It called for dieters to take 22 herbal supplements and vitamin pills a day and cost about $120 a month. The plan also advised dieters to adopt a low-calorie diet and to exercise.
So in other words eat a healthy diet, get exercise, but forget your common sense and flush $120 a month down the toilet.
But if they weren't following the diet (eating less, exercise and taking the pills) and were just taking the pills alone, then they have no one to blame but themselves.
I'm sure the diet plan advised them to consult their doctor too. Did they do that? No. Sure, they can be upset, but if they didn't lose any weight they have no one to blame but the person who didn't put down the bag of potato chips and stayed on the couch.
If they followed the diet plan strictly, then they may have a case. But if they saw no results and continued to stay on the plan that just shows their stupidity.
I agree with all of this; however, my hatred of Dr. Phil overshadows all of that. Nothing pisses me off more than a fat, bald, rude Texan trying to tell other people how to lose weight just for the sake of putting more money in his already overflowing pockets.
OMG, I am so glad I am not the only one who hates him.
This commercial came on the other night, where NBC was advertising his show. One of the women was going on about something, and then Dr Phil says 'well, you want to know what I think?'
C and I *shouted* at the TV "NO!"
It was a cute moment. I'd like to help you rip his teeth out one by one.
