miraculous way to dissolve away
fat.
"Everyone is just looking for
the easy way out, that's where
these fad drugs come from," said
k Dr. Henley Hurt of Columbia,
i. "The only way to really lose
t weight is to cut your caloric in,
take and increase your exercise
program."
But that doesn't stop the claim
gUl to do otherwise.
"Our products will actually
make you healthier," said Evelyn
Bailey, a distributor of Shakley's
products. "But the best thing is
that you keep the weight off."
Herbal Life distributor Rosa
Lambart guarantees a loss of 15
to 20 pounds in about three

Her battle began in the
seventh grade. She was almost
6-feet tall, but felt she should
weigh the same as her friends.
Now the 30-year-old woman
sits in a hospital room, still trying
to overcome her illness ?
anorexia nervosa ? which
caused her to drop from 138
Hnwn to 98 nonnds.
A She constantly planned how
. to avoid meals and thought of
ways she could make others
think she was eating more than
she actually was.
"I wouldn't go to a lot of
social things if they were
eating," she said. If she ate
something she thought she
shouldn't have, she would
make herself vomit.
Though she was always con
scious of her problem, it took
Iffcr almost twelve years to
realize it was something she
couldn't control on her own.
"A couple of real close
friends would say something 10

but water loss. You could put
every ounce of this back on in a
matter of days. They're too far
fetched in their guaranteed
results."
One can't stay on one of these
diet plans forever. Most of these
weight loss products caution not
to use the product for a prolonged
period of time.
"That should be a warning of
quackery," said Holly Knight, a
nurse at USC's Thomas Moore
Medical Clinic. "If you can't

people wouldn't say anything.
"It fell good not to eat, a
high feeling," she said.
She said anorexics often feel
that their bodies are different,
so they don't need as much
food as everyone else. "You
think your metabolism is faster
than everybody else's."
One thing that helped her was
a picture a nurse took ot her. "l
couldn't beleive I was that
thin," she said. "I could see it a
lot better than if I looked in the
mirror."
The woman said she was
treated at Duke University for
six weeks, but later had a
relapse. "I thought it was over,
that 1 wouldn't nave any more
problems," she said. "I felt like
I could go back to eating like I
did before and not lose the
weight.
"Now I know I can't skip a
meal, I can't just eat a salad.
I've got to do certain things just
like a diabetic has to do to keep
their health up."

She said most of the hospital's patients are
very depressed, have low self-esteem and are
perfectionists, obsessed with losing weight.

Richland Memorial Hospital, said she has
seen many patients who are too thin: a

6-foot female weighing 98 pounds; a 38-yearold
female weighing 68 pounds; and a
