Watch Out for Promises of Quick And Easy Weight Loss

Fad diets aren't good because they often call for too much or too little of one type of food. As a result, you may not get important nutrients you need daily.

Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't true.

Before Signing Up For a Weight Loss Program, Ask Questions

Does the Company:
•	Explain possible health risks from weight loss?
•	Explain all costs?
•	Include weight control over a long time?
•	Have proof of success, not just praise by other people?
•	Give a clear, truthful statement of how you're going to lose weight, including how much and how fast?
•	Teach how to eat healthfully and exercise more?

Do you have more questions about weight loss? Ask your doctor.

And ask FDA. There may be an FDA office near you. Look for the number in the blue pages of the phone book.

You can also contact FDA through its toll-free number, 1-888-INFOFDA (1-888-463-6332). Or, on the World Wide Web at www.fda.gov
