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

(there's even an HG van that delivers meals for them!). And since there's no

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

here this weekend), here's your chance to purchase designer clothing, toys,

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

Divine Design shopping passes? Drop us a note. We're giving a bunch

(twenty!) away at random. And if you'd like to learn more about Project
