Drink Enviga, Burn Calories, Lose Weight? Not So Fast

Urinating your money away alert! More misleading experts alert!

Enviga as a weight loss beverage is likely a scam, and so, IMHO, is the weight loss program of the so-called expert Katz who is quoted below. See my analyses of his 3-Hour Diet scheme written with J. Cruise. They are available at FitnessMed.com as Cruise's CACA Awards. Now that terrible weight loss scheme is truly "marketing hype ahead of science."

Also, there are NOT 3500 Calories in a pound. Add Bonci to your list of misleading and incorrect experts. BTW, is Bonci acknowledging that you can lose weight with Enviga if you spend the "$136-$315 to lose a pound"?

"Dr. David Katz, ABC News medical contributor and associate professor at Yale University's School of Public Health, said Enviga's calorie burning claims are based on insufficient research.

'It's putting marketing hype ahead of science,' Katz said. 'The science here is not ready for primetime. There is a hint in animal research and in very early studies that EGCG can boost metabolism a little bit, but we don't know if that contributes to weight control.'...

'Given the fact that a pound is 3500 calories…at $1.30-$1.50 a can it is going to cost anywhere between $136-$315 to lose a pound,' Bonci said. 'You can put on a pair of walking shoes and burn more calories without paying a dime.'"
