Lose 9 Pounds Every 11 Days and Other Myths

I just visited a site with that promise and it began by saying, "Weight Loss for Idiots." I don't know about you but I object to being called an idiot.

This site proclaims that every "diet" from low calorie to low carb and everything in between doesn't work. Have they never heard of starving to death? You can't get more low calorie than that, and it indeed does cause weight loss. Permanent weight loss in the form of death, but permanent none the less.

The FDA is finally cracking down on bogus weight loss claims and losing 9 pounds every 11 days is a prime target. You cannot lose weight that fast, and you certainly cannot continue it, yet their title claims you can.

I smell a rat, and it doesn't taste like chicken. Run, don't walk, away from bogus weight loss claims.

I totally agree with you on the diet claim. However, I have two members of my upcoming bridal party using this plan and both of them have lost more 15 and 16 pounds respectively in the first two weeks. I am still leery, and focusing on portions, calories, cardio and weight training, but with these results, more of my bridal party is joining this diet. so...who know?

No one's saying you can't rapidly lose weight on these ridiculous diet plans; the point is, it's temporary. If you only mean to be thin for the wedding, go for it, but if you want to lose weight and keep it off, you want to try something else like changing some of your regular habits.

It's okay to use a fad diet for a quick weight loss (to fit into that special dress for instance), just don't expect it to be a lasting weight loss :-)

I wish you the best with your upcoming wedding and keep doing what you are doing and you'll reach your goal of better health, i.e. watching portions (which takes care of the calories), and doing cardio and weight training.
