Well, I got suckered… I clicked a Dr. Oz news story on yahoo and watched the segment on Garcinia Cambogia. I read the Women’s Health editorial staff’s “guinea pig blog journal” and clicked on the link for the product she used “after researching several.” I bought it.<\/p>\n
Then, I went to Amazon and looked at reviews for a similar product. They were mixed. A few people said they saw results. None so impressive as the editor’s though. Sadly, most said it was a waste of money. <\/p>\n
Then, I thought, well, on the side bar of the site I was at it said that Rachael Ray used the same thing so I looked up her results. This brought me to a similar site as the first one I saw with a similar Dr. Oz clip but Rachael Ray was the “guinea pig” this time. I was surprised to see that Rachael’s testimonial and “diary” were THE EXACT SAME as the Women’s Health magazine editor’s except she researched and chose a different product. Ugh.<\/p>\n
I am now feeling a bit bamboozled. My own fault though…. Anyway, the stuff should be here next week. I guess I will try it and give my own opinion. Since I accidentally bought 5 months worth instead of 3 like I meant to (though I am trying to find a few people to split it with) I will have plenty of opportunity to test it out.<\/p>\n
On the South Beach front, I went shopping today at Costco. I will have to go to Safeway too because I couldn’t find everything I needed. I remember now one of the reasons I failed the first time was because the shopping is so onerous and expensive. Wow! I really have to use all this stuff. <\/p>\n
I am using MyFitnessPal to log my food, but I am thinking about putting it here as incentive and as an accountability tool.<\/p>\n
Stay tuned….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
