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.’

I must take a nap and I have a 9 am tee time tomorrow :-]
unfortunately I cannot spare the time,I have designers in re-storing my London House.
and there is a problem with the renovation of my Scottish Castle, I may need to come over to see Don and ask his advice on some of my old Scottish Estates .
By the way Richard does the company have any residences in the Bahamas, The docs say I should have a good Holiday and maybe a spot of Sea Fishing and its too Dam Cold over here
As you know I always have the company jet ready for Take Off Since I sacked the Butler I just can't seem to get anything done!
Its a little small by our standards only 8,000 sq.feet but, it has a pool ,sauna and a tennis court.
Lost I sympathize with you,good help is so very hard to find.
also he was hitting the Bottle. even drunk my $1,000
châteaux de file French wine and swore blind it was the cook,
I hear the USA has some good well trained Butlers nowadays
Yes the apartment seems idea I must visit soon I though maybe the Dakota over looking Central park would be good
I will have to go now my man has just run the bath and says the temprature is just as I like it
He has laid out my Brioni Suit as I am off to the Savoy grill for lunch
hope the meal does not have too many of those Carbo type's
Toodle pip old boy
old ( Anna Nicole) residence.
The pressures of being a CEO had just taken their toll.
Lost, how do you know so much about New York ?
We have been brainstorming (a term i use loosely) for a name and location
What are your thoughts on the following names?
I kinda like Mo's Diabetic Deli but i'm a CEO I don't have to know anything :-))
Gourmet Diabetic Solutions
Mo;s diabetic Deli
The Diabetic Gastro Depot
Garden of Eat'n For Diabetic Diners
Lettuce Daibetics Eat
What about The Diabetic Garden of Eat'n"
Who's we and who chose you as CEO???
Location could be Italy, France, USA, but I think the richest are in Switzerland.
One of our original member is sadly no longer on here.
Switzerland has too many rules and regulations and not a huge diabetic population.
New York has many good locations and maybe my pal Don T could cut us a good property deal
I am in London but unfortunately Concord is no longer available so my days of jetting over to NY for lunch and home by supper are over.
We need to invent a machine which will remove most of the carbs from bread and potatoes
I think our CEO has got scientists working on it
Once we get this all up and running we will be able to Rock and Roll
our treasurer has been banned for some reason so we have no one keeping track of the money
so a new appointment is due
Any one wanting to apply should contact Chesty! ( no former Bankers or Bernie's please).
Ok - we will scratch Switzerland and maybe Italy, too. Pasta is prevalent there so we would have a problem.
New York might be the answer. The city has so many varieties of food that a diabetic restaurant would be welcome.
If everyone agrees, I will be the Treasurer and Head Chef (among other responsibilities) AND someone has to make sure Chesty is an honest CEO because there are a lot of dishonest ones around and just sit around collect millions.
as I remember our last Treasurer also went to school with Bernie,
makes you wonder, anyhow we need a good accountant who we can trust to write all the cheques
pay all the bills and taxes and not expect big bonuses.
I think our last end of year report indicated we had around $3.7million sloshing around all this from our anonymous benefactor. ( don;t tell the taxman)
I mean why does Don keep building Towers. Or Bill and Bell start foundations.
Ya put it in the Bank and some Schmuck like Bernie makes off with it all.
If you became the accountant You could Hire out a Yacht for $ 1/2 a million and claim it back on expenses
We could all have a Trip to the Bahamas
What do you think Must be the best job offer out there
