Weight Loss Cure -Kevin Trudeau

[kmb425]

Every infomercial that comes on tv about weight loss and diet I can't resist watching.
I was flipping through the channels this morning and saw Kevin Trudeau advertizing this book.
The last time I actually saw him on tv, he was touting the Atkins Way.

Of course Mr Trudeau has 2 other books out with information on this "cure" but you have to buy the books to see if it is a "cure".

I have bought so many books and tapes. Im tired of buying another book just to end up where I started.
I am making progress with Atkins, so I believe in this WOE. The science behind Atkins makes sense to me too.

Has anyone looked into this book and can you tell me if it is a "cure" or just another book that will sit on my book shelf like all the other ones that I have.

Don't send him any money! Anybody who's the nutritional supplement business will tell you he's a fraud. He makes the honest people in the business look bad. Here's an article with a list of his business doings http://skepdic.com/trudeau.html with links to their sources.

And here's a site where people who've bought the weight loss book are complaining about company practices. http://consumeraffairs.com/health/trudeau.html

I think you'd get much better advice from this site for free!

I made the mistake of thumbing through the book one evening at Chapters and almost gagged on my decaf latte - he is advocating daily injections of something or other over a six-week period and the stuff you inject isn't approved in North America! There's a lot of bogus science and so many food restrictions that Atkins Induction looks like Willy Wonka's candy factory. In other words, I don't think so!

The only valid uses for this book IMO are: A) Propping up a wobbly table or B) Using the book as a weight and doing biceps curls.

I bought his first book and it was one long infomercial for his website. When you went to his website to find all the great information that WASN'T in the book you were told it was only available to subscribers of his newsletter! More money please!

No Thanks!

Thanks all for letting me know. I will continue with Atkins.
I'm floored by all the underhanded scams Trudeau has been involved in, you would think he would be in jail.
I'm so grateful he is nolonger linked with Atkins in anyway.

Your right, this site is so much more valuable to me than another book on my self.

If you like to read to keep motivated, I highly recommend Protein Power, Protein Power Lifeplan, and Michael Eades blog:

The nutrition information is amazing and maybe a little more current than Atkins.....

He makes it sound like an amazing cure for people who are overweight! If only it were that easy!

I actually have a couple of his books. The weight loss one has many valid and really good things you should do. But the injections aren't something a normal person has the means or the desire to do daily.

If you read his books, there is a lot of points he makes about health and stariods (sp) in our foods, and about eating organic foods. I think alot of it makes sence.

anyway, just my opionion. It definatly isn't worth spending $25 for, I got mine for $13.

[kmb425]

I appreciate everone's imput. I have not invested in his books yet.

I decided to follow K/E, so far I have been successful.

I fell off the wagon and had some cheese and a margarita (oops)
But back on track today

Soooooooooooo enjoying reading this board.

That was some very interesting reading. And gives you the definite urge to stay away from the guy......

We got the free CD. 50 (or whever # it was) colonics in 50 days. What a crock

i HAVE THE fIRST BOOK HE WROTE..The Cures they don't want you to know(or whatever).
I think that overall the diet info is accurate.He has like 60 lifestyle changes to make(maybe more),He says that people should do all of them for best results but he realizes that is not practical so u should do as many of them as possible.Some of the things are Buying organic food,Not eating processed carbs,Colonics,Parasite cleanse,steam baths..pretty normal stuff i guess but there are some freaky things also.
Overall the info in that book is good to me,But the book in itself is just to LURE people to his website to buy his vitamins,or whatever he is pushin....

His "diet" is like the paleo diet ...fasting,and raw food combined....hope this makes sense.

The weight loss cures book is the same info..But he is telling people to inject themselves with HGH.The same crap that the stars use to get thin(it was rumored to be the "drug" in ANNA NICOLE when she died).
He says that you have to join his website to find out where to get it legally in the usa.......But that's not true either.......

the injections are Hcg for the weight loss just to clarify tks all
