Olympic Ski Team Diet

Misconceptions

A diet called the Alpine Ski Diet became popular in the 1970s. This diet had nothing to do with the US Ski Team. The marketers of this high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet claimed that followers who adhered to the plan could lose 20 pounds in two weeks. All you had to do was send $2 to an address in Alpine, Calif. In September of 1972, the Consumer Protection Division of The United States Postal Office ruled that these claims constituted false representation. A mail stop order was issued. The weight loss allegations were not the only falsehoods associated with this diet.The diet's minimal carbohydrates and high protein indicates that it would not provide sufficient fuel for Olympic skiers.

This proceeding was initiated by the filing by the General Counsel for the United States Postal Service, the Complainant, of a complaint on July 28, 1972, in which the Respondent, Alpine Ski Diet, Alpine, California, is charged with conducting a scheme or device for obtaining money or property through the mails by means of false representations in violation of Title 39, United States Code 3005.

THE ALLEGED REPRESENTATIONS

The charges in the complaint in this proceeding are relatively brief and they read as follows:

(a) That an individual can lose 20 pounds in two weeks by following the Women's Alpine Ski Team Diet;

(b) That the dieter will experience no feeling of weakness or hunger while adhering to the diet because the basis of the diet is chemical;

(c) That the diet was devised by a famous Colorado physician especially for U. S. Skiers; and is used by official U. S. Ski Teams during the off season to get and stay in shape;

(d) That the diet is specially formulated to allow the dieter to maintain his normal energy while reducing; and

(e) That the diet is easy to follow by all individuals under all circumstances.

Never done this one, but I'll tell you a top secret, miracle diet that my guru told me about that has worked wonders for not only me, but millions of other people.

1. Set a reasonable, moderate caloric deficit. (approximately 250 calories less than what you should be eating per day, while burning approximately 250 calories as well)
2. Weigh your food, and keep track of how much you are eating with a good, digital food scale.
3. Choose a form of exercise that you enjoy and do it for 30 to 60 minutes a day, at least 3-5 times a week.
