Has anyone ever gone to FAA- Food Addicts Anonymous? and how were the results?

I went to Overeaters Anonymous--is that the same thing? It's the eating branch of AA.\n\nI didn't like it.  I'm not religious and all the god and prayer stuff turned me off.

I've had friends use it and it seems to have worked for them.  They also tried to eat more healthy, so it was a good combination.

it does work, because by having you count points ( the way i did it...) you realize what you are eating and most importantly, you learn portion control. Sometimes it seemed to me that i was still hungry after eating their recommended portion, but if i waited a few minutes before going for another serving, i found that i didn't want it.  And if i got hungry later, i could eat no points things and be satisifed.

It sure does. My wife & I ahve booth had great success with it.\n\nBut, you should understand that it only take away the hunger..so, if you do not break your habit of eating at set times and eat, it will not help! You must THINK about not eating at your normal times.\n\nLike most Internet supplements/diet aids, the source is vital to insuring you are getting only pure, real Hootia. \n\nI was directed to a great Hootia importer, and would recommed you visit http://www.hoodia-diets-info\nThey have a vast collection of articles on Hoodia and also a very good source.

i was on topamax and it sucked. i'm not sure if i lost weight because i didn't have a scale, but if i smelled food i would just want to vomit. i had not appetite because the smell and the idea of food just made me sick, but i still SO hungry. it was really sad and my stomach was just constantly upset. so... i mean if you don't eat... yeah, i'm sure you could lose 20 lbs in a month, but it would be the same as starving yourself.

I too have had that problem.  I am addicted to food like an alcoholic is addicted to booze.  It is my drug and I can't diet for more than 6 weeks it seems.  I go to Overeaters Anonymous. I never wanted to as I was overweight and embarassed enough over feeling like a pig with no willpower... but it WORKED!! and there are tons of other women in there and we all agree that the name sucks but the program (which is 100% free) works.  Many alcoholics go to AA and get better.  This is the exact same thing.  You are an addict and there is help out there and no one wants  your money.  Good luck to you I feel your pain but I have lost a lot of weight and am so happy I found this.  It also did help me with the rest of my lifes problems too and I made lots of friends who go through it with me and I have a sponsor.  I now am glad that  I have an eating disorder cuz i am so much happier now.\n Let me know how you do!  Jakietye@yahoo.com

I have tried everything (haven't we all) and learned that Weight Watchers appealed best to my obsessive-compulsive nature.  The point-counting really works for me.  Tom Hanks also really said it best when asked how he dropped so much weight for the island part of "Castaway".... he simply told the reporter all he had to do was "Eat less, exercise more."  The willpower thing is what gets me, but if you can stick to it for a couple of weeks, you will see results and keep plugging along.  GOOD LUCK TO YOU!

My gf and I have been using it for about 3 weeks now. She's lost about 25 lbs and I've lost nearly 30 lbs.  It "looked" like it would be hard - to "give up" things we thought we just "had" to eat.  Not so.  With this plan, you eat 5 - 6 times a day, and the recipe book and their web site are filled with TONS of ways to fix food that's absolutely delicious.  After losing about 10 lbs the first week, and noticing clothes getting looser after a couple of weeks, and feeling more energetic, you realize you haven't lost anything - except the weight you didn't want to have anyway!  It was my gf's idea to try this.. I admit I was skeptical. Now I would highly recommend it to anyone who really wants to change their lives and become healthier..and smaller. :)   \n\nDan

Yeah, it was a good time. I went tandem (less expensive & very little time for instruction) instead of AFF (accelerated freefall). It'll cost you maybe a couple hundred bucks, but it's a GREAT experience. Not sure where you're located but if you're in the southeast check out www.skydivecarolina.com it's awesome!

You're just the one I want to talk to. Is there a way for you to get some kind of funding for research. You cannot imagion how many disabled, senior, and all individuals need a dietician who can come up with a diet that is cheap and eassily adaptable to individual needs. Do you know how many individuals you would help; not to mention all of the bucks you would make. \nWe do need help because we cannot exercise and we are too weak and bored to say no to our cravings\nGood luck

I was in the Air Force so you know what I'm going to pick!! And I spent six months for training on a Navy base and it was horrible!!  The Air Force seems to treat you better and the food was definitely better!

I did.  I went with a guy friend of mine.  I believe there were 10 people we each spoke to.  5 Minutes each.  It was like going on 10 job interviews.  Being interrogated 10 times in a row is tough!  One guy I spoke to kept being interrupted by his...girlfriend....calling him on his cellphone.(Jerk).\n\nMy friend felt just as frazzled as I did after wards and we had to immediately go have a couple of drinks.  \n\nI did have lunch with one of the guys later, but no sparks.   I don't think I'd ever do it again.\n\nHope this helps!!

Nutrisystem food sucks!!! And I was always starving to death!\nThe serving size is soooooo tiny! And I know that it is the best way to lose weight. But get real!! One of the cereal packets had 1/2 cup of cereal in it. And nearly every thing has beans in it. One of the dinners I ate the beans were stil crunchy! The deserts I got were mostly soy chips or nasty pretzels.\nJust not my idea of a diet that I could stick to.

I have been on Medifast; Optifast and other like it.  Don't waste your time.  I have been on Atkins, weight watchers, South Beach and taken diet pills.  He is what finally worked for me.  I cut out deserts, bread and pasta.  I eat a lot of salads, chicken, fish and fresh fruits and vegetables.  But, I drink a whole load of water.  To make it tastier, I squeeze fruit into the water.  I found this helps me loose weight and still feel full.  I also do some exercise.  In my opinion, these diets are all full of crap.

I tried it, didn't find that it worked one bit.  I ended up returning it for a refund.  Even though it tasted great, it made me sick to my stomach, and I didn't lose any weight at all.  In my opinion it's a scam.

I am a recovering bulimic and anorexic. I suffered with these disorders for 5 years and have been free of them for 2 years. Thank God! There is help! I now eat to live, not live to eat and I have a healthy relationship with food now. I personally had to go to an inpatient treatment facility because I could not stop on my own. I tried so many times to do it by myself. I'm including the link to that treatment center incase you want to check it out.\n\nhttp://www.remudaranch.com/index.asp?flash=yes
