Apparently an absolute cure for life long obesity was found around fifty years ago by a general practitioner from Great Britain and made public by Kevin Trudeau in his Weight Loss Cure best seller.

The weight loss protocol discussed in this book claims to help people get rid of food cravings, hunger and the inability to move unwanted pounds from stubborn areas like the thighs, legs, hips and bottom.

It all sounds good. . . but is it?

Mr Trudeau is apparently a favourite target of the Federal Trade Commission, having previously been sued for his coral calcium claims. The FTC believes that this book contains false statements such as:

“I can eat whatever I want now, anything and as much as I want any time I want. No restrictions now. And the weight’s not coming back. You don’t gain the weight back. ”

The FTD has taken this statement as saying that in effect a person could eat heavily processed and fat laden foods three times a day and an individual not gaining any weight at all as a result.

The Consumer Affairs website also reveals a host of very unhappy buyers of this product. These complaints have included repeatedly asking for refunds to no avail, not receiving the product in the mail, getting unsolicited phone calls from other people, phones not being answered, being billed for monthly newsletters that dieters have not subscribed to. . . with no way of being able to contact anyone to stop the subscription.

The New York State Consumer Protection Board has given out warnings that people who call his toll-free number for more information are in fact having their information onsold to telemarketers and junk mailers.

Additionally, the diet is not “easy to do, can be done at home, and ultimately allows readers to eat whatever they want. ” In fact, it requires severe dieting, daily injections of a non approved drug and also dietary restrictions to last a lifetime.

The diet actually “requires severe dieting,” daily injections of a prescription drug not approved by the Food and Drug Administration for weight loss, and “lifelong dietary restrictions. ”

Unfortunately, it seems as wonderful as many of the insights may actually be in Kevin’s More Natural Cures and his best selling the “Weight Loss Cure”, it seems that there are a lot of unhappy buyers who have bought the book and are extremely unhappy with the results that have followed. . . without being given the opportunity to test his diet and lifestyle plan.

This is not the only weight loss scam that has taken advantageous of dieters desperate to lose weight. Click on the link below to see how countless Hoodia weight loss scams have ripped off consumers also.
