Kevin Trudaeu Being A Scam Artist Doesn’t Mean the HCG Diet Doesn’t Work
October 31, 2008
In case you missed it the first million times, the HCG Diet first gained in popularity (even though it’s been around for 50+ years) when Kevin Trudeau made it the centerpiece of ‘The Weight Loss Cure’ book he wrote.
Many people discredit the HCG Diet by associating Kevin Trudeau as the creator of this diet protocol, when (admittedly) his credibility is suspect, having a long history of consumer deception.
Read the full article at the ConsumerReports.org blog (partial quote from that article below) for details on the latest.
It should be noted that the reason Kevin Trudeau resorted to selling a book instead of an actual product was previous convictions prevent him from hocking wares anymore, but he found a loophole that doesn’t prevent him from selling books instead of actual products!
“The contempt citation they do want you to know about
A federal court has upheld its previous civil contempt ruling against author Kevin Trudeau, banning him from producing or broadcasting self-promoting infomercials for three years and ordering him to pay the nearly $5.2 million estimated royalties from his book, “The Weight Loss Cure ‘They’ Don’t Want You to Know About.”
The Aug. 7, 2008 order, from the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, rejected an effort by Trudeau to have the court reverse its 2007 contempt ruling. In that decision, based on a complaint by the Federal Trade Commission, the court found that Trudeau violated a 2004 order requiring him to stop misrepresentations in infomercials for the book.
The judge said Trudeau had made clear misrepresentations about how easy and simple the book’s diet protocol is. For example, his infomercial claims that dieters who complete “Phase 4” of the four-phase protocol can eat anything they want, but the book says that they must eat “only 100% organic food” and avoid brand name food, fast food, or food served by regional or national restaurants.”
