Just yesterday, Clark told you how there are
new standards for bloggers and celebrities pitching products. Now similar restrictions are being extended to the makers of weigh-loss supplements and other dietary supplements.
Historically, when you've seen an ad for a weight-loss supplement, you were probably wowed by the person on the screen telling you how much weight they lost without exercising. Yet if you looked closely, you'd also see a message stating that "results are not typical."
Therein lies the crux of the new rules; they'll now have to tell you what typical results are like. No more parading out the most unusual successes and trying to convince you that they are customary. This new rule should go into effect ahead of Christmas.
Now, where are the regulations on ads for exercise equipment? It seems every man you see looks like all he does is work out. And the women aren't exactly anatomically correct; they look more like pumped-up Barbie dolls, according to Clark!
Of course, the real answer to the whole question here is to reduce the number of calories you consume and exercise everyday. If you do that a true miracle will happen: You'll get thinner and you'll be in much better shape.
