Now this one sounds great at first glance. What could be easier than catching some extra Z’s to lose weight? Imagine going to bed looking like Rosie O’Donnell and waking up looking like Jessica Alba? Admittedly, that’s a bit of a stretch, but the point is that sleeping your life away isn’t going to melt the cellulite off your thighs like magic. What’s worse is that it will require the use of “sleep aids” to rack up the sack time that this diet recommends. Even if this diet did work wonders, and didn’t involve risky activities like downing sleeping pills, who but the rich and famous have the time to sleep their day away? Don’t most regular folks have jobs to go to?
