Don’t give the celebrities the benefit of the doubt

Even though you might be a fan of certain celebrities for their body of work in cinema, music and the arts, you shouldn’t give them the benefit of the doubt when it comes to products they endorse. Usually what happens is the celebrities are just paid off to put their names on the products and do a 30-second commercial spot; they don’t actually have a hand in the development of the product.

This appears to be the case with Somersize, which is a diet plan for those who wish to slim down, lose weight and keep it off. The company offers resources and products to help you reach your goals, but it might be asking too much: You have to participate in a low-carb diet that drastically reduces your caloric intake. Some have even criticized this approach as borderline starvation.
