'Beyonce diet' slammed by experts

Apparently maple syrup is the hottest weight loss product since the thigh master

Hollywood has the answer to everything. One topic they have been on top for the last decade is dieting. It seems hollywood heavyweights like Britney Spears and Katie Holmes are at the forefront of weight loss science. The latest load of ####### to be gaining attention is a new fad diet which involves eating large amounts of maple syrup.

The diet claims you can lose 14 pounds in just 10 days by eating drinking this amazing product.

Aunt Jemima never even let uncle Ben eat that much syrup

The craze started after pop singer and actress Beyonce Knowles said she used Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup to lose weight for her next film. It should be noted that, Ms Knowles does not hold any certification in nutrition and has more money than many small countries to spend on personal trainers.

The syrup costs approximately £39.99 ($57 CDN) per litre and is flying off nutrition store shelves throughout Britain.

The solution is made of water, lemon juice and cayenne pepper and dieters drink the mixture instead of eating meals.

The diet has actually been around since 1985 when it was invented by a Swiss health company.

The revolutionary weight loss product has only one UK distributer called Pure Natural Products. Cuka Clarke who runs the business with her husband and sons told the "Five years ago we were selling about 500 pots a year, mainly to friends and relatives.

"Now we are selling about 2,000 a month. People recommend it to each other because the results are so amazing.

"It is safe - fasting is as old as the Bible. When you are born you spend nine months on a liquid diet and when you are ill in hospital they put you on a liquid diet.

Here at WorldFitness, we are a bit leery of any product which claims to have the miracle solution.

“Going without food and only drinking a syrup solution is not good for you,” said certified nutritionist Mia Blake. “People see a dramatic weight loss because of the drastic reduction in calories”

Any health professional will agree, any product that appears to be “too good to be true” probably is.

sooo who could live on water mixed with maple syrup and cayenne pepper. ...safe??? SURE it is safe, it will probably take you to the hospital in few days.

I remember when my son was a baby and he was constipated, the doctor's told me to give him syrup in his bottle. Do you think that they could have been "extremely" constipated????? Like 14 lbs. worth....!

I think if she had totally left the syrup out she could have done a whole lot better and have given her teeth a break

That's just the master cleanser in a bottle.

The master cleanser that incapacitated me after 4 days.

The maple syrup I believe is just for calories.

I was going to try it years & years ago but decided not to after it said you'd have to lay in a tub of dry sea salt to absord the stinky toxin smell coming from your pores.

I can hardly afford to sprinkle sea salt over my food let alone 'bathe' in it

So, basically if you keep a very rigourous Lent (for Christians--"very rigourous" means no solids for 12 or more of the 40 days) or Ramzan (for Muslims--30 days, but the specifics are EVEN STRICTER), you can get the same results without trashing your budget.

Cheese doesn't work .. Geeeezzz Next you are going to say that eatting in moderation and excercise helps! Yeah .. Right!

It has to be

1. Gravy

2. Bacon

2. Butter (I have heard the butter diet works.. but ehhh I dont like butter I am a Country Crock guy)

If you have nonfat (aka "nontaste" or "really-lousy-taste") cheese, it should work fine.

I myself would only promote it if it was Bacon wrapped cheese that you can dip in Gravy.
