FDA v. Hydroxycut (finally!)

Really? Is this just happening? The following NY Times article states that the FDA is urging consumers to stop using Hydroxycut diet aids. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/02/business/02fda.html?_r=1&ref=nutrition

Dear FDA, is it news to you that Hydroxycut is extremely dangerous, not to mention a cruel way to tease and taunt consumers about safe, effective, results-oriented weight loss?

Hydroxycut and other diet pills/potions aren't worth it. Get back to the basics:

*Listen to your body.

*Feed yourself when your stomach says "I'm hungry". Stop when you've had enough.

*Practice daily self-care to avoid stuffing, starving, binging, purging or compulsive dieting.

*Find movement you enjoy, and complement that with cardio/strength/flexibility training.

*Be grateful for all the ways your body, heart, mind and spirit move you.
