Has anyone seen what this website is claiming? Found it doing a Google search for body fat calculators. Seems far too good to be true, yet the site sounds sensible. Scary. Anyone know more about them?
http://www.bodyweightloss.com

Never heard of them. But 3-5 pound loss per DAY? My first thought was "Which body part are they going to lop off?"

I would love to hear what others have to say, but I will relegate this to a "If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is" category

metabolically, there is a limit to how much weight a person can lose. for women, it's 1.5 pounds of fat per week.

Anything more than that is water or lean body mass--your muscles, bones, heart, liver, etc. Not good news.

I plugged Pure Health International into the search engine at Diet Fraud and found this:

Another reference I found doing a web search for PHI:

Looks to good to be true? It is.

It had to be, for the reasons Razzle gives. I just have never come across this sort of thing before - its done well, talks about the right sort of things and gives guarantees. Looked at the first site you gave and its clear that this is pretty much standard, there are loads of these scams. I didn't believe they could be legal, but it seems governments aren't stopping them - why, they'd stop it, it someone was trying to sell you TV's that didn't work wouldn't they?
Thanks again Nat, for your amazing research powers. Jay

This is too funny. It's sad that some people are so desparate that they would actually fall for it.

The part where he lists the famous clients was the most hilarious! Notice that when he mentions "our clients" it is underlined so as to say that the famous clients aren't his clients.

My thoughts are that this web site may be one of those terrorist underground sites where there are underlying messages. Remember when the Sept 11 attack too place they showed e-mails and web sites where the terrorists sent secret messages under pictures. The one that sticks to my mind was the interior of the airplane shown under a Mona Lisa. Unless you knew the code, you would never have known it was there.

Now I am begining to sound like one of my DD's schizo clients. I need a time out! Where's that cup of green tea.

What is it for men? I seem to have been losing about 1/2 pound per day. Of course, I am a man and we all know that men are... Just kidding! (No you cannot add your own ending! haha)

Am I losing too fast or could this just be water? It's been fairly steady. Given, I have decided to only weigh in once a week now so I'm not sure what I'm at today.
