Skinny Water?!?

This is real.

You can actually buy bottles of 'skinny water' on the internet.


The website says it is, 'a no-calorie water, enhanced with a unique combination of ingredients to help people lose and maintain their weight'.
Their clinical studies show an obviously air brushed picture of a woman in a bikini (who is not only skinny, but is also beautiful and has flawless skin), lying on a towel with a bottle of the 'skinny water' next to her. How 'clinical' is it to air brush bodies?
You can buy a pack of 6 bottles for about $40 on the internet.
The company, Jana, claim that after drinking Skinny Water, 'You may notice a "full feeling," less craving for sweets and an increase in energy'. Good old Thames Water does that for me....
OK, so maybe their 'secret ingredient' does actually do something. But most dieticians will tell you that drinking a 500ml glass of tap water 20 mins before a meal will make you feel fuller, and therefore eat less.
I think the main difference between tap water and 'skinny water' is that tap water doesn't cost you $40 for 6 bottles.
And I'd be interested to see the calorific difference between 'skinny water' and tap water.
