This'll kill overweight people

This isn't for someone wanting to lose weight.. Is for someone who's already fit. The game goes way too fast.. There doesn't seem to be a difficulty setting. Trying rivals again and Zumba seems good. I only rated it to because of the corny acting

After reading Mr Clarence Wilson's review I decided to buy 4 of these 1 each for myself, my wife and two youngest daughters. A few days after we got them (ahead of the shipping estimate) I decided to try it out and make sure I was giving them something that would get the job done.  After having used this on myself I can say this will dissuade most anyone with any common sense, I am 6' 1" 290 pounds and this thing hurts if you hit someone with this and they persist it may be time to consider a less P.C. option.

I would never buy any more of this.  I am convinced it is the reason I got type 2 diabetes from the weight gain of using too much of
this.  Fat blocks the cells from absorbing insulin and I thought this product was a healthy choice'  WRONG.  I guess the people
promoting this coconut oil on the internet have no conscience regarding truth.  If you not over weight and don't use too much, it's
probably okay but in my case, I was misled.

Hype aside, obesity IS a real problem. Not only in America, but now worldwide as the SAD (Standard American Diet) is quickly spreading throughout the world through... yes, the fast food business.

Yes, everyone must take responsibility for their own actions and what they eat. And yes, maybe a few statistics may be off. These really don't matter because the point is that this book brings attention to the "problem" and causes people to reconsider their lifestyle choices. Isn't that the goal?

Those that scream anti-capitalism and complain about flawed statistics are blowing smoke. Are they saying being overweight or obese is good for you? Are they saying fast food is good for you? Are they saying people don't die from obesity? Are they saying that the fast food business spreading worldwide is not a contributor to the ballooning obesity epedemic? C'mon, they're just whining. McDonald's Corp sure isn't a model citizen, what's wrong with pointing it out?

The facts are facts, fast food isn't good for you, no matter how you slice it, dice it or serve it. The study indicating that an overwhelming number of nutritionists and dieticians recommend eating fast food only once a month is proof. Being overweight or obese is not healthy, no matter how you look at it. This book brings attention to an epidemic (in a very energetic and easy to understand way) and offers solutions, especially through the school lunch program examples outlined -- they're awesome. Keep it up schools!

I enjoyed Morgan's "enthusiasm" for bringing the obesity epidemic and one of it's main causes, fast food, to light. Grab a copy and share it with your family and friends.

I hope this is a good prediction for late life and terminally ill  patients.  Needless suffering and expense need to come to an end!

This is the worst case of religious fanaticism I've ever seen, and I've seen my share. People can live on light, but it's a lot more complicated then this person who has changed her name to something both difficult to spell and pronouce that I'm not going to bother looking up.
We need, to stay healthy,  most prominently Carbohydrates for energy, water and mineral for chemical balance, protein for tissue, calcium for bone, and keratein for hair and nails. Fats, as a backup supply. Oxygen serves it's role to convert the carbohydrates into energy require to, at the base level, reproduce and eat. We can live with some shortages, but it would result exhaustion, illness, weakness, easily broken bones, hair loss, and asphyxiation.
If someone followed this plan, and didn't eat, it would be like trying to light a fire in a pile of ash. the flame would burn weakly, and eventually snuff itself out. Eating is stoking the fire or your life. (On a side note, eating unhealthily in this metaphor is like burning tyres...) Eat three balanced meals of these main food groups, and none to excess, and you will drastically improve your quality of health. There are charts that show the proper serving sizes. All weight-loss programs are unhealthy in their own way. If you are unable to get a weight you would like while on a healthy diet, then you had better not try to lose any more. That is what you need.
If someone followed this plan and didn't drink, they would die from the concertration of normally harmless body byproducts in the liver and kidneys, and they couldn't be flushhed out. Drink 8 cups of water daily for optimum efficiency. In other words, to stay as healthy as you can.
By the way, humans aren't made simply. They need MUCH more than fats, carbohydrates, water, protein, keratein, oxygen, and calcium. Vitamins and minerals are critcal to more minor processes needed for good health. You can leave decently, even well, with shortages of many of these, but if you are able to keep them balanced, you will enjoy nearly perfect life. This is the key to immortality. Luckily, it's impossible to balance these precisely without living in a laboratory your entire life, so everyone will pass in their own time.
There is one fatal flaw with the plan I have described. If you do not exercise, the impressive chemical masterpiece the well fed body is is useless without proper excercise, and will not function properly. Again, the human body is not designed for many things we do with it, like office jobs, television viewing, and computer gaming, and you should get as close as you can to emulating the enviroments our ancestors lived in. The ultimate way to do this is with competitive sports. Nothing will complete your healthy lifestyle like some regular exercises like soccer, tennis, football, and the like. Though expect your body to spend a lot of effort healing the damage you do to it if you pick the latter!
You should pick something fun, I don't see the draw people have for aerobics, or other gym exercises. But to each his own.
But PLEASE... Don't ruin your lives by using this brand of alternative medicine... I would say that it is an insult to God, who gave us such marvelously built bodies. Haha, I also suggest you steer clear of conventional over the counter drugs as well unless you're genuinely sick. They have very nasty side effects, as they sacrifice part of your body's equillibrium for the desired effect.
Yes, I must add this final note. ALL medicine is unhealthy, from heroin to nicotine to tylenol. It will hurt you as much as it helps, guarenteed. Though, believe it or not, drinking one beer a day should help lower your chances of a heart attack... However, excess could make it far more likely.
This person is not an idiot for making this stuff, she's just buying in on stealing the 'worldly goods'... Both money and health... from gullible souls. Even if she does mean it as a joke, it's a sick one. Everyone else who has bothered to read this far: Good on you. I hope I just gave you a few more years, that would make me very happy.

