How to lose weight fast!

You didn't seriously think that when you got to this page I was going to tell you there was some way to lose weight fast did you?

What I am going to tell you is that some things never change. People have been looking for fast weight loss plans, ideas, pills, gimmicks and ridiculous contraptions for years! Which would explain why the diet industry is a BILLION dollar industry.

Just to prove my point, I thought it would be fun to share a bunch of "diet" ads from years ago that I came across that claim to help you that "ugly fat" once and for all.

Take this one for example...I'm pretty sure they are telling you to eat all of the healthy food and leave the crappy high fat stuff for the soldiers?



 One of my other favourites is this ad, which pretty much insinuates that boys don't like "fat girls"


MMM, all you need hot water and the weight will come off!

I'm hoping this one wasn't actually selling a diet program and was referring to "diet" as it was intended to be used. But it still weirds me out that they used a baby photo and the word "diet" in the same ad



Who needs exercise when you can hook yourself up to a....vacuum?


And of course, the "10 day miracle diet"


Last but not least one of my personal favourites, a little clip that I have talked about before from a program that I actually paid for...I'm not kidding, thank you home shopping network.
