No Freaking Duh

There are a many things that irritate me, but very few things irritate me a lot. Diet books irritate me immensely. I was browsing the internet, minding my own business when I stumble upon this.

(From Simon and Schuster book sellers)

The New York Times bestselling diet guide that will help you safely lose weight, look your best, feel more energetic, and stay healthy for life!

If you are

• fed up with short-term fad diets that offer no lasting solution (Omg! Don't they all say this?!)

• craving a healthy alternative to high-fat processed foods and refined sugars (Wait? There's an alternative to refined sugars and processed foods? Oh man, I thought I was living in a cave there for a second, but this? I had no idea! *puts down chips*)

• searching for a way to take control of your health and feel vibrant every day (If you were actively searching, the whole "searching" process would probably shed a few pounds, via walking.)

the Fiber35 Diet is for you! (REALLY?! OMG! SO EXCITED!)

It's time to revolutionize the way you think about dieting! (I'd love to know what people think about dieting in the first place.). New York Timesbestselling author Brenda Watson has an incredible secret that helped her transform her body and vastly improve the quality of her life -- the Fiber35 Diet. (The fact that she is a best selling author concerns me). This incredible program will show you how to lose those unwanted pounds and maintain optimal health by taking advantage of the extraordinary power of fiber. Fiber is one of the most useful and beneficial ingredients on the planet. (No..... you don't say....)  In addition to helping prevent many of the major diseases of our time -- including diabetes, heart disease, and cancer -- fiber helps to curb appetite, increase satisfaction (of?), and actually flush calories out of the body (oh man, I never knew). Brenda Watson will show you how to incorporate it into your diet easily, sharing how to turn this little-known secret (how this is a little known secret is beyond me)to ideal weight and longevity into a lifetime eating system. Loaded with delicious recipes, meal plans, and even a comprehensive workout program, The Fiber35 Diet makes adopting a healthy lifestyle effortless.

Ok, let me just say, FIBER IS NOT A SECRET!!!! I've got a diet secret for you... stop wasting your money, get your butt of the couch, put down the candy bar, grab an apple and go for a walk! And I didn't even need to be a CNC to say that. Do you people really need to spend 19.95 on information that has been around since the beginning of time? Fiber is good for you? I never knew! Wow, if only my ancestors knew that fruits and veggies were good for you thousands of years ago.... *gawks* This book just makes me angry. Not only does the lady look like she is taking a happy poo on the cover, but her "secret" is just a crappy way to make money. Being healthy and treating your body right is the most basic and easy thing a person can do, ever. Fiber isn't some miracle cure, it's in the food we should be eating. It really isn't that hard to switch out fried chicken for baked, or an apple for a bag of chips. And if your still not convinced, here is a link for 20 healthy foods for under a dollar. Seriously people. Seriously.

So where might this fit in with the paleo diet you ask? Veggies. Eat them. They will help you poop and keep you healthy. The end. I just saved myself $120,000 for a college degree.
