Jillian Michaels and her Magic Pills
Posted on January 29, 2010 - Filed Under Fad Diets, Weight Control | View Comments
I saw this product at Walgreens a few days ago. Jillian Michaels on the cover and here’s what the product promises:
“Two capsules before main meals and you lose weight… That’s it!”
“Helps reduce caloric intake.”
“High energy formula fights diet fatigue.”
With Jillian Michaels on the cover, it must really work, right? Doubtful.
First, as we all know, no [...]

This was our dinner from a couple of nights ago. Grilled chicken, broccoli, and sweet potatoes has to be one of my favorite food combinations. Anyway, I realized today (after a reporter from the NY Times wanted to talk to me about the photo food journal concept) that I never wrote a recap post about [...]

Well, looks like we found the answer to our health problems. Wow, Zantrex-3 promises rapid weight loss, incredible energy, and everything a person could ever want, right? Nope.
