Hurry up and weight

Seems like every commercial break contains at least one weight loss ad. Doesn't matter what the show is, in the break you get bombarded with ways to fight the flab, pound the pounds and other pleasing weight related alliterations  At the moment, the most intriguing product is Sensa. A powder you shake onto any dish and it magically suppresses your appetite. Perhaps it should be called fairy dust... or fairy cake dust even?

So it seems the makers have found a way for you to put no effort into managing your well being. Yay, you!

There's also the usual smattering of weight watchers type ads where they assure you their type of 'lean' cuisine is the most effective and yummy.

The most recent development is 'green coffee beans'. Yup, apparently that's the latest secret in dieting. I'm not sure if you're meant to eat then,drink them or smear them on you but Dr.Oz says they're cool so that's all that matters.

One commercial that is impressive is one where a guy has a conversation between his thin self and his fat self. Assuming  aren't usinf twins, this is a clever idea and with some nifty editing, works very well.
For all these weight loss commercials tho, I never see ads for the gym. Too much hassle I guess...
