I love the Diet Blog and just had to post this story from where I saw the end of it first.

Dr Phil Pays Out $10 Million.

If you remember Dr Phil after selling a few diet books that I believe did offer value, although it looked like he was really taking advantage of the market (optics, what else do we have to go on?) was sued about supplements and now settled.

I said then and I say now that I do think that Dr Phil does mean well although his attitude about “It’s all your fault” wore on me a long time ago. The issue here is not really Dr Phil and his diet or that he was pushing crappy supplements himself but I think the story should really be about supplements in general.

I take some vitamins and when I am working out hard I take in some Creatine and extra protein, but I keep seeing these diets and programs that mandate that you buy their product and it’s magic % or 6 dollar meal replacemnt drinks. Have you seen how much a big tub of protein powder that is not brand name costs?

I have read Body for Life by Bill Phillips many times and there is a lot that I like about the book but at the same time Bill Phillips does push his brand of supplements a lot in his book and he is not the first or last to do this. I think the best thing that a person could do for themselves is to learn everything that they need to about health and fitness and then go out and decide about supplements away from the guys that are promoting both exercise and supplements

Anyway I guess Dr Phil had what was coming and maybe some of the other guys that try to push supplements will think twice before offering miracles that the products can not deliver

Sleep is a big problem for a lot of people. I just ran across a story from last week that points out that many people are having trouble sleeping and are using alternative medicine, herbs, in order to fall asleep. The big story is supposed to be the use of herbs but the real story here is that people are getting insomnia on a much more regular basis then they were 20 or 30 years ago.

The reasons for insomnia and most common sleep disorders can be narrowed down to a few causes. If you would like to sleep better then you should leave work stress at work, no sugar and caffeine after 3:00 in the afternoon and regular exercise. Sure there are a lot of problems that can cause sleeping problems but by just doing these three things most people will find that there length and quality of sleep will improve dramatically.

One in six Americans frequently have difficulty falling asleep, and 4.5 percent of them use some type of alternative medicine to treat their sleeping problems, a new study shows.

“Most respondents who used herbal therapies or relaxation techniques found these therapies helpful for managing their insomnia or trouble sleeping,” Dr. Nancy J. Pearson and colleagues from the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine in Bethesda, Maryland report in the Archives of Internal Medicine.

Pearson and her team analyzed information from the 2002 National Health Interview Survey to find out how common sleeping difficulties were and how often people used alternative techniques to treat them.
