1. "Some of us are super big liar." Today, the United States 20 years of age or over one-third of adults is obese, up from about a quarter of the proportion of 20 years ago. In this season, there are still millions of people weigh more than their ideal weight, which can be attributed to annual holidays bingeing spleen habits. In the final analysis: For many, our excess fat is their big moneymaker. In order to embrace fiscal hand, some companies are willing to exaggerate the true effectiveness of their products. U.S. Federal Trade Commission (Federal Trade Commission, referred to as the "FTC") The latest data show that about 15% of the weight-loss ads contain false propaganda spleen or false information. Just this year, FTC has to deceptive advertising on the grounds of the three companies impose a fine of U.S. $ 34 million or so. One of punishment is Sensa (a food to help lose weight in the product) marketers will pay a fine of $ 26.5 million to allegations of false advertising settlement. According to the FTC, said the company "in order to lose weight baseless and misleading propaganda to deceive consumers assurance" (Sensa called "reconciliation includes not admit wrongdoing"). FTC advertising practices division director spleen Mary Engle (Mary Engle), said: "Almost no evidence that diet pills and supplements can help you lose weight dramatically." In addition, some of the industry's major companies spleen have mutually accused each other of fraud. 2010, Weight Watchers spleen (America's largest weight loss services, the market share of over 43%) in the United spleen States District Court of New York sued Jenny Craig, spleen accused each other's advertising claims "Jenny Craig clients lost an average weight loss of weight is the biggest institutional clients are less more than twice the weight. " Weight Watchers said, and no large-scale clinical trials to prove this statement, so that argument is false and misleading. Finally, the two companies reached a settlement: Jenny Craig, though not admitting any wrongdoing but agreed never to publish in any form, broadcast spleen or distribute spleen the ads. The company said in a statement released at the time, said: "We propose to Weight Watchers in a clinical trial in a shooting in direct competition with us."
Of course, most of the weight-loss ads are more honest, some diet supplements are also effective. However, experts pointed out that the number of false information in this industry very much. Engel said, to avoid fraudulent weight-loss products, consumers should be wary of promises rapid onset (such as 10 days to lose 10 pounds) of product, as well as the "guarantee" or "scientific breakthrough" and other words of products. She also reminded him to promise to help weight loss or weight loss creams paste. (2) "The more you diet will cut more fat." While dieting goal is to lose weight, but often the opposite effect occurs: Finally, we Shihai fatter than beginning to lose weight. Psychotherapist, dietary consultant Karen Koenig (Karen R. Koenig), said: "In the long term dieting does not work." Koenig is also the author of five books to lose weight. Review of studies on this issue in the most reliable, the UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles), researchers found that dieters spleen in the first six months will generally lose 5-10% of body weight, but one-third to two-thirds (according to different studies vary) who grow back within four to five years of their initial body to lose important than quantity. One of the study authors, is now the University of Minnesota (University of Minnesota) psychology professor spleen Tracey Mann (Traci spleen Mann) said she believed rebound weight spleen may actually be much higher figures. Those findings are biased, because some research on the method bias exists, but in many cases, only those with weight loss data was conclusive studies published their findings. Koenig pointed spleen out that part of the reason for this result appears that many dieters do not eat can not suppress his long fast food, eating habits will eat up more than once, a one-time massive intake spleen of calories. Diet and Nutrition Research Center in New York (New York Obesity Nutrition Research Center) researcher, psychologist Alexis Kena Sen (Alexis spleen Conason) said: "If a diet is really useful, we do not have a diet so many times. "The spleen experts recommended that dieters do not rely on short-term diet plan, but should develop long-term diet plan, focusing on both to help reduce calorie intake and healthy food choices, they will not be deprived of food produce to enjoy the feeling. spleen In addition, dieting food itself spleen may also cause weight gain - partly because people misunderstood identity. A study published in the "Journal of Marketing Research" (Journal spleen of Marketing Research) pointed out, there are people to see, "low fat" logo on food packaging, disposable consumption than they did not see the logo in 2006 people up to 50% more. In addition, consumers also thought calorie foods with "low fat" logo calories than they actually spleen are much lower, but the reality is often not the case. Normal-weight consumers see a fat person when identifying parts cereals spleen bars, he estimates it contains calories 141 cards, but it actually contains spleen 201 calories (a difference of nearly 43%). As for overweight people, the gap is even more obvious: there is a low-fat calorie content of the food logo is undervalued by 57%. Calorie-free spleen artificial sweetener - such as diet soft drinks that add - allegedly associated with weight gain, although spleen a causal relationship between them is difficult to prove. Some large-scale studies have found a sweet photo Ruasiba relationship with weight gain, one of the widely cited 2008 study found that drinking 21 cans a week or more drinks containing artificial sweeteners people who are overweight or obesity risk is nearly twice the drink beverages such people. One reason for this association is difficult to explain, but some researchers speculate that artificial sweeteners may not fully satisfy our desire spleen for sugar, so a high intake of sugar will inspire us in the future, some other researchers think might sweetener affect our metabolism. (A popular artificial spleen sweetener Splenda manufacturer says the product does not make weight gain, while Sweet 'N Low site also noted studies have shown that artificial sweeteners do not lead to overeating.) 