Post: Anorexic "Tips" from the Biggest Loser

This was the first piece I've read by Charlotte Hilton Andersen, and I want to share it here. I looked at some of her other entries and I can't wait to read them all. According to her bio on the site, "Charlotte runs the popular health and fitness site The Great Fitness Experiment. She was featured on ABC's 20/20 and interviewed on Fox's Morning Show with Mike & Juliette. Her writing can be found on the Washington Post online, Fox News online, LiveStrong, and iVillage as well as many other health, fitness and body image sites."

Anorexic "Tips" from the Biggest Loser

Today is Love Your Body Day

Thank you, Bamagal for the heads up on your Kimkins Review blog, and for the link to the Love Your Body website.

Overall women are dissatisfied with their bodies - 80% of us. It's what makes it so easy for Kimkins and other diet websites to get a toe hold! They prey on that dissatisfaction.

Pledge to love your body today! What will YOU do to feed your body and your soul?

So little to say... but go read these posts!

I am totally out of writing mojo, even about Kimkins these days. The latest on the Kimkins lawsuit is that the 3rd deposition of Heidi Diaz has been completed and went well, and the 3rd amended compliant has been filed. If you have never read the complaint, you should. Lots of evidence presented in a manner that is very clear.

Here are some blog posts that caught my eye recently. They all write better than I do anyway. Enjoy!

Pregorexic: Are Some Pregnant Women Putting Their Fetuses at Risk?

Part of the outrage over the Kimkins diet has been the way members and staff push themselves and each other to eat less and less, starving off the weight. This news story isn't about Kimkins, but there have been many examples of Kimkins members who want to do the diet while pregnant, or find themselves unable to stop the diet when they become pregnant. Pregnancy is absolutely the worst time to be starving your body - and your baby!

Exercise in a PILL? What do you think about that?

Could a pill replace exercise?

Pill turns mice into chariots of fire

Exercise pill is better than a workout

This article says, "The drug works by by tapping into the molecular pathways that normally reprogram muscle in response to exercise. "

Would you take it? Would you trust it? Should insurance cover it? Should scientists be working on this?
