Weight-loss industry: Consumers need help
TheChronicleHerald.ca
Meanwhile another far less wholesome message also permeates our North American society: Fat is out. The result? A continent-sized weight-loss industry worth an estimated $50 billion that offers to help the overweight shed that excess girth. From fad diets to miraculous supplements that can supposedly magically melt away those unsightly pounds in mere weeks consumers are being bombarded by pitches for products that purport to help people lose weight quickly and easily. But the problem say experts is that truly effective weight-loss programs are neither fast nor simple. In a provocative recent editorial in the Canadian Medical Association Journal two weight-loss clinic doctors argue that to protect often vulnerable people who are looking to lose weight from the snake-oil salesmen rife in the industry more government regulation is needed. If more rules aren’t available the physicians said then a voluntary accreditation system should be set up so that consumers would be able to confidently choose those weight-loss programs that have been clearly approved as safe and effective by a council of credible experts.

That’s where she discovered the "miracle" weight-loss cure of a British endocrinologist of the 1950s Dr Albert T Simeons who claimed that daily hCG injections would allow the subject to survive on 500 calories a day while shedding weight so fast that every two weeks you’d need a new duds. Simeons and his followers have generally not claimed that patients following a specific diet will lose more weight when receiving hCG.
