504.0. "Thermogenesis" by MSDOA::MCMULLIN () Wed Aug 30 1989 14:32

    I received a letter in the mail the day before yesterday from some
    DR. that claims that he has discovered a pill to speed up your
    metabolism by increasing your Thermogenisis (sp?).  It is guaranteed
    that if you do not lose all the weight you want to in one month
    that they'll refund your money ($39.95 for a month).  They also
    state that if you do lose all the weight you want to in the month
    that they'll send you another 30 day supply absouloutely free (I
    guess to take if you start putting weight on again).  The only thing
    it didn't state was if it stayed off if you continued to eat good,
    etc.  Anyone else get anything like this?  Any comments or questions?
    I don't have the letter with me at work today, but I'll bring it
    in tomorrow if anyone has any questions that I don't know the answer
    to today.  I've been seriously thinking about this, because I KNOW
    my metabolism is super slow.

504.2Hey you, I gotta deal for'yaHSOMAI::CAMPBELLPWed Aug 30 1989 17:3812
    There are no free lunches!  You didn't gain the weight overnight, you
    won't lose it overnight either.
    
    Please stay away from these "quick weight loss" schemes.  There have
    been some horrible results documented about them.  Some of these pills
    are nothing more than sugar/milk tablets....that's if you're lucky
    because some of them are deadly---they're contaminated with high levels
    of zinc, lead, and God only knows waht else.
    
    Let's lose it the old fashioned way----burn it!
