       | Also, losing 10 lbs in a month is nothing to write home about as
       | most diets will have you shed water weight, up to 8 lbs in less
       | than a week. Reducing carbs or salt are the two easiest way of
       | doing so. Something most experienced/serial dieters would know,
       | but makes for excellent clickbait.

       | GRUDGINGLY RESPECT Them, Hope to Become Friends", but I felt that

         | Someone who already reads that blog would probably find the
         | title perfectly reasonable and funny.
