Anyone else see these stupid commercials? "Just replace 2 meals a day with a bowl of Special K w/ berries, and you'll lose 6 pounds in 2 weeks". Imagine that, if I starve myself 2/3 meals a day, I'll lose weight?!?!?! How odd! This is right up there w/ the "Eat no food, just drink this jug of juice and you'll lose 5 pounds over the weekend!" diet.

It's the same way Slim-Fast works. "Replace 2 meals a day...with a fvcking milkshake!" People think "oh, it's amazing, you drink chocolate and lose weight!" Well duh, cause all you ingest is a shake instead of any actual food.

Is that the diet where you keep yourself doped up on horse tranquilizers all the time so you don't have the will to eat anything?

;) :D

I noticed that too. Hell, replace two meals a day with one and anyone will lose weight. Wish I'd thought of that. ;)

i dont see how special k would make you lose weight, i mean if you combine it with milk it's a very high fat/high carb meal..

LMAO... yeah... the concept of loosing weight is quite simple, you eat less calories than you expend, nobody has to be a rocket scientist to understand that...

Easy ways out? nope, there are none, you just have to eat less calories than you expend... there is no other way, not with clenbuterol, not with salmeterol, not with any other drug...

You are stuck with that fact...

So do use use any liquid w/ your cereal like beer or something, or just dry? I'm just curious.
