Hungry Girl Today: 11.26.07
Diet Scams... Alive & Well
So, what do you think the biggest scams of 2005 were? Pyramid schemes?
Lottery scams? Internet hoaxes? NOPE! According to a recent study by the
Federal Trade Commission, in 2005 more people were victims of fraudulent
weight-loss products than of any other major type of fraud. Another study
just published in the British Medical Journal evaluated the long-term results
of three "weight-loss" medications, and it found that those pills did NOT live
up to the hype. On average, participants lost less than 5% of their body
weight, and a whopping 30 - 40% of them dropped out before completing the
trial. One of the meds tested was orlistat, which is sold over the counter as
the ever-popular Alli. Bottom line? A balanced diet you can actually stick to +
exercise = the best way to get rid of extra pounds and keep them off.

Shop for a Cause!
In their 18 years of service, Project Angel Food has prepared and delivered
over 5 million meals to seriously ill, homebound folks in the Los Angeles area

charge for these services, PAF raises money by having lots of cool, LA-based
events throughout the year. Their next one is the highly anticipated Divine
Design -- a star-studded shopping fundraiser that'll take place in Los Angeles
from November 29th - December 3rd. If you live in the LA area (or will be

cosmetics, accessories, and spa products (all at 50 - 90% off retail prices)
while helping to raise lots of money for a GREAT cause. Wanna win FREE
