The 5 bite diet...why haven't I heard about this before.....

Maybe I wouldn't go for RNY.  It is suppose to have the same effects as RNY but without the surgery.  NOT!!!!!!  I am appaulded at some of the fad diets out there and why some doctors would think such dangerous diets would be healthy.

http://www.theslimmingstation.com/about_the_program.php And you are suppose to skip breakfast!?!?!?  This is insane!!  just reading some of the stuff they wrote on there is dangerous.  I did the Calculator.  It said i should be at 144 for 6'2!!!  In high school I was 175 @ 6'2.  The perfect  wieght for my height.  Well within the range.  I was on the crew team, and left the crew team because my coach wanted me to lose 25 more lbs.  I knew that would be very unhealthy for my body.  So I joined the basketball team. hehe.  I was appreciated there. 

This blog breaks it down and address what it can do to your body: http://fittipdaily.wordpress.com/2008/02/16/the-5-bite-diet/

you know what is bad???   I went to the website, saw the burger and immediately just wanted to go get it and see how much i could eat in just 5 bites.....   i seriously need some help!  lol the book is 25 dollars, but i bet if you went to half dot com you might find it for less..... seriously.   it looks like a scam though.     diet and excercise combined is still the best bet.... but for us... we needed another tool.....  wls.  if you can have that and then do the diet/excercise/wls and continued support for life...  it will work.     now.... if only i could practice what i preach.... :) Jill

I know they have all these crzy foods on there.  What also gets me.  I was curious what was going on in the forum....you have to join and it cost $50 a year!!!! WOW! 

goodness me, that doesn't sound healthy at all.  Even worse is the subscription style dieting.  You can't get infomation until after you pay.  There's probably some pathetic person behind all this making the big bucks off people in desperation to lose weight. Good researching to find that pro and cons blog!

Good am  Melissa, I'm sticking with the old adage "if it sounds too good to be true you can bet it IS too good to be true." So sad the things folks push on mainstream society as being "a good thing." Thanks for sharing this with us. All best!
