I want to know if dietstudy.com is kosher. It was advertised on the local radio along with other ads.I am skeptical.

I don't think it's legitimate.\nI did the questionnaire. No where does it ask how tall I am, what I weight, my body fat percentage or any "real" information that an actual study would need.  (I did try to enroll in a real study of weight loss at a hospital so I'm familiar with how it works.)\nI wrote down the confirmation number and took the survey again. I used all different answers. The confirmation number was the same.  To me, that's bogus.\nI did a quick search on "dietstudy.com and scam" and found out that when you call they ask for $300 upfront to "enroll" in the study.  No legitimate scientific study asks for money.

I suggest you guys try and ignore this mouthbreather.  He asks the same questions on Judaism over and over again, with slightly different (though consistently biased and misleading) wording. If you don't believe me, all I can say is that you can verify this for yourselves.  I sincerely doubt that he is here to learn anything, at least in this area (though I feel obliged to at least commend him on his appropriate choice of screenname).\n\nThis guy's online hobby is something called Jew-baiting.  So don't take the bait, as it were, by responding on his terms and lending legitimacy to his line of questioning (which is shallow and insensitive at best, or, more likely from what I've seen, deliberate bigotry).  He has a real problem with Jews.  I don't know if it stems from a negative personal experience with Jews, or if he was raised by klansmen, or what.  But he keeps asking these same questions, and when confronted with information that contradicts his assumptions, he becomes belligerent and disregards the new information anyway.\n\nI once explained to him that he was mistaken in his assertion that a Jew had to have "Jewish blood" because conversion has a history going back through biblical history, all the way to the first Hebrew himself.  This did not sway him in his irrational belief.  And if someone here were to point out that calling Judaism a "cult of ancestor worship" is inaccurate because\n\na) it's not considered a cult\n\nand\n\nb) worshipping anything other than G-d, one's ancestors included, is the most severe form of blasphemy according to Judaism\n\nI highly doubt this gentleman would be swayed on either point.  My advice is not to waste your time.  There are plenty of people on here asking questions about Judaism because they actually want to learn.  If you are qualified to answer, answer those people.  They'll actually benefit from it.

Sam C above is a spammer. Every answer he gives is identical and aimed at getting people to go to this website to make extra money. Sounds like a scam. Look at the rest of his answers in his profile. \n\n\nBeware!

YES AND IT SUCKED. I very STRONGLY advise you not to use diet pills in general, but Trim Spa I think is one of the worse ones. I tried it once and it made me sick for about a day. They say that the feeling only lasts for a day or so, and then you get used to it, but that is obviously not natural. If your body has a bad reaction then it's obviously not healthy for you in any way. Medications effect people differently however, and some people have felt no complications at all. But why take the risk of feeling bad and/or the obvious risk diet pills have for your health anyway? The best way to lose weight is to exercise and eat right, sorry to break it to you. But it's really not so hard to eat better once you start exercising. Exercise is the first step, and your exercise doesn't have to be as strenuous as some people say it is. It can actually be fun if you just find some way to make it fun for you and find a way to stick to it. You have to believe in yourself and know you have the power, and know you're WORTH it. You are strong. I am currently going to Curves, and surprisingly it's not that expensive and it's a pretty easy and very effective workout! I only pay 29$ a month. All in all it's great! Just a suggestion, if you're a woman that is...wow, this was a rather long answer on my part :)!

This is a rip off.  They sell you diet pills (which don't work usually) and then you are supposed to get people to buy diet pills off of you so that you can make money too.\n\nThe only real money being made by this scheme is the person that started the scheme in the first place. Everyone else is wasting their time and their money.\n\nYou can not lose weight in a bottle, its just not possible. Even the stuff you can get from your doctor only has minimal results and that stuff has been tested over and over again by the FDA.

Or crack down on a person who joined Q&A today and has copied the same advertisement for his online store under, what I seen sofar, three different names.  I last counted 18 times in 2 hours his answers which have nothing to do with the question asked!  At least spam on the email site goes into a folder where you don't have read it.\nWhew! Sorry I had to vent. He goes under the names hu h,y  g, and y uy y

It's a scam. Below is a link to one company who was prosecuted for selling such a product.\nThe fat blockers and carb blockers don't work. If it sounds like magic, it's not, it's just BS.

This question is an advertisement, and the web sites are a scam.

