» Blood Type Diet
By Mao Tsui | Published 01/12/2006 | Blood Type Diet |  printer version
This diet is well intentioned, but it lacks scientific evidence to support its claim that we should be regulating what we eat by our blood types.  It is hard to determine whether this would be a healthful diet to follow, as there are no recommended meal plans – you merely select what to eat from a list based on your blood type, so that you can avoid the appropriate “protein lectins”.

» Skinny Pill Diet Review
By Mao Tsui | Published 01/26/2006 | Skinny Pill |  printer version
The Skinny Pill Diet is based on Edita Kaye’s Skinny Pills, which you take twice a day.  The food plan is based on the premise that you should eat your carbs and fiber for breakfast, take a Skinny Pill, then concentrate on healthful protein for your other meals of the day.  And you take another pill after dinner.  If you stray from the carbs-in-the-morning plan, then there is another pill you are encouraged to take to “protect” you from getting fat.
