What better way to loose weight than with ice cubes. Yes, that is right, ice cubes. It is the Ice Cube Diet, and according to this Local 4 (news station out of Detriot) story on their website, it is the latest way to shed some pounds this summer.
And these aren’t just any ice cubes mind you, they are infused with hoodia, that favorite diet trend of recent history past. So, will the super powers of ice in cubic form, and that magical African succulent be the secret to your dieting dreams?
For only $1.50 a day, according to icecubediet.com, the purveyors of this new fangled weight loss plan, can help get you on the path to a slimmer you.

So, you can lose weight, and help continue driving the US out of our recessionary period by aggressively supporting the consumer packaging industry. A win-win to be certain.
According to Alicia Puma, a company employee who is also on the plan and who is quoted in the Local 4 article, she has already lost 25 lbs in the last three months. if you can’t believe a testimonal from an employee of the company producing the diet product, who can you believe?
A very realistic question is why anyone wouldn’t just run down to their local GNC, buy some hoodia for $20, and then make some ice cubes at home? Or, an even bigger question is why are you freezing hoodia in the first place? Is frozen hoodia somehow more effective than it is in pill form? It is an unproven product in the eyes of nutrionists and scientists. There is also some concern about potential health issues. Both Pfizer and Slimfast were looking hard at hoodia and both abandoned their efforts after awhile. Was it not profitable or not effective?
One thing is for certain, a celebrity endorser will not be difficult to find.
