The Wiccan Diet! "You do not have to believe in, or understand Wicca or Witchcraft to use this diet. But you must have an open mind."
  • I'm leery of any diet site that won't actually tell you anything about the diet. Contrast this page to the South Beach Diet page* which gives you enough information to know what you're in for, but not enough give away the actual structure of the diet (and therefore prevent you from signing up or buying the book). Sounds kind of hinky to me. And I'm not anti-Wiccan. (I'm down with the Wiccaniosity of all Wiccans, I swear. Some of my best friends are Wiccan!) *Kimberly, Inc. is not endorsing any diet. Please check with a physician and do 20 pushups before even considering removing donuts from your complete breakfast. Do not pass go, do not collect $200.
  • i just love the weirdness of a "wiccan" diet. i wonder exactly how many diets are out there. thousands and thousands! and, of course, what people don't want to hear is: eat in moderation, eat healthy, exercise. the other night on "the daily show," louis black was griping about the atkins diet and its ban on bread. bread? "oh, i guess humans have been eating the WRONG THING FOR THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF CIVILIZATION!" heh.
  • Hee hee. I saw that too and it made me laugh. On the other hand, 1000 years ago they didn't process all of the fiber and nutrition out of their grains and they weren't eating twinkies and drinking coke. And they didn't have cars and busses to get them around. So yeah. I'm just sayin'.
  • *buses (I'm nothing without spellcheck.)
  • Instead of eating right and exercising, we'll just magically lose weight?
  • I personally prefer the methamphetamine diet. It keeps me slim and vibrant, and I can eat anything I want! I mean, ANYTHING! Twinkies, sausage pizza, wallboard, small rocks, kittens - anything.
  • Instead of eating right and exercising, we'll just magically lose weight? No, you'll magickally lose weight.
  • Remember:
    "The diet will work without magic, but just in case you need the extra help, it also includes the spells, affirmations and some advanced visualization techniques that even non-believers will find useful."
  • All the effort of dancing around elm trees under a full moon at midnight while chanting to the Earth Goddess will certainly help to melt those pounds. Best friend's Wiccan, yadda-yadda, all a joke, etc.
  • "But you must have an open mind." And $30 to shell out. Seems fishy to me, as I've been taught that it's inappropriate to ask for compensation in return for magickal services . . .
  • The best exercise is wandering around the woods. Nothing burns calories like trying to break up eldritch ceremonies.
  • I dunno, there's other things you can do in the woods...
  • So hey, you'd be in the ideal position to tell us... does a bear shit in the woods?
  • Now you've rushed past.
  • Apparently not. A Bear shits on MoFi's front page. Sorry. That's not funny, or true.
  • I saw the Pope in the woods back there. Somebody want to take His Holyness some toilet paper?
  • Does a bear wear a funny hat?
  • He mitre he might not.
  • BOOOO BOOOOO OK, Fishtick, how long did you have to work on that one? *boos out of extreme jealousy
  • Hmmm... looks like 4 minutes. Who knows vatican do with some more caffeine!
  • Oh, for the love of ....
