg, a professor of nutrition science at Tufts’ Friedman School of Nutrition.
But legitimate commercial sites — usually with .com endings — can be more user-friendly.
The trick with commercial sites is to look for a stamp of legitimacy, Goldberg says, such as an affiliation with a well-known organization, and to avoid being sucked into a sales gimmick….MORE….
Oh, truer words have NEVER been spoken! The diet and weight loss industry has been, and always will be, Read more »

Subscribe to the comments for this postThe Kimkins Diet Scam
Morning!
You know, nothing warms my heart more than seeing justice served.
Alas, sometimes other scummy critters scurry away from the justice, and try to keep a long-dead scam alive.
I’m talking, of course, about the Kimkins diet scam. Brief, pithy and to point, a rather low-life individual named Heidi Diaz created a "diet plan" that (get this) simply required people not to eat a lot. And we’re talking staying BELOW 800 calories a day!
Due to rather shoddy reporting, this scam got the goahead from Womens World: Read more »
The Magnificent Kindness Diet
Have you ever just wanted to hug your family and your kids because they’re just so wonderful it brings tears to your eyes?
Now, true, this is a diet blog site….but let me tell you, today my kids outdid themselves in utter kindness to Mom.
It all happened when I made the mistake of opening the closet of my sons (in their single digits). Apparently, for the bit of a brief history of time, they decided that ‘cleaning the room’ meant
"Shoving everything inedible, edible and anywhere in between into the closet and hoping Mom didn’t open it."
Well! Today I rather inanely checked out their room, and realized that Read more »
Shunning the EVIL bathroom weight scale
Did you know that bathroom scales are perfect items for controlled demolition?
Yes indeed, I’m serious. ‘Matter of fact, when I well into my weight loss journey, I would have joyfully flung my scale out the Empire State Building simply to test gravity; that was about the only use I could image!
Why is this, I hear you ask?
Because weight loss scales are EEEEEEVIL!
Yes indeed, weight loss bathroom scales are the agonizing invention of the very pits of sulfurous doom!
Think about it.
You’re more than fat, right? Your body has muscles and bones, right?
Well, scales don’t care about that! They’ll tell you just how much you weigh, water weight and all! Heck, I could drink a gallon of water and immediately INCREASE my weight 2.2 pounds…but after it happily departs my body, those 2.2 pounds will be as though they never existed.
But…if I had weighed myself after drinking, just think how depressed I’d be!
SCALES ARE EVIL. SCALES ARE MORE devastating to weight loss than 73 pounds of utterly delectable white chocolate covered macadamia nuts!
And I’m not the only person who has come to this rather common-sense observation. Check out these postings: Read more »

What Diet Pill Pushers DON’T Want You To Know
Morning!
So…have you ever heard of diet pills? You know, those miracle thingees that make the sun shine brighter and the rain wash cleaner and the air smell fresher and oh yes, helps you drop big bleeping amounts of weight?
Did you know they’re all a scam?
Sad, alas, but true.
Diet pills are one of the ultimate tools of "selling the dream". It seems like everyone can be tempted by a quick fix, as evidenced by what you currently see on eBay:
But the fact is - it’s ALL a scam. Every single bit of it. Acia berries, hoodia thingees, detox pills, you name it….it’s a scam.
Why?
Because of plain simple common sense, of course! Read more »
