Online Diet Comes Under Scrutiny

Right approach. Wrong place to start.

"An online dieting program which promises big weight loss results in record time has raised suspicions and resulted in a possible class action lawsuit."

It is about time.

"The diet provided stunning results and Sherburne lost 100 pounds in only five months. The Kimkins diet recipe for dropping pounds included replacing fiber with laxatives and severely limiting caloric intake. While the recommended daily number of calories for the average woman is 2,000 according to the Food and Drug Administration, the Kimkins diet called for only 500 calories daily."

You: On A Diet, by Mehmet Oz and Michael Roizen, Oprah experts, clearly advocates for nutritional homicide by recommending sub-Nazi caloric intakes. David Katz and Jorge Cruise recommend near Dachau-level caloric intakes for their 3-Hour Diet.

ABCNews, another bad source of diet info, uses David Katz, an MD who is involved in the patently wrong 3-Hour Diet and Abs Diet, as an expert quoted in the article.

In fact, frankly, it is my opinion that these diets are scams and provide bad advice.

Ironic isn't it, that Katz, the pot, is calling Kimkins, the kettle, black.

Sue them all: Oprah, Katz, Cruise, Cruise (again), Zinczenko, Sears, ABC, Rodale, Discovery Health, Consumer Reports, Oz, the sick care establishment, etc.

They are the deeper pockets.

And they cause way more harm, IMHO.

Once the diet liars are out of business, then take on the fitness liars.
