So, have you ever heard or watched those commercials regarding medications where the side effects are 10X worse than the thing the med is supposed to be for???

The Tug that Sends Your Energy Soaring:

Need a quick lift? Try this easy trick: Grab a handful of hair and gently pull it away from your scalp for 3 seconds. Repeat on different parts of the head. Stress can cause muscles around the skull to contract, which blocks the flow of energizing oxygen to the brain. Stimulating the scalp helps restore circulation to send PEP soaring.


Ok - I really did spit my coffee out laughing when I read this! It just struck me very funny! I am still laughing. I could just picture my hubby walking in the room and trying to figure out WHAT I was doing??? Ok, still laughing.... :)

If anybody actually tries this and it works...pls let me know!!! Love.

Hahaha! I am curious, but will wait until someone else tries it. Nope, not gonna be the first one... especially with family around. This reminds me of something else I heard. It is about pressure points and how you can relieve a hunger urge if you gently squeeze your earlobe. Although it is less embarrassing, I still haven't tried it. I bet it is more of a method to trick your mind into believing a particular action makes you feel better. Maybe the self-induced hair tugging activity falls into that mind teaser category too.

I just tried it, and while I did not feel a surge of pep, it did cause a feeling of relaxation, much like massaging my scalp after having my hair up all day!

Holly, I don't know...but I would be more apt to give my ear a squeeze...than to be pulling my hair out! They already think I am going over the edge...that will just prove it to them!

Aren't you the brave one Stef??? Was your hubby in the room, LOL! It probably does work...just hit my funny bone I guess...still making me chuckle!

I could see it causing the relaxation Stef is talking about. I know when I take my hair down after it has been up all day and I massage my scalp I get very sleepy. I will remember this little tip when I am tired to see if it works!

Paula, yes he is, but since he is blind and I was very quiet, he didn't know what I was doing! lol

that's even funnier! and pixi, I agree, I used to wear my hair up...and I know what you mean. I don't have any idea why it hit my funny bone...just images of women pulling their hair out...which we do anyway... somehow being the de-stressing, energy invigorating answer... didn't come to mind.

hair tugging, ear pulling... could make for a funny SNL skit when you're with unsuspecting friends & family

just tried it and nope it hasn't relaxed me- I am still wired from our latest quake LOL

For me, messaging the scale relaxes me, so pulling on my hair probably would pep someone up or wake them up.lol No I didn't try it.lol Some Commercials are just so dumb.:)

11 Jan 11 by member: ctlss
Sophie, I was thinking the same thing! And Squiggs, sure hope you're doing ok??? Much Love! Laurie, I didn't try either! But laughing relaxed me!

Does anybody know anything about Robert Ferguson's Food Lover's Program? Saw a write up about pairing slow carbs, protein and fiber w/ higher carb foods...and being that I am in maintainance, was wondering if this would be something to try...like once a week...to enjoy the occasional item I have gone without for a long time. ??? just wondering. Also it said to eat every 2-3 hours, all day long, to keep the metabolism fire burning...add the water to flush...and you could expect to lose at a much higher rate. So, do any of you eat every 2-3 hours consistently all day??? again, just curious?