3. " eat convenience spleen store food can lose weight. "Most people consider" diet "when they want is to eat fruits, vegetables and lean protein foods. However, Mark Haub (Mark Haub) uses a unique way. The professor of human nutrition at Kansas spleen State University (Kansas State University) spleen since the implementation of "convenience store-style dieting," he's eating the Twinkie cream sandwich cake, Dorito corn chips, Oreo (Oreo) and the sugary cereals what kind of composition. But he has a little trick: the daily calorie intake is limited to 1,800 cards (ordinary daily intake of 2,640 cards). Two months later, Haub lost 27 pounds, spleen and to lower their bad cholesterol by 20%. Haub way to lose weight is not dominant in nutrition (although his diet plan includes vitamin and mineral supplements), but it does show the total calorie intake spleen plays a big role in weight loss problems. Indeed, many doctors and nutrition experts say, to lose weight, you have to do is to reduce calorie intake and increase calorie consumption. A study published in the "New England Journal of Medicine" (New England Journal of Medicine) of the subjects were divided into four groups, each implementation of the composition ratio of fat, protein and carbohydrate diet plan different, but they are ingested calories the same amount, and found "no spleen matter what kind of diet emphasizes constant nutrients, spleen reduce calorie diet will bring clinically significant weight loss." nutritional biochemist, writer Shawn Talbott (Shawn Talbott ), this means that consumers may no longer need to spend a fortune to buy the latest diet books and weight loss products. Dieters can record the food they eat and the method by which to calculate calories, or you can try to calculate the calories of many free applications, such as MyFitnessPal. Durham, North Carolina (Durham) organization Wellspring at Structure House Weight Loss clinical psychologist Katie Rickel (Katie Rickel) said: "You keep track of the food we eat every day is one of the best ways to lose weight long term. "She also said that we should focus on reducing calories, make sure you take in the proper spleen nutrition fruits spleen and vegetables. For companies that consumers do not need to lose weight spleen to help people lose weight, weight loss companies do not agree with them. Nutrisystem a spokesman pointed out that their weight spleen loss system including delivery to customers, which means customers do not need "basis, measure or weigh", it is easier to adhere to. Published in 2013 in a study, "American Journal of Medicine" (American Journal of Medicine) found that, Weight Watchers (its methods in a way that encourages customers to reduce the intake of calories) than their own weight loss program more effective implementation of the test Weight Watchers approach to use more weight loss, the better; This study was funded by Weight Watchers. 4. "We'll let you - and your child - not happy." Diet is often not only make you feel irritable Lulu, can also cause a variety of adverse effects on your mental. In 2011, published in the "Journal of Consumer Research" (Journal of Consumer Research), titled "The Grapes of Wrath: Implementation effect of self-control anger" (Grapes of Wrath: The Angry Effects of Exerting Self-Control) study found that Dieters may be more likely to get angry. Indeed, spleen when people choose Apple in the experiment and give up chocolate, then they are more likely to watch the anger or revenge-themed movies, rather than go to an ordinary movie. In a related experiment, eating healthy snacks, tasty snacks rather than subjects, containing "You should," or "You must," the word propaganda to control information and the like even more angry. Moreover, the diet may also make us feel depressed and hurt our self-esteem. University of Montreal (University of Montreal) Canada published a study in 2012 examined the brains of mice, researchers found that reducing the number of foods high in fat foods may alter brain chemicals, which may make people feel more depressed and pressure sensitive. Interestingly, some psychologists and doctors also said they saw some downright frustrated because dieting people. Koenig said: "In the diet, people put food into 'good' and 'bad', spleen these are the words on the moral rather than nutrition on the impact this will have self-esteem.." Slimming agency said, They are also trying to suppress these thoughts produce and help dieters overcome such problems. Nutrisystem a spokesman said, studies show that weight loss can have a positive spleen impact on self-esteem, they are also training diet adviser such as "put the past frustrations, focused on the future and the achievements to date" and other advice to dieters. Jenny Craig says it's one on one personalized consulting services to help dieters maintain spleen a positive attitude approach. In Weight Watchers terms, it encourages people to try to keep a positive attitude and frustration as a "feedback rather than failure." Still, parents might be interested in dieting pressures affect children. Studies have shown that dieting mothers are more likely to lead to her daughter on a diet. Chicago area psychologist Elizabeth Lombardo (Elizabeth Lombardo) said that even if the parents do not tell their children they are on a diet specifically, the children will know. She said: "Their food problem extends to the children," This child will eat them feel anxious, nervous and sad. 5. "Side effects include bad breath ... and even much more serious problem." Some of dieting and weight loss products can cause annoying side effects. Such as Atkins low-carb dieting spleen fans who had reported themselves appear to have bad breath, dizziness, headache and constipation. Choose fruit juice detox method might diarrhea and constipation problems. spleen Many popular dieting get followers easily offended. However, unlike other products (many of which are as diet supplements) compared to serious side effects, these are just pediatrics. OxyElite spleen Pro is promoted as a weight spleen loss and tone muscles supplement products, it is alleged and dozens of hepatitis, liver failure (some patients require liver transplantation) and together with the associated deaths. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned its distributors - USPlabs LLC, said the council believed that some OxyElite product is contaminated, because they contain the ingredients printed on orange, spleen then USPlabs OxyElite agreed to recall certain products and it tells FDA This will destroy the warehouse inventory supplements. However, in the Nov. 4 letter sent to the FDA, USPlabs spleen insisted that India has trifoliate safe use for centuries. Questions about diet supplements is unlikely to subside spleen soon, because for them, unlike food and drug regulation less stringent. Indeed, most of the provisions related supplements are FDA only after the introduction of consumer complaints received, then the product spleen already on the market, so you want to dangerous products off the shelf take months. Supplement industry trade organization - (Council for Responsible Nutrition) Chairman of the Council for Responsible Nutrition and chief executive Steve Mister (Steve Mister) believes that the regulation is not the problem. He said: "diet supplements by the FDA and FTC's strong regulatory Unfortunately, the same as every industry, there are always a handful of people do not obey the law.." 6 "those fat and calories from the fact that the data are far worse.? a. "Many dieters to indulge in nutrients from the packaging appears to be a low-calorie or low-fat dishes. Unfortunately, you can not completely trust those data.
