The Ice Cube Diet, And Other Bad Ideas
LatestA supplement company claims its hoodia ice cubes will help you lose weight. Allow us to propose a few alternatives.
According to Liz Neporent of ABC, Desert Labs says one “hoodia satiety cube” per day, consumed as part of a drink, will help people drop pounds. Shockingly, there are a few problems with this plan. First of all, hoodia is hard to come by, so the cubes might not even that much of the stuff. Instead, they might contain lead, arsenic, or pesticides — some of which, we guess, might make you lose weight before you drop dead. Also, hoodia’s not even proven to promote weight loss, so even if the cubes aren’t adulterated with poison, they might not do anything. So rather than wasting your money on supplements, may we suggest:
The Ice Cube Diet
Sounds similar to the hoodia diet, but with this one, you chew on ice cubes while watching the Friday movies.
Pros: Both a diet and a form of entertainment.
Cons: You might break a tooth. Also, sequels not as good as the original.
