Hello again :)

Anybody here ever watch Dr. Phil? He seems to me the kind of guy that is just a tell it like it is, no fooling around kind of guy right? Well, I work at a drug store and we now have new "Dr. Phil" diet food(bars and shakes and such). He didn't seem like the type of person to go that route. He also has an article in this weeks TV guide(which I read some of...can only read so much when you are supposed to be working LOL) They ask him what he thinks of the Atkins diet and he says that he could tell you to eat oranges for 3 weeks and you would lose weight,but that wasn't the issue. He says that for those who want his help they have to stick to his plan by reading his book and then he has the "diet"food. Isn't he being a bit hipocritical? What do you think?

I myself don't "diet". Just gotta watch how much I eat :) and exercise. Gotta have cheesecake, just not a whole one at one time *g*

**I sure agree there rz! I didn't know he'd gone that route. I distrust most *diets*. The weight comes off but from many I've seen, then goes back on.

I think it really is a lifestyle change rather than a fad diet.

Just my 2 cents. :)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Another diet plan! When is the world going to learn that no plan is universal? Because when everyone becomes hip to THAT fact there will be no need for a Dr. Phil plan, or any other plan. We just need to pay attention to our bodies - what mood we are in when we are eating, what foods do we crave more when we gain weight, what foods give us energy, make us tired, etc. I have never struggled with my weight, so it may seem that I don't have the right to an opinion here, but I have taken drastic steps in changing my diet to make me healthier and give me more energy. Everyone's body has its own healthy perfection and therefore requires different nourishment to keep it going. It's like saying that a sport sedan requires the same oil as an SUV - that's stupid. If we can listen to what our BODIES want and not our HEADS we'll be a healthier America. (*stepping off soap box*)

**So true ..

We all must find what works for ourselves ..

Also knowing it is a lifestyle change more than anything else .. JMHO of course :)
