Question for you Ladies

[barnzy7]

So heres the deal, sorry if Im posting this in the wrong place. My girlfriend and I are in a long distance relationship, it sucks but dont have much of a choice right now. So Im obviously no always around. She "tries" to be healthy, but for the most part goes to the gym when Im there and really only eats healthy on a diet when Im there.

Shes telling me shes going on the "detox diet". I really cant force her not to. Ive already gone over how bad this kind of stuff is etc. Its not getting through. Any suggestions of what I should do or tell her?

The diet is the one where you drink only water and no food for 2 days, then you eat nothing but fruit for something like 5 or something. Its just going in one ear and out the other for her right now.

Thanks,

Keith

hi Keith,
tell her those diets are so bad for your system, anyone i have ever known to rundergo them, has gotten promptly sick right after or during. this "detox" totaly knocks down your immune system.

i think the only way to get her not to do it is tell her:
this detox diet will make you FAT.

you and i both know it shuts down metabolism, and causes loss of lean mass... she will not listen to that.
just tell her esearch found people who do that diet get fat.

the people who market that diet lie.
i figure you should be able to lie a little too... for a good cause.

otherwise, get her on this site, and we'll try to talk some sense into her

Lol you know how girls are, they dont listen to their Bf's or husbands.

Dude - my girl does what she wants. She takes my input but ends up doing what she wants. It's her life and I love her the way she is. Acceptance takes a lot less energy than persistence.

There are actually some good detox diets out there that are beneficial. However the one your girlfriend is about to embark on sounds like a quick way to lose 5 or 10 pounds.....8 pounds of that most likely being water weight.

Tell her to do some research on it. Good detox diets work best for people that already eat healthy believe it or not. It almost "supplements" them. However for people that don't they are a quick, unhealthy, fix.
