The 12-step chocoholics program: NEVER BE MORE THAN 12 STEPS AWAY FROM CHOCOLATE! [bULK] Dr. Phil Importance: Low Dr. Phil suit class-action suit settled. An agreement has been reached to settle a lawsuit against psychologist Phil McGraw and a company through which he marketed dietary supplements and meal-replacement products under the " Shape Up! " brand name. The suit, filed in Los Angeles in 2004, alleged that McGraw falsely claimed that the products would cause weight loss by promoting fat metabolism and reducing carbohydrate cravings and appetite swings. The products, which cost about $120 for a month's supply, were supposedly tailored for the person's " body type, " a concept that has no scientific support. The settlement agreement calls for the establishment of a recover fund will be established consisting of $6.0 million of Nutrilite Daily Multivitamin Multimineral, 6-month supply, and $4.5 million in cash, out of which all costs and attorneys fees will be paid. McGraw will have no personal obligation to contribute to the Fund. The agreement provides benefits to people who can establish that they bought Shape Up! products on or before July 1, 2006. It also provides benefits to certain charitable organizations to be selected by the parties and approved by the court.
