Does 'I Can Make You Thin' from TLC really work?!
Question: Has anyone been watching the program and lost any weight? This is pretty much my last shot at trying to do it on my own without going to more drastic measures. I have seen that I am eating less and snacking less but can't really tell if its working. I have done it for two weeks but had a few bad days along the way too. Anyone else have a story to share and is this strategy really a good one?

I've done it for 1 week and I've lost 6 pounds. i totally believe it and i think this is the answer for the US obesity problem. we need to teach kids this before they become emotional eaters.
i'm sure his strategies can work, but i think they mainly have a placebo effect - meaning you THINK it's his methods helping you to lose weight, but really it's your change of attitude, etc. in fact, before each program they show a disclaimer stating that the show is for "entertainment purposes only"
if you believe it will work, it will.
that's his whole theory. all it is is mystical mumbo jumbo. i've seen the show a few times and it really disgusts me, the way this guy toys with people. he's taking your biggest fears and insecurities and using it to his advantage. he tells you it's not your fault you're fat. he tells you are fat because you are "emotional". none of his methods are based in scientific fact. the show disgusts me.
I think the show is interesting, entertainment-wise. It HAS worked for some people, of course, but everyone is different. Some of his theories seem to go a little against common sense, but I still tried a few. There's no harm in trying it, is there? :)
