Commercial for CentriLean diet pills:
Lady on commercial - "Do you love food so much that you can't eat less? Do you hate the thought of excersize? Normally, I would tell you to change your lifestyle as soon as possible....
But not anymore! Now with our new revolutionary suppliment, you can lose weight, by doing NOTHING!"
Here's the caption at the bottom that they don't want you to see:
*INDIVIDUAL RESULTS VARY. FOR MAXIMUM WEIGHT LOSS, DIET AND EXERCISE ARE ADVISED. AVERAGE OVER 8 WEEK UNIVERSITY STUDY WAS 3.43 LBS AND APPROXIMATELY 1 PANT OR DRESS SIZE. THESE STATEMENTS HAVE NOT BEEN EVALUATED BY THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION. THIS PRODUCT IS NOT INTENDED TO DIAGNOSE, TREAT, CURE OR PREVENT ANY DISEASE.
So, let's cut to the chase, let's not beat around the bush and sugar coat what's being said.
DO NOTHING, don't bother getting healthy. Don't work your heart muscle, which is the most important muscle in your body. Don't eat well, and fill your body with all the vitamins and nutrients it needs. Eat whatever you want, and, eat as much as you want. If food is a god in your life, so what. If laziness rules over your days, so what.
Do all this and we can barely guarantee you these results:
In 8 weeks, which is two whole months, you can lose nearly 4 pounds. FOUR pounds.....in 2 months...... (Which is probably less than what you could lose in ONE week if you were eating healthy and in moderation and excersizing)
Note, they tell you to do nothing, but also tell you in the fine print that if you do nothing, you will not get desired results.
People!! Eat WELL, live WELL, get some excersize, say no to the second helping, stop eating crap like fast and fried foods (or only eat them once in a while), cut down on your sugar.....and guess what, you will lost weight. It's not rocket science! There are no quick fixes, it takes work. And it's hard work, no doubt about that! There are no pills or even programs out there that will change you without you having to walk in change. It took one step in front of the other to get to where you are, and it will take one step in front of the other in the opposite direction to get to where you want to be.
It saddens me to see on so many commercials, billboards and magazines, the reality that we live in a quick fix society, that doesn't care about out character, it cares about our comfort and outter shell.
Phew.....there, that's it.

Those things make me kinda sad too but only because I used to take something like them when I was anorexic. And isn't it healthy to lose 2 lbs a week?
ReplyDeleteWOWNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletethat was AWESOME! i totally loved how you wrote all of that!
YES YES AND YES to everything you said! The last line that says, "the reality that we live in a quick fix society, that doesn't care about out character, it cares about our comfort and outter shell."
How shallow and how sadly true how our world has come to this.
Walk in wisdom and self control and God will bless you. It's the law of sowing and reaping. If you sow into flesh...no wonder our flesh just keeps getting BIGGER AND BIGGER! It's a physical picture of a spiritual truth that we are all about living in the flesh.
It's time to walk in the spirit.
YA NIN!
I thought it was intersting that you saai, lets not sugar coat this. That was a great play on words!
