PRODUCTS TO AVOID - BRANDS TO BOYCOTT

It is our opinion that there are at least two good reasons to avoid/boycott these brands and products:

1.    Among these products are the ones Oprah and Bob claim she uses/used to lose weight on the Best Life Diet. Clearly she has gained weight. Therefore, the logical conclusion is that consuming these products results in weight gain, not weight loss, and that they should be avoided by anyone intending to lose weight.

2.    We remain of the opinion that Bob and Oprah are running a confidence game - they lure you in by gaining your trust, then deceive you with falsified ads and untruthful sales pitches (e.g., the images and text in their ads, such as Oprah's testimonial/endorsement on the Best Life Diet website). We opine that it is not a good idea to support con men and con women and the brands/products that affiliate with/support them.

 

 
The brands listed below are Best Life partners. Below them are the products promoted by carrying the Best Life seal.

According to Bob and Oprah, the promoted products "fit right into the Best Life way of eating."

You can see what the "Best Life way of eating" has done for Oprah.