I followed this diet for 8-1/2 months and it is the WORST decision I ever made!!  I kept at it, thinking that at anytime I would start reaping the 'benefits' espoused in the book - it never happened!  I gained 22 pounds and my arthritis became unbearable!  I stopped and resumed my low-carb approach to eating and my body is beginning to respond positively!  I can only assume that the people who follow this way of eating just want everyone to be as miserable as they are!  Try at your own risk!

You have been warned! Not for everyday consumption. May only be consumed as occasional entertainment or as passive-aggressive revenge upon those within a six block radius.

This product could also be sold in the toys and games section of Amazon as a modern improvement upon the Whoopee Cushion. No longer is a cheap red rubber inflatable needed to play tricks upon one's cubicle mate! Just simply place a handsomely decorated basket of complimentary F.O. bars next to the Keurig machine. In the matter of one to two hours the room will be lit up with noxious firecrackers and you're coworkers will be clamoring for a stall in the restroom.

In all seriousness, I UNKNOWINGLY ate chicory root extract for months without realizing why I was suffering from endless misery. I thought something was  really wrong with me... a food allergy or Crohns or IBS. Then one day I stopped consuming it, and lo and behold, the dark cloud of wretched flatulence that had hung over me for months had disappeared!

Read your labels! This freaky, farty ingredient lurks in lots of so-called health foods.

If your ass is big, stay away from this seat. You won't like it.

People are still buying this because of its former reputation as a low-carb pasta.  It's time for those people to wake up.  It doesn't work the way that was claimed. Look up "Dreamfields lawsuit". There was a lawsuit settled in 2014.  Customers led by the claims on packages with "glycemic index" and/or "digestible carbs" got a little money.  Note the wording on the packages now.

Maybe, as the manufacturer claimed, the pasta is made in some patentable "matrix" - true or not, many tests were showing that this product hits your body the same way regular pasta does.

I cooked with this stuff for years.  Thousands, if not millions of us are really disappointed because we wanted this stuff to be our answer to enjoying pasta without spiking our blood sugar.  Too bad. Time to shift to soy noodles, Ciao Carb, Nutriwell or edamame "pasta" or shirataki or konjac noodles.  If you are diabetic, you understand the need to make changes, and this is a big and worthwhile one to free yourself from a habit happily developed, and now sadly discarded.

This is a poorly made product and a death trap. it is dangerous to use.

Why? Why would they make this in such a giant bag? Do you people not know I have weight standards that I have to meet? The fortunate...or not-so-fortunate...part is that eating too much of this at once will clean you out faster than a nuclear blast. I guess it's all of those protein-packed crunchy nuts...but either way, after a day with a Law & Order: SVU marathon, this bag had been devastated. I found out a short time later that the bag wasn't the only thing devastated. The massacre that occurred while I hovered precariously over the toilet was nothing short of a 'Friday the 13th' movie plot. The cacophony of sounds trumpeting from my posterior portions would have made Beethoven proud. The dog left the room. The cat has filed for disability. But alas, the massacre has ceased.

