CBS Healthwatch recently published an article on quack health fads, with

the following warnings about any organization, institution, or individual

who attempt to give you diet " help " :

You're offered a preprinted diet, with no consideration of your unique

lifestyle, habits, or likes and dislikes.

You're given a diet of less than 1,000 calories a day, without the

recommendation to have ongoing medical monitoring.

You're offered expensive nutritional assessments like hair analysis to

detect nutritional deficiencies that may be making you gain weight.

After your " deficiencies " have been diagnosed, you are sold nutritional

supplements.

You're told that food allergies are causing you to gain weight.

Fasting is recommended as a way to lose weight and rid your body of

toxins.

The one giving advice has a degree from a school or university you've

never heard of. (Check it out.)

The weight-loss counselor doesn't want to discuss your case with your

doctor.

You're offered hormone or enzyme injections to speed weight loss.

You're given a prescription for appetite suppressants without having a

physical exam or being asked about your medical history.

You're told that sugar is what's making you fat.

You're advised to follow a specific food-combining regimen to prevent

your body from storing fat.

You're told that you can lose weight and keep it off without exercise.

You're assured that you can safely lose more than 3 pounds a week.

There is no maintenance plan to help you once you've lost weight.
