Skinny Pill – The Skinny Pill Diet is based on Edita Kaye’s Skinny Pills, which you take twice a day.  The food plan is based on the premise that you should eat your carbs and fiber for breakfast, take a Skinny Pill, then concentrate on healthful protein for your other meals of the day.  And you take another pill after dinner.  If you stray from the carbs-in-the-morning plan, then there is another pill you are encouraged to take to “protect” you from getting fat.

These pills have no basis in scientific fact, and have been savaged by several news organizations, particularly CNN.  Edita Kaye was targeting children with a Kid’s version of the Skinny Pill, and experts were concerned because there was no testing done on children.  Here is one sample article on this product: http://archives.cnn.com/2002/HEALTH/diet.fitness/12/09/skinny.pills/

In addition to the absence of testing, nutritionists have warned that a few ingredients in the Skinny Pill that will act as diuretics (removers of body fluids), which could be very harmful to children, potentially exacerbating kidney problems and/or electrolyte imbalances.

The food plan here also lacks clinical support, and her food combinations do nothing to educating overweight customers about eating right in the long term.

And the price of the pills is very high.

This is scam. Stay away.