But I still have over half a bag left. The options are infinite.

Well, I purchased this item from Wal-Mart a few months ago, and well I just feel like I should warn any potential buyers. I was extremely EXCITED to inject my homemade teriyaki sauce (ask me for the recipe!!!) into my beef roll, BUT ran into a HUGE problem. I had the marinade all loaded up and was on my merry way injecting the meat when the injector slipped and stabbed me in the hand!! About 3mL of marinade was injected into my left hand, it hurt like a motherf#%$&@!!! My wife rushed me to the hospital where I sat for over 4 hours waiting to be seen. During this time, I became light-headed, nauseated, and eventually lost consciousness. Apparently my marinade is not meant for intravenous consumption. After regaining consciousness and having my hand thoroughly cleaned, I thought I was going to be fine. BUT I was wrong. 2 days later I became so sick with diarreah and vomiting, that I returned to the hospital only to find that e. coli had made its way into my bloodstream via the injector. This was the last straw. I told my wife to go home and destroy the injector, I did not want anything like this to happen again to anyone in my home! I told her to be "extra careful" while she was taking care of business.

I hope this is a good warning for anyone looking to buy this.

So may of us are eating ourselves to death. This system works for people to get a handle on their overeating. It's funny too, always a plus. I'm going to do it. Wil. Heck back

An expose of big food's crimes against humanity. They are poisoning us.  Close the FDA and USDA and start over.

This chair is advertised for big and tall people, and so that's what my review is going to be based off of.

I ordered this chair because my last chair was becoming uncomfortable for me due to my weight. I am attempting to lose weight, but in the mean time I still need a good chair. When looking for a chair, this seemed perfect due to it being a cheap gaming chair advertised for big and tall individuals. The reality is that this chair is not for big and tall people at all. The reason? You can see in the pictures that there's two curves on the side of the cushion that go up. These curves go up at an extremely pointy angle and they stick up out of the chair. If you are overweight and have a big butt, then you sit down on this chair, these parts of the chair are either going to be what you're sitting on or they're going to shove you in between them like they do for me. This means that they're constantly pressuring against my legs. They are hardly cushioned and feel very, very uncomfortable and painful. I do not recommend this chair for overweight people at all, or for people with big butts in general.

As for the rest of the chair, a lot of it feels cheap. The chair wobbles a lot, leans forward a little, and both of the armrests feel extremely wobbly despite being properly screwed in. The right armrest in particular feels very, very wobbly. The pillows are comfortable and the back of the chair's design is nice, and that's where the two stars it earns comes from. I also like the aesthetic.

If you're a skinny person, this chair probably is worth it because of its cheap price. But if you're a big person, avoid this chair until they fix it.

If you are overweight to the point that you worry about your long term health, buy this book and start the diet. Do not listen to your  naysaying doctor, family, and weirdo Amazon reviewers who tried the diet for three days, gave up and left a nasty review out of sour grapes. This diet could very well save your life if you are obese or simply upper-body obese.
I started this nutritional approach just over three months ago and am steadily losing about 2 pounds per week. I can reach my goal of 100 pounds lost in a year, after 25 years of being unhappily overweight.
Accept the fact that you have been lied to by Big Business health and pharmaceutical companies. Carbs are cheap to make, they have the highest margin for profit, and the "low fat" binge which has made us all much MORE FAT is just another way to charge more for something that costs them less. Refined carbs and sugars also cause countless stomach ailments and digestion problems in many people. So what do we do? We run to the drug store for more pepto, zantac, tums, etc etc etc. Big health business wants to maintain this status quo.  I used to take at least 15 zantac a week, but since I began to take Dr. Atkins' adviceinstead,  I have actually thrown away the box. My stomach issues are now in the past, my skin is glowing, and I'm losing weight while enjoying a plate of steak.
Please remember when reading this book, he is a very smart man who knows a lot about how the human body works. That said, his writing is a bit jerky and often long-winded. This book is not a beautiful piece of writing, but the nutritional approach it contains will help you lose weight and live a longer, more enjoyable life. It's about time.