Hmmm...aren't you the clever one...using another's question you recently answered in your own referring to the 'corn in the poop'.  Is it your intention just to gross us out I wonder, or do you have real problems that need real help?  If so, I wish you the best of luck because this is sick.\n\nPS...yes, people are sadly gullible, as you have proved...reference your answer to how you 'sweat your *ss off by throwing on a couple of sweaters' to the person who asked about cardio workout and it is obvious you are not being real here.  \n\nPEOPLE  take note...this crap is fake!

I was intrigued by your question and wanted to further investigate this web site.  My first impression of the website was that it looked like it had been put together by a team of Jr. high web class students.  The web site looked extemely un-proffesional and looked like it had been put together with out much thought.  First red flag, Any company with enough money to pay employees hundreds to thousands of dollars for a few hours of work, could deffinatly hire a proffesional web desinger to create a decent home page.  Did you notice a lack of out side links The only link i found that took you any where was one that took you to "consumer reporter.org.  I must admit by this time i thought well if they have a major consumer reporting company endorsing their company maybe they are the real deal.  I guess i wasn't too surprised to find that "consumerreporter.org" was obviously a site made by these guys to make their company look good.  The same crapy designs, the same poor acting testimonials, cheesy lines, poor images (the icons they have aren't even links, shouldn't those take you somewhere?  or maybe they just didn't want their page to look plain), I also thought that it was interesting that the only product this supposed company has ever done a consumer report on is Itidata.  you couldn't see any other reports on their page!!!  Sounds like a scam to me.  Interested in some of the icons i found on their web site (the ones that dont take you any where i decided to investigate and find out what those sites where, I was surprized to find out that they were real legit sites.  I did a search to see what they said about this web site and almost fell off my seat laughing when i saw what they themselves had led me to.  Here is a letter from a lady who was unsatisfied with this company, you can find this letter on your own by going to www.complaints.com and typing in ITIdata in the search field, well here it is:\n\nMarch 2, 2006 \n\nHello,\nMy name is Mira and I would sincerely appreciate it if you could help me out. Please take the time to read this and find an honest solution. I purchased the itidata training manual after visiting the site consumerreporter.org and the www.itidata.org site. After downloading the manual and reading it very carefully, I realize that the information promised does not appear to be anywhere. The instructions for settting up a clickbank account are there and the link to the clickbank website is there but, no links to the the names of the companies listed on the itidata website. After attempting to follow the directions and sign up with these sites I realize that they ask for a website on which you can place their ads by cutting and pasting their links or they ask you to sign up with other sites by purchaing advertising tools and space. I would like to point out that the manual strictly says you dont need your own website for this and it also says you don't have to be an expert at using the internet and it also says that no extra costs would be incurred. But going to these sites I see just that. I searched for a member area on the site and called their 713-866-6212 number but found no help as promised to their members...they say to call from 9-5 central time and I called 5-6 times between those hours but got \nonly a recording. There is no response to my email which they say they would reply to in 24 hours.\nI don't know what to do anymore. I have studied the manual 5-6 times but this is all that it says.\nI can only pray that I have not been scammed. The truth is I am a part time student with a minimum salary and new to the country. I don't have money to throw away especially this kind. I need to become financially independent and am not looking to earn obscene amounts of cash. But I would love to have \na legit and regular way of doing this. I would like to get started ASAP on this and I request you to help me. I have full faith that as a consumer protection org y

It is indeed a scam. If everyone would do everything you can (file complaints at bbb.org, usps.com, consumer affairs, etc) I bet this place would be shut down.

I think the site is great(I can't belive it used to be a pay site) My girlfreind and I both use it.  It is a great way of keeping track of what you eat, and a pretty fair job of keeping track of calories burned.  Lots and lots of info, recipies, exersises...ect.  I would recommend it to anyone who is having trouble losing weight, or just needs a little nudge in the right direction. In the 2 weeks I have been involved, I have really learned to change my eating habits.  Having all of your data there in front of you keeps you motivated.

I have tried a lot of "fat burners" from my experience (I lost more than 70lbs). I can tell you that most of those products are just marketing hype.\n\nSome of them may be efficient and but when my personal training clients asked me about "fat burners" I tell them that before you buy anything to take a look at Will Brink's Diet Supplements Revealed . \n\nActually right now, They are giving away free extracts from the e-book so you can see inside at exactly what products is being reviewed. He'll tell you what really works and what is just *marketing hype*\n\nJust go here \nhttp://snipurl.com/nwtc\n\nThey will send you the extract's immediately.\n\nhttp://www.charlesblain.com
