Weight Loss Silliness

Quick haiku that came from another nonsense email–

If you do not trust
Random safflower capsules
to shrink you — wisdom!

Nutrisystem, Noom, Dr. Oz, the Apple Cider Diet, Weight Watchers, the South Beach Diet, the Flat Belly Diet, the Keto Diet, the Dukan Diet, or just old fashioned Slim-fast, diets seem to be everywhere. Jenny Craig’s even still out there. I recommend avoiding ketosis and trickery to lose weight, but some of these diets work perfectly well. Again and again and again, they work.

I thought I’d post a truth we all know in our bones: Magic may be real, but magic diets are purest fantasy. Anyone who promises painless, effortless weight loss is lying. And who knows what’s in those weird, yellow capsules?

I will recommend phone apps. “Lose It!” does work. “MyPlate” is another winner. Check out the apps before you commit, though, because some work better with your Fitbit or Apple Watch than others.

Biojar observation for today: Magic herbs should only be used by people who were at the tip-top of their potions class. Harry Potter’s Devil’s Snare, Bubotuber, and Snargaluff are almost certainly at least as effective as safflower capsules, and by virtue of not existing are much cheaper too. Want a magic weight loss tool? I recommend walking while carrying a heavy latte to use as a weight. You can make the latte skim or almond milk if you choose, provided those choices don’t take your cup too far down any personal deliciousness scale.

Zombie phrase for the day: I want to find the chicken farm. Ahhhhh waahhhdddd aydddduhhh dihhguhhn ahhrrrbbb.
