salt water detox

This girl in my group is doing some "detox" in which she drinks SALT WATER for breakfast and various other peppery liquids throughout the day and eats nothing. No doubt it won't last long but how foolish can people be?! She thinks it's working to help her lose weight but all it's doing is dehydrating her. 

salt?? ....i....what?

um you should tell her its unhealthy and one of the stupiest things you have ever heard

Wouldn't that make her sick? I ditto Canadaleaf.

ugh, that makes me want to barf just thinking about it.

I explained that it's only dehydrating her but she's stubborn and I figure she'll give up in a few days anyway. It just amazes me how people can think ridiculous fad diets will work. She was encouraging other people to do it as well and they were into it. And of course no one would listen to me, because they're all united in their slight overweightedness.

 HAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAA this is scary! where did she ever get that idea?

 
"This is cranberry juice cocktail...it's full of sugar!"

"But I really wanna lose 3 pounds!" 

I think it was her mother who gave her the idea, she did mention that her mother and her were both doing the "detox".

wow i kinda feel bad for her. clearly her mother is a poor influence on her if they're doing it together. or maybe she's trying to show her how not to diet! either way its not healthy. hmm...

I hope it isn't a lot of salt, best case, she dehydrates and ends up with "the runs".  Worse case, she goes into salt shock and that can shut down the organs!  Not something that often happens, but it can if she uses too much salt at one time.  (it has come close happening to Lobster  fishermen I know when they "taste tested" their salt bait and got too much.  Severe shaking and totally out of it for several minutes after only a "taste". Thankfully it was a one time taste, not something done over several days)

HAHAHAHA

"Its okay , lets go to Taco bell"

"IAM ON A ALL CARB DIET, GOD KAREN YOUR SOO STUPIDDD!"

If its the diet I think it is, it sounds like she is doing to Lemonade diet.   My uncle and his girlfriend did the lemonade diet last year and they both lost about 15-20lbs in 14 days.  I thought AWESOME! So i have to try it.  I think I lasted about 6 days.  It wasn't that I was hungry but i was craving.  I ended up lossing about 10 lbs., but when I stopped to diet and got back to eatting real food I gained it all back, but i didn't really ease myself into it like your suppose to.  there is a book on this diet, and it has all the nutrients you need.  but i really don't know if i would ever do it again.

wait im confused.. wouldnt a salt water diet make her GAIN weight??

not neccessarily, if she isn't eating anything the salt will give her the poops in a bad way. It's like those liquid salt laxatives that people have to drink when getting bum exams.. durrrr whatever they're called lol

 

lol props  sk8terdude

Doesn't salt water make you delusional?
Hence why you're not supposed to drink sea water.
Thats a really stupid idea anyway.
How can she even stomach it??
Ever since my brother went through a stage of putting salt in everyones drinks (he was 4 and thought it was hillarious. he would ever so sweetly ask "would you like a drink of water?"... we usually said yes, just to amuse him) i can't stand salt water.
It's sickening.

maybe thats how it works by making you sick thus destroying your appetite
