	Impossible Weight-Loss Claims" Summary of an FTC Report
		To lose one pound of weight, according to a credible expert, the average individual needs a deficit of approximately 3,500 calories between caloric intake and caloric output.
		Accordingly, weight loss in the range of two pounds per week over periods of time beyond four weeks (eight or more pounds per month) without restricting caloric intake or increasing exercise is not now scientifically feasible [8].
		To lose two pounds per day, as stated in the sample ad, would require the malabsorption of 7000 calories per day, which is impossible given that it is several times the total calories that most people consume on a daily basis, let alone the number of calories consumed from just fat [14].
