Sorry if my english is weak.. (non-american)
I have this problem which really annoys me.
My mother is getting older.. she always was kind of naive and gullible but now it is getting really bad. The problem is she watches american tv with all these bullshit commercials offering weight loss toys and overpriced vitamins that are marketed as "fat burners", and she falls victim to that nonsense. These kind of things give her hope that she will lose weight!
I'm trying to find some kind of article, video, or documentary that she can read/view and see how these things are REALLY BULLSHIT.
When I tell her its bullshit she will accuse me of "hatin'" in other words of being jealous of her future of losing weight! Ridiculous.
It drives me crazy when she says things like "but there was a Doctor in the infomercial that said that this really works"What she doesn't know is that "Doctor" is a paid actor. Really bugs me out!
Here is what REALLY kills me .. she browses the web and clicks all those nonsense bullshit popups selling products for weight loss, skin care etc... and she keeps putting her hopes into these fake ass products. I have to clean her pc almost every month with all the spyware on there from these silly sites.So any ideas how to enlighten her with a video / documentary preferably that will show her reality?

send her the small legal print.
it usually says something like 'results improve with proper diet and exercise'...

I don't know - these products sound pretty convincing. Maybe just buy her a few and see how she does?
I think you might be jealous of her future weight loss.

Purple in the morning, blue in the afternoon, orange in the evening.
There's my three meals, Mr. Smartypants.
And green at night. Just like that. One, two, three, four.

people want an easy solution to weight loss.
some magic pill they can take to shed pounds, or some simple device they can use while watching tv to get a six pack. lipo6, xenadrine, california diet... it's all bullshit.
what it really takes is hard work and determination. realizing you have to do SOMETHING is really the first step. it's a 70, 20, 10 combination of eating right, supplementation (think vitamins and minerals) and working out.
You absolutely have to help her. And by that I mean if she has to eat healthy, you eat healthy. If you don't live with her make it a point to take her healthy meals and eat with her. All the bad food in her kitchen... throw that shit out and monitor what she buys.
5-6 small meals per day.
Drink a ton of water.
30-60 minute walk every night.The Four Hour Body is a pretty solid book. Maybe start there?

don't read that nonsense ^
the easiest way to lose weight is through chemicals.
just tell your mom to choose. pills or food, not both.
i suggest pills as they are low calorie and think of all the calories she won't be consuming by stopping eating

heroin seems a great way to lose weight. ever seen a fat junkie?
Just get her hooked on H and watch her weight plummet.
