  1. requiem for a dream anyone?
  2. I have the easiest way to loose weight! GO TO THE MOON!!
  3. I got a "weight loss for men over 40" ad on this video
  4. Heya, The best fat loss that I have ever had was with Janes magic plan (i found it on google) Without a doubt the most helpful diet that I have ever tried.
  5. for once you actually got a video correct! congrats! thanks vox for getting one topic correct. except even what dr.oz said at the end there isn't technically correct
  6. His medicine is placebo, if they believe you whole heartedly, then they may intact have placebo help them. However, once someone is aware of a placebo, it no longer works.
  7. He's a fraud. A snake oil salesman in league with the highest bidders to fool the gullible public.
  8. This video has good advice, but I am not sure about the best diet plan which i need to work with, only because I have never used any. Anybody tried the Fenoboci Diet Plan? I've noticed many folks refer to extraordinary things about Fenoboci Diet Plan.
  9. He is a muslim, they are allowed to lie.
  10. so Dr. Oz recommends being vegan? "a healthy diet should be food that comes out of the ground, and looking the way it looks when you eat it"
  11. When it comes to eating healthy, you have to never fall victim to modern day fad diet plans. Extreme diet plans are a risk for your health, especially ones that seriously limit your every day nutritional intake. Many of these fad diets work for a short period and then the benefits decrease after a while. You should check out Fenoboci Diet Plan on google as it isn't just another fad diet where you starve yourself.
  12. If you want to shed pounds, you should search Fenoboci Diet Plan on google. They'll help you get the shape you need.
  13. Not only did this help me lose weight effectively, this also helped me do things that I've wanted to for a long time. Since I became fit and this tea gave me energy, I was able to do hiking. It has always been my dream to do that and now I'm living the dream...all thanks to Weight loss green store tea.
  14. Metabolism booster: Mexican food. It burns calories and goes through you faster than a kartrashian through plastic surgery
  15. Come to think of it, wouldn't medical induced coma help one lose weight? That is, while the overweight patient is in coma, feed only necessary nutrients into the body thru a tube for a mth to reset the habit of overeating. If it were possible, the patient has to stick to not over-eating again when he/she wakes of course. There are probably high risks to do this in real life. I wonder if any researcher tested this yet.
  16. He should pay for misleading people. Is he a real medical doctor?
  17. Reminds me of the Requiem for a dream TV guy haha JUICE!
  18. I've discovered a real metabolism booster - you can literally increase the amount of calories you burn in a day, or burn in a workout by using this booster - the secret is.....(drum roll)....stop eating refined sugar, liquid invert sugar, corn sugar - just about every kind of processed sugar or foods containing significant amounts of these sugars and you'll actually end up with a higher ratio of calories burned vs calories eaten!
  19. 2,4-dinitrophenol is a fat-buster in a bottle. Somewhat deadly, but it does exist.
  20. supplements and vitamins are bullshit
