Why do people buy popular and fraudulent diet programs?

The most popular diets have repeatedly shown themselves to be ineffective for most people for a period of more than a year. Gina Kolata of The New York Times wrote a book entitled "Rethinking Thin" in which she reviews the peer reviewed literature on the most popular diets. She found research studies of highly motivated subjects. All of the most popular diets failed, including: Medically supervised calorie restricted diets, Atkins diet, and Weight Watchers. None of these programs have peer reviewed studies that show much effectiveness for a period greater than one year.

Why do people continue to spend huge sums of money for programs that are destined to fail for the vast majority of people? Why aren’t the profiteers being held accountable?

By the way, some medically supervised high protein diets can be dangerous. Dr. T. Colin Campbell has shown the correlations between breast cancer, prostate cancer, and other cancers associated with casein (cow milk protein). Whey protein is commonly used in protein drinks. I lost a friend to cancer a few years after she had been on the medically supervised diet consisting of mostly vitamins and whey protein. Of course, she gained back the weight after the diet ended. She later was diagnosed with cancer and died at a young age.

Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Sr. wrote about "Surgeon’s Dilemma" and medical ethics.
Thank you KIRKUK for the detailed description related to cancer inception. T. Colin Campbell is a distinguished professor from Cornell who studied the affect of casein diet on laboratory rats and then conducted epidemiological studies with the help of Oxford, Cornell, and the Chinese government. After three decades of peer reviewed research he showed strong correlations between cow milk consumption and the growth of some forms of cancer. The lab work created small liver cancer tumors in rats using aflotoxin, and then fed one group a vegetarian diet, the other had standard protein feed from casein. The tumors in the vegetarian rats did not grow. The normal fed rats suffered a huge rate of tumor growth as every stage after inception of the tumor. They changed the feed midway on some animals and found that the tumors stopped their growth. You should read the following book:

"The China Study"

I think you will find the data convincing. He explains the theory behind why casein protein is l

I need a pro-ana or restrictive diet website that preferably has people that I can get in touch with for accountability and advice.

There’s one called PROTHINSPO which is pretty popular but I don’t see any contact info on the page and I really need someone to talk to.

So help!
Also, if anyone who sees this question thinks they may be able to help me out then lets exchange emails and get in touch about it!
Thank you in advance,
Sarah

Me and my boyfriend have decided to try taking diet pills, at first I was considering Trimspa but I researched and found that Apidexin is a popular diet pill. My boyfriend is going to get the hydroxicut but I have not decided yet, just wondering the opinion of others on the Apidexin. Does it really work? Is it worth the money? Please don’t answer this question telling me to forget the diet pills and try excersise. THANK YOU!

Diet: Not eating after a certain time…? * Sinep?

I heard a story about a woman who ate whatever she wanted, but nothing at all after 3PM and lost a ton of weight and kept it off, I was just wondering if anyone knows whether this would truly work?

It was on TV, I mean, no one makes money off of selling anything or any plan cause it’s so simple so I’m sure it’s not too popular. I even tried looking this up on google and came up blank.

Thanks!

Workout & Diet for Specific Body Type

I’m a thirty-year old male with an ectomorphic body type weighing between 125 & 130 lbs. I’ve been working out for four years trying to develop muscle definition, but with little success. Most popular workout routines & diet plans are for losing weight. A trainer had once told me to eat more to gain muscle mass, but after quite some time following his advice I seemed to gain fat on my gut! When I tried eating less, I lost some of the fat but so did my bulk. Are there any workout routines & diet plans specifically for my body type to achieve the right muscle definition (i.e. a well-sculpted body with 6-pack abs)?

Many girls (including me) believe that guys do really like thin girls. We torture ourselves with different diets, go to gyms million times a week. But from what I observe in the streets….I see a lot of couples where guys are really slim, but girls are quite say big. And it does not disturb them. Maybe I am wrong? And stick-thin girls are noe that popular. What do you think? How should an attractive girl look like?

Doubling the grapefruit diet?

Pritikin Recipes

For those of you who do not know, the grapefruit diet was quite popular in the 80′s but scientists discarded the idea and told everyone that it was a fad. Today, researchers have discovered that the grapefruit diet actually works.

They say that if you eat a grapefruit with every meal, it helps to burn some calories as well as help decrease hunger.

In 12 weeks, people who ate the grapefruit lost on average 3.6 lbs. People who drank the juice lost 3.3 lbs.

My question is, if you double the servings, will u lose the weight in half the time?
How much grapefruit can you drink/eat before overdosing on vitamin C?
