I haven't seen this..but you might be able to get it from the library..Kevin is a tricky little guy in my opinion..It's all about selling more books and a bit of paranoia on his part..

I agree Carolyn. He's also been fined by the FTC for deceptive marketing. Not someone to trust IMO.

I bought both of his "secrets they don't want you to know" books off the infomercial where you just pay shipping. Anyways~ the bookscame with a flier advertising the book you refer to for 29.95. UGH!!!!!

Here are a few things the "secrets" books refer to for WL.
eat a big breakfast (proteins, fruit, veggies)
use coconut oil
walk an hour a day
drink water
use organic ACV
eat only 100% organic foods

Hope that helps! Oh I see you can join his website for a free week. However if you forget to cancel you will be billed.

Doesn't sound like anything most of us don't already know or read/heard from other sources.

I would definitely recommend you get it from the library as well. I did and I was happy I didn't buy it.

This book was talked about on an alternative health forum that I am a member of..... Here is a post from someone who has the book...

Quote:
Yes, I was referring to the book by Kevin Trudeau, The Weight Loss Cure "they" don't want you to know about. I have it in front of me right now, so I will quote a few items out of the book. Im curious what discussion groups would have talked about that is different than what I wrote, although the first part of the book is a lot of political information that I skimmed over, but what I stated is the skinny on the diet part.

I referred to this as a radical diet, but I should have used the terms Trudeau did. "The Weight Loss Cure Protocol" (pg 76) because it includes much more than diet.

Phase 1, which is preliminary to the diet created by British physician Dr. Simeons from his manuscript "Pounds and Inches: A new Approach to Obesity" written in the 1950s. It was designed to treat an abnormal hypothalamus. The first phase was to treat other causes of abnormality that weren't common factors in the 50's.

Spring water upon rising and all day, walking an hour a day to reset the body's weight set point, extra virgin raw coconut oil to stimulate metabolism, (pg 77) 15 colonics in a 30 day period, 2 organic apples per day& 2 organic grapefruits in between meals, 1 TB raw organic cider vinegar at each meal, colon cleanse product to detox, ThreeLac for Candida treatment, ELeotin for insulin, green tea, (pg 79) whole food supplement, coral calcium in water sachets, probiotics, heavy metal cleanse, organic Yerba Mate tea, large breakfast, (pg80) eat 6 times a day, dinner before 6pm, protein before bed--100gms, Acetyl L-Carnitine, (pg 81) hot peppers, cinnamon, salad included in lunch and dinner, no trans fats, no high fructose corn syrup, (pg 82)no artificial sweeteners, no MSG, only organic meat and dairy, no nitrates, no farm raised fish, ((pg 83) no microwaving, limit carbonated drinks, no cold drinks, no fast food, ((pg84) organic food only, natural sweeteners, do infrared saunas or at least regular ones and sweat 20 min per day, (pg 85) get sun for vit D preferably 20 min on naked body, sleep between 10pm and 6am, Kill oil, vit E, (pg 86) digestive enzymes, no lotions or creams including makeup, use rebounder, (pg 87) get massage preferably Swedish or Thai and Shiatsu 1-2 per week, yoga daily, shower filter for chlorine, (pg 8 electromagnetic chaos eliminator, breathe deeply, reduce air conditioning, (pg 89) avoid fluorescent lights, chamomile tea, AlphaCalm to reduce stress, de-stressing CDs from u-cure, add fiber, (pg 90) parasite cleanse, liver cleanse, lift weights, and no drugs.

This is the first month. He lists products by names with websites or phone numbers.

Phase 2 begins the actual Simeon protocol which Trudeau claims has been used by hundreds of thousands of patients around the world for the last 30 years, you know, in those fancy European fat clinics that only movie stars and royalty can afford. (pg 92)

(pg 93) Under the supervision of a licensed health care practitioner, "take an injection of between 125-200 units of hCG (human chorionic gonadotrophin) first thing in the morning." Drink 1/2 to one gallon of water throughout the day with coral calcium added, eat as much food as possible for the first two days only, from the list of foods (I didn't list them) from phase 1. This is a 2-day protocol.

Day 3, injection, water, and a specific diet with fluids for breakfast, lunch on 100grams of organic meats as listed, a handful of salad with a list of ingredients, and the same for dinner but with different choices. Each of lunch and dinner must include proteins, vegetables and the listed fruits, and no skipping meals. Eleotin tea, walk, rebounder, stress CDs, yoga, 20 minute sweat, colonics continue, 20 min sun, Q-Link or E-Pendant (electromagnetic shields) & Biopro chip in cell phone, little air conditioning, no cold beverages, 1-3 Thai massages per week.

This protocol continues through day 45 or a minimum of 21 days of phase 2 with injections every day. If more weight needs to come off, it is repeated after a break.

This is just a sample. For details and phases 3 & 4 people can buy the book. I don't know what the esteemed discussion groups were talking about but if not this, they were bluffing.

yeah, if everyone walked an hour a day and ate the things he suggests then we would all be thin I wish I had time to walk an hour every day. Maybe when my DD is grown and later when I'm retired. Hope my joints hold up that long.

I don't think it's much of a secret. He has good point though and the CO and ACV also help fight candida which can cause sugar cravings.

Oh, and if we could all afford Thai massages and colonics all the time, wouldn't we all feel refreshed and emptied of toxins???

Most of us working people can't afford to do most of the things he suggests and don't have time to be pampered all day...

You do know this is 5 years old right I love seeing old threads resurrected. I know the secret too......hhcg. I love hcg and I hope it stays our secret. I don't want it banned permanently. And you don't have to do it Trudeau's way. I have not and it was very successful for me.
