The library's and book shops are full of them. Diet Books if you are a celebrity down on work you either lose weight and do an exercise Video, or write a diet book about how you lost the pounds the more outlandish the better.
There are people out there with little medical knowledge dreaming up new diets at this moment.
How about eat anything you dam well like and still loose weight diet,
We must be a suckers to even read all this Guff
When I cure my diabetes though, be sure to watch out for my 10 week postal course with a money back guarantee, Just think of all the money you will save on Doctors visits.

This is the time of year when women are bombarded with celebrity advice on what they could and should be eating.
But the fad for only the very healthiest food could be putting many dieters at risk of severely damaging their physical and mental health, scientists have warned.
Experts are reporting a rise in a mental illness called orthorexia nervosa.
Nutritionists highlight elebrity fads such as the blood group diet, which is favoured by Cheryl Cole (right) and the Maple Syrup detox diet, used by Beyonce (left)
Those who develop the disorder are worrying so much about the purity of what they eat that they are denying themselves entire food groups.
Nutritionists highlight celebrity fads such as the blood group diet, which is favoured by Cheryl Cole, and the Maple Syrup detox diet, used by Beyonce and Naomi Campbell.
Orthorexia tends to affect middle-class women in their 30s.
While those with anorexia restrict the quantity of what they eat, those with orthorexia are obsessed with quality and can end up eliminating items such as salt, sugar, caffeine, alcohol, wheat, gluten, yeast, soya and dairy products from their diet entirely.
Foods that may contain artificial additives such as MSG or pesticide residues are also rejected.
Adherence to such rigid rules can also mean those with the condition will refuse to eat out at restaurants or at friends’ homes, putting a strain on relationships.
Cutting out entire food groups is likely to lead to serious illness, warn nutritionists – but they point out how an ‘onslaught’ of advice from celebrities, particularly in the New Year, frightens women into going down the path to orthorexia.
Lucy Jones of the British Dietetic Association said: ‘Every day there are new pieces of advice on how to eat healthier.
‘Orthorexia is most in line with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. The aim may not to be thin – it’s about the quality of food.’ She said ‘no food should be written off completely’ and it was OK to eat an ‘occasional piece of crap food’.
Supporters of the blood group diet claim that those with different blood groups break down food in different ways and should eat different foods.
Those on the maple syrup diet consume little else but sugary water. This has none of the protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals needed to remain healthy.
Psychologist Anjula Mutanda said the pride with which those with orthorexic tendencies speak about their diets was worrying. She said: ‘Anorexic people are secretive whereas orthorexics can become superior – evangelical almost.
‘What we are bombarded with is the idea of good and bad food. People need an education in normal eating.’

At least no one's bought me One
Lesa, yes you can be the head chef, with my supervision of course. Once we start making a profit, your starting take will be $100,000 as Richard indicated. But be sure to call your contact at the TIMES so we will have good exposure. As supervisor, I will certainly want to know what menus you are planning. And be sure to hire helpers who are clean, fast and good.
I suggest we open our first restaurant in an area of NY where there are older residents like Riverside Drive. There they have wealthy retirees and the older the better because there will be more diabetics. If we open in a prime area, you will find youth and the youth in these areas are thin - called hippies.
Opinions, please.
I look forward to your input on our menu items. It has to be good food and I'll insist our kitchen workers are clean, speedy, and know their stuff.(otherwise I'll have to work my tail off!)
I wish we could really do this....
Banning the Hippies and sounding like good ol, boys from the backwoods.
The New Yorkers will be calling us Rednecks Up from Down South.
We got to create the correct image
Don't ya all just agree "Miss Arline".
Lesa, there used to be a vegetarian restaurant on the upper east side that was mobbed all the time, You'd never know everything was made from veggies. Great food and I suggest we start there.
All the old hippies are from the late 60s early 70s Thats when all the Punks too over
Maybe if we had an old hippie night with everyone wearing their old beads and flower shirts and sandals
I bet if I put an ad in the New York Times offering a $100 for an old diabetic hippie to register for our restaurant I'd get a whole load of replies.
Now if your talking about Punks We'll id agree We can't lower standards to admit that
"Ghastly lot".
Any how a good meal will do them the world of good We could have a Feed an ol Hippie day
and get Mayor Bloom,,,,,, whatever his name is to sponsor it
instead of whining on about smoking.
Remember most new Restaurants close within the 1st year
We don't want to start preparing closure before we open
Maybe we could invite some of the Hollywood crowd
Clark Gable & Douglas Fairbanks could come to the Grand Opening.
and maybe Mae West to spice things up a Bit
I think lost may be onto something :-]
