Expert Profile: Reverend Abbott

Expertise:  I will research every question and if unable to answer it, will at least reference one or more options

Experience in the area
I've lost (& gained)HUNDREDS of lbs over a lifetime, more than 30 years of "professional dieting". Presently a counselor for sufferers of eating disorders, a nutritional advisor and spiritual counselor (Reverend,doctor); I've been on every diet there is and used the most bizarre weight loss products you can imagine. I am FORMERLY obese, anorexic (several times), bulimic MOST of the time - and maintaining size 4, with no gimmicks, devices, programs, pills or supplements.

I currently investigate the diet industry on behalf of consumers who do not need to be ripped off while struggling to be healthy. I WILL expose them all and I WON'T be intimidated, bullied or bought. My advice is for cost-free options. I have nothing whatsoever to gain from my recommendation(s). I make no money from my website and I sell, promote, endorse NO diet/health products, programs or devices. You'll also never see me on the receiving end of a hidden camera report...but you can be assured, I won't quit until I've exposed those who are out to take advantage of you.

It's a matter of choices. We need to stop complicating things.


Degrees & Certifications:
I'm an ordained minister (Reverend, doctor) spiritual/living/behavior counselor.

I have a medical education and management background (with college). Through early 90's (until retirement) Who's Who Of American Women; Who's Who On the East Coast; Who's Who Among Emerging American Leaders; Who's Who Of Intellectuals - all for "outstanding performance in (my) field".



Organizations
While active (through the 1980's), included in Who's Who Of American Women; Who's Who On the East Coast; Who's Who Among Emerging American Leaders; Who's Who Of Intellectuals - all for "outstanding performance in (my) field".

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  When a diet/health company accumulates enough fraud charges, they re-incorporate under a different name, repackage their product, re-name it and get another address (virtually ALL of them work out of a mail box location that can appear to be a street address) and they just keep going. Most of these places, regardless of their mailing address, are out-of-country owners.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  Until the day I breathe my last breath I will work to expose the diet/health industry fraud and scams that currently take in MORE than $40 BILLION per year! They promise that perfect diet, magic pill, powder, plan, program and device. They claim they care. They lie. They cheat. They steal. They are predators.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject  As fast as the diet industry increases it's promotions, pills and products - the waistline of America keeps going up as well. The "low fat" diet craze of the 1990's resulted in one of the quickest bursts of weight gain in history. It looks like the "low carb" garbage is doing the exact same thing according to early statistics.
