First, there is the diet plan:
A VLCD (very low-calorie diet) plan which promises a pound a day loss.
A plan which promises that no exercise is needed. Ever.
A plan which was so disconcerting that
Women's World had to alter it for publication.
A plan which promises no hunger on 500 calories a day on one of its phases.
A plan by a woman
whose
before and after pictures don't appear to be of the same woman.
A plan which
claims that
Jessica Alba follows.
A plan which
about.com has just highlighted as a "potentially dangerous diet".
A plan which has brought forth
survivors willing to speak out.
A plan which is being targeted to children
as I discussed here.
A plan which must be scrutinized by the Federal Trade Commission, the attorney general of California, and the Better Business Bureau.
