[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, MS Sans Serif]Nutritionists say the syrup does not contain sufficient nutrients and dieters could end up in hospital if they use it for more than few days. [/FONT]




Love the "Do as I say, not as I do" mentality, even though she's certainly espousing a good message by recommending people eat healthy as a lifestyle rather than do a crash diet. I would love to know who the moron was that developed a diet based on drinking maple syrup 10 times a day, though. That's the dumbest diet I've heard of, yet.

...not a thread i would have predicted you making, jag.


thanks for keeping me on my toes.

 

[JLBats]

I could go for some maple syrup ladyboner right about now.

 

[Garbage Man]

I'm Canadian, so I drink maple syrup 10 times a day on a regular basis. It is delicious!

I'm very health conscious, you know. Seeing that someone actually made a diet out of maple syrup just CRIED "Make a thread out of this!".

I really must applaud Beyonce for trying to break stereotypes and tell girls to be happen to have a womanly figure. It's rare that a celebrity of her stature and sex appeal has the courage to say it's alright to have a curvaceous body.

thats stupid. just nothing but maple syrup and that other stuff. wouldn't you get sick though.

I actually feel ill just thinking about the ingredients of that concoction.

 

[R_9]

That diet is crazy, how do they come up with such crappy things???

 

[Carter]

Well, nobody likes a porker.

I'm really starting to wonder since when women found it wrong to have a curvaceous body. I mean, that's what women are usually depicted as. Curvaceous.

yeah, curvy=hot.

 

[Carter]

Let it be known that curvaceous does not mean "fat".

 

[R_9]

This is NOT curvy.

Everyone in my office tried this frickin' diet, including my boss's husband. What a crock of *****. It's also known as the lemonade diet, the syrup is just to make it palatable. It's starving yourself, plain and simple; that's not a diet. As for its detoxifying effects, I can't say, but I'm highly dubious. Supposedly, once you start eating normal foods again, you're "cleansed" and won't gain the weight back...as long as you aren't eating McDonalds or something.

 

[Carter]

I have a fantastic diet plan that works every time:

Eat less

Anything that pumps your body full of that much sugar isn't detoxifying in the least.

Whoever associates those 2 as synonyms are idiots.

Well, not recently and by Hollywood standards. I live in a small, armpit of a city and the estimation is that if you aren't a size 2, you don't matter.

Fat girls do it all the time

or once you eat it you can go stick your finger dow nyour throat.

you mean just like when a fat person says i'm not fat i'm just big boned.

 

[Knightsaber Priss]

You know, I don't know what you guys call fat, but as far as curvy goes, I think this image of Sharon Den Adel from the Dutch symphonic Metal Group Within Temptation is an example of a healthy, curvaceous, female.
