I'm brazilian and here in Brazil açaí is often eaten by athletes after going to gym, because it has LOTS of calories. It's a fruit very commom in the north of the country and people who live there eat it to reinforce their diet. I just can't imagine using that to lose weight! This is so strange!

The genie shows up, offers three wishes, and BAM! Presto...Instant Gratification. Having to work for anything is kinda down hill from there. I feel that this mentality spills over to personal development, get rich quick schemes, and diet stuff. What will happen when we....gasp....realize life is a lot of work and in fact, struggle and challenge are all a part of the journey? Maybe we'd finally hurdle past our desire for delusions and get on with achieving our goals. Cool post, Vered. Katie Vered….maybe it is all the whole genie in the bottle story we grew up with.

I guess it works with a very low percentage of the receivers (as in, they open the email and click on the links), which makes it worth it to the spammers? @ Marelisa: “You just want to ask these people: What are you thinking?” Exactly.

For me, it irritates me more than anything and then I just want to get rid of it, you know? I just think people need to do whats good for them to be fit and to feel good.

Good advice, Vered - not boring at all. The thing that gets my goat is that, barring the occasional hormone problem, overweight people are overweight because they eat when they are not hungry (I can testify to this myself). If we can manage to feed ourselves if and when and how our body is asking, then we will be in healthy shape.

Yes, cookies all the time. It has to happen, right? (And as for the acai berry, the only thing I do like about it, is the fact that it is another food high in antioxidants. Is it a miracle food? No. But it appears to be a good addition to a well-rounded diet.)
