Weight Loss SCAMS Revealed!

I hate to say it, but 90% of the products and information on the internet are absolutely worthless…

And to top it off there are a bunch of new ads dominating the web that are TAKING ADVANTAGE of thousands of innocent people looking for real-world answers.

Here’s what the NEW SCAMS look like:

The advertisements you see are disguised to look like moms, and other women’s success story blogs, but they are really just deceptive marketing ploys set up to look like blogs. It’s sneaky and actually quite clever, but the fact is these are bogus sites.

They promote 2 main “weight loss” products.

New Diet Craze: The Banana Diet

A weight loss craze that started in japan has now crossed the ocean.

It’s the morning banana diet.

Here’s the plan: Eat fresh bananas for breakfast or brunch with water at room temperature, eat whatever you want for lunch and dinner, no desserts or snacks, don’t eat after 8 pm. and be in bed before midnight.

The creators of this diet say you don’t have to exercise to see the pounds come off.

But does it work?

Nutritionist and author of the new book “The Beauty Diet”, Lisa Drayer, says it may work at first because bananas are high in fiber and vitamins and low in calories.

But she says you should stick to a set amount of calories and engage in exercise.

Americans are losing their fight against deadly Type 2 diabetes

The type 2 diabetes epidemic that continues to sweep across the United States has left an estimated 24 million Americans struggling with the disease, up more than 3 million people since 2005.

And, of course, with the epidemic comes the wave of illnesses and disabilities brought on by diabetes — heart disease and stroke, blindness, amputations, kidney disease and nervous system damage.

Doctors are trying to reverse the tide in two ways. First, they’re continuing to press the public to adopt healthful lifestyle changes that can head off type 2 diabetes, or, at the very least, help control it if it’s already present. And researchers are pushing to develop new drugs to help people manage their diabetes more effectively.

Despite failures, search for obesity drugs still looks golden

Designers of anti-obesity drugs have suffered three major setbacks, but the potential reward from treating the world’s fat epidemic is so great that their quest is unlikely to be deterred.

After investing a sum rumoured to be in the hundreds of millions of euros (dollars), Sanofi-Aventis of France announced this month it was abandoning its drug rimonabant, which had stoked huge expectations at its launch in 2006.

Rimonabant — brand name Acomplia — ran into a flurry of ever-tougher warnings from European watchdogs about potential psychiatric side effects, including depression.

In October, the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) recommended that rimonabant be pulled from sale in Europe. The drug had never been able to gain approval in the all-important US market.

Also this month, the US giant Pfizer put a stop to tests of a prototype in late-stage development called CP-945,598, citing regulatory hurdles.
