If the White House can cut the fat, so can you!


The online revolution explodes causing a cyberdiet craze

By Jessica Jones

Does this dress make my butt look big?
Are my hips too wide?
Gosh, my arms are really flabby...
How do I get rid of these cottage cheese thighs?
I can't wear this shirt! My chest is huge!

This sounds like typical female talk, right? We all think we're fat, even if we look good. Most women are concerned about their shape or figure and blame it on fat, which we try desperately to get rid of.

But women aren't the only ones. Men need to keep in shape too, but it can be difficult finding the right program or method of losing weight, keeping it off, and staying fit.

And there are so many methods to choose from.

Dexatrim, along with many other pills that aid in weight loss, is at Safeway, Wal-Mart, Rite Aid and Raley's. Take one pill in the morning with a full glass of water and the hunger is suppressed. Lose weight, feel great, right?

Wrong.

People can't take these pills forever. They're supposed to train us to eat less so we can stop taking the pill and continue to not eat.

For example, last night I had an eighth of a bagel, a raisin, two bites of my roommate's turkey sandwich -- hold the mayo-- a Wheat Thin and three grapes. 

Gosh, was I full.

OK, so maybe that would make someone using Dexatrim full. But where are the nutrients? Believe it or not, people do this to themselves without the aid of an appetite suppressant. Skinny is in, and the methods by which we get ourselves there are unhealthy.

The best diet is a change in lifestyle. A more-exercise-and-more-healthy-foods change in lifestyle to be more specific.

Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig have been around for years, supplying the support and planning needed to get people on their way to better bodies. But now, with the online revolution making its way into the homes of many, diet programs are exploding throughout the Internet.
