I hate to be so blunt, but thats wins the "stupid reply of the day" award.

Just because you havn't tried something doesn't mean that comman sence is less effective. I havn't tried drugs or alcohol, does that mean that my belief that those things are bad for your body is wrong?? Absolutely not.

The KEY of long term weight loss...and thats what we are all here for, no? the KEY to it is having a "diet" that you CAN continue on for LIFE. It has been prooven time and time again that fad diets DO NOT work LONG TERM. Period. I know you've been doing this diet for a whopping 9 pds now and thats great. But I think the YEARS of successful weight loss that Mal has achieved certainly gives her some grounds for her opinion...weither she's tried the diet or not.
