LISA, A DIET MASTERS MEMBER, LOST 16 POUNDS IN 10 WEEKS. SHE WAS INVITED TO A WEDDING AND WAS EXCITED BY SOME MATERIAL THAT WAS SENT TO HER IN THE MAIL PROMISING HER A FAST WEIGHT LOSS. THIS IS THE REST OF THE STORY.
THE REST OF THE STORY
She brought a full page ad that was sent to her through the mail and someone had written the following words on top of the upper right hand side: "Lisa, try this, it works." This material looked like a friend sent it.
At the end of our meeting she took me aside and showed me that the ad promised an almost effortless way to lose 50 pounds in 3 months and told me that she had sent away for the material. She proposed to take some time off from classes and I wished her luck.
Lisa called me about one month later and confided that she had really 'been taken'. She ended up spending $352 for shake drinks and pills that were said to reduce appetites . The pills were dangerous. They caused Lisa, who was a young woman, to have heart palpitations.In addition to this, she was expected to live on shakes alone. To ad insult to injury, she had stopped taking the shakes and had regained the 5 pounds that she lost on this unhealthy diet.
