This means 6 weeks of whey protein or slim fast every 3 hours and lots of water. FOR SIX WEEKS. I asked her why and she said 'because I want to fit back into my skinny jeans by my birthday'. Apparently her DOCTOR told her to try this 'diet'. She also added that she is already vegan so this shouldn't be an issue with her weight dropping right off over the 6 weeks. ETA: her doctor gave her multi-v, appetite suppressant and something called Oxyelite Pro to take while on this 'diet. She also said a friend of hers did this and lost 50 pounds in 6 weeks.
I want to cry for her.
HA! Whey=milk product, suck on that, veg head!
In all of the universe there is only one person with your exact charateristics. Just like there is only one person with everybody else's characteristics. Effectively, your uniqueness makes you pretty average.
