Weighing the Evidence

Posted on June 17, 2010

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) warns consumers to be smart about diet products.  Here’s some of what it had to say:

“Achieving a healthy weight takes work. Take a pass on any product that promises miraculous results without the effort.”

“Even if you’re successful in taking the weight off, permanent weight loss requires permanent lifestyle changes. Don’t trust any product that promises once-and-for-all results without ongoing maintenance.”
