Send us your bowel movements!
I went to Wild Oats Market today, for just the second time since I’ve been in Cali, and ended up buying a lot of weight loss products. Wild Oats is the bastard offspring of GNC and your favorite organic food store; it is a less kitschy, less commercial Starbucks for food and food supplements. Unless you’re rich, more of a last resort for hard to find items, not a place you’d want to buy all your food for the week.
So, the products I brought were: Hoodia– I had heard of it from Carmen Electra’s commercial for a female weight loss product, but I didn’t know what it did until I read the bottle in the store–, a cranberry weight loss tea, and a detoxification system. The detox system comes with a chart which you can use to chart your progress; the manufacturers ask that after you’ve completed the system, you send them the chart so they can use it to add to their knowledge database. One of the indicators they ask you to chart is your bowel movements, specifically
amount/volume, frequency, firm v. loose, floating v. non-floating, changes in color, mucus strands, easier v. straining
Yummy.
