I guess the main problem I have with this is that LC longterm will work without the fat burners....we all agree that this WOE is for a lifetime...also the price of some of these items are exorbitant...and yes par example (Pentabosol)...not within the budget of the average Joe...what happens to the individuals when they decide they cannot afford to buy the supplement any longer !?!?!?....I suspect many of these authors are making sufficient money from the sale of their books alone...then there's the talk circuit...we have all seen the infomercials for LC videos and packages on TV...when I see this marketed for a big price whereas an individual can buy a LC book for let's say ten to fifteen dollars and get the same results it makes me cringe...it's no wonder the credibility of these LC diet authors start to waver and thus the reason for the comment by the media, " Ahhh, Yeah, another quick fix fad diet"...just my thoughts....
