Rory8343 · 05-26-2008, 08:35 PM

Actually I think the macadamia thing is right out of the Atkins book

LowCarbRachel · 05-26-2008, 10:10 PM

yocheese--I still love the stuff and can't wait to get back to eating it in week 4 of my current diet!
sugar alcohol candy--I was here when it came out and boy,did it make me sick!
brushing--never did brush my fat away

CLA/GLA--these made me break out so I stopped them
ketostrips--aren't these in the Atkin's book? I still like to use them. They motivate me!
one minute muffins--I found these addicting and had to stop eating them

Lynda99 · 05-26-2008, 10:12 PM

It was, Rory!

There was a huge craze for it on here a looonnggg time ago.

I did it, too many Macs. They made my tummy hurt, and now it doesn't take very many to disagree with me. Meat and egg was in Atkins books, too, and Ketostrips, and some of the others.

Yocheese. YUM. Yocheese with frozen berries, YUM +++
SA candy. Good grief, I never knew there were a many f@rt jokes as on this board.
Brushing was HUGE.
Those one minute muffins with a cream cheese center...arggg! Delicious, but I'd eat the whole bag.

miss sparky · 05-27-2008, 02:23 AM

jigglypuff????????? Heroine wings??????
My god I've missed some interesting stuff.
mmm ziplock mojitos...(they sound a bit 'torture chamber')

I always thought jiggly puff was a Pokemon

egg creams

That list reminds me of all of the stuff that people have jumped on the bandwagon for over the years. Some are crazy, short-lived fads and some are truly good things!

A couple of others...Fat Fast, KISS, cinnamon in everything, and I know that there are more...

Didn't Dr. "A" call macs the perfect food?!?!

Not for me!!!

OurLuvsFromAbove · 05-27-2008, 07:28 AM

it isn't a fad if people are still doing it and its working for them?

GME · 05-27-2008, 07:34 AM

I still strain my yogurt..... mmm its better that way.

junkfoodmonkey · 05-27-2008, 07:44 AM

I certainly used to take a scary number of supplements.
The One Minute Muffin I like, but don't have more than maybe once or twice a week at the moment.
And I don't need no fad to make me eat Fage.

seb · 05-27-2008, 08:19 AM

Remember the salmon craze back in 2002/2003? Jennagain lost tons eating salmon every day and others tried to do the same.

jezzie · 05-27-2008, 08:30 AM

I remember when Macadamia nut oil was the old coconut oil.

Coral calcium, eating a dozen hard boiled eggs ..... and nothing else (Ivana Trump),
yesterday when I logged in there were five egg cream posts.

I'll stick to my good old snake oil available from the old 'health tonic' wagon.

A FAD is a quick fix, magic bullet type thing. Even Atkins has been a Fad.

Coconut oil is not a fad for me. It's not a magic bullet, but it has lots of benefits that I really do enjoy. It's a part of my every day life and I love it.

For others? It was a fad that they tried.

Low carb isn't a "Fad" for me either.

Alot of these things mentioned Do have benefits. But, people were looking more for the "magic bullet" effect. lol

OMG, Jezzie!! A Dozen Hard boiled eggs and nothing else? *shiver* Remember the Movie "Cool hand Luke" (Paul Newman...*sigh*) It made me think of that scene in the Movie with the hard boiled egg contest!

miss sparky · 05-27-2008, 08:42 AM

Cinnamon was a good one. Although, I still drink my coffee with a sprinkle of cinnamon. So does my dh. It's good that way.

I add cinnamon to my eggcreams sometimes.. I love the stuff! tastes so good!
I could sit and suck on a cinnamon stick!

Diana · 05-27-2008, 09:41 AM

Oh yeah... I remember those....

Coconut oil... Ugg! I remeber trying it... NASTY!!!!

Margot 65 · 05-27-2008, 10:40 AM

coconut oil is not a fad for me, it is part of my daily living and I don't think it has had any impact on my weight loss.

I cook with it, smear it on my family's sandwiches (it is tasteless they do not know it is there) and use the EVCO in my skin care regime and in my 8 month old's bottles.

I liken it to fish oil and think it is important and beneficial.

egg creams, well... they are just breakfast for me, I don't call breakfast a fad LOL

Maybe fad isn't the right word, maybe CRAZE should be the word!

I fogot cinnamon (still

it, crackslaw, and kiss, and so many others.

I left out egg creams since that's current craze, didn't want to get beat up!

Margot 65 · 05-27-2008, 10:43 AM

Craze is a good word! I am crazy for egg creams! And would be crazy to try some of the other things you listed LOLOL

ollamo · 05-27-2008, 10:48 AM

Guess i need to become a craze-y and try the egg creams.

I've been hearing a lot about them. Not sure how to make one, but i'm sure i can find the recipe somewhere

Lynda99 · 05-27-2008, 10:49 AM

I'm starting a new craze: Walnuts

"Richer in heart-healthy omega-3s than salmon, loaded with more anti-inflammatory polyphenols than red wine, and packing half as much muscle-building protein as chicken. Other nuts combine only one or two of these features."

I'm not getting enough fish. I think I'll hit Costco for a bag of these.
