Kelly Preston Hypes Sketchy Kirstie Alley Diet Products

By Celebrity Health & Fitness, November 30th, 2011

kellypreston1 Kelly Preston Hypes Sketchy Kirstie Alley Diet Products Kelly Preston is heaping praise for her post-birth weight loss on Bff Kirstie Alley’s new diet plan. But Alley’s Organic Liaison products have the earmarks of a diet scam and a curious connection to the Church of Scientology.

The Church of Scientology, to which both Alley and Preston belong, appears to have an interest in the products.

The company’s Florida address is shared by the firm’s accountant, Saul B Lipson, a known Scientologist. His company is approved by the church and based near its headquarters in Clearwater, Fla.

Preston says she’s lost 39 pounds since giving birth to her third child, Benjamin, in November last year, overcoming concern whether her body would bounce back after getting pregnant at age 48.

“I was so excited when my best friend created Rescue Me…It’s pretty much the most genius thing ever,” she told People, crediting Kirstie’s Organic Liaison weight loss plan.

While the products Alley is pushing are too new to have undergone extensive testing, early reports have raised red flags about the effectiveness of the products.

The Organic Liaison site has no references to any scientific research that can prove this plan is beneficial to weight loss, although it claims the products are “USDA certified” organic.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) not the Department of Agriculture typically oversees diet products and food supplements.

The expensive supplements do not list ingredients. The program also requires automatic monthly billing. Both are diet industry red flags.

The complete monthly plan, which includes an online component plus the supplements costs $119 a month after an initial payment of $139.

The kit contains three supplements, “Rescue Me,” a detox and appetite suppresser, “Release Me,” a “relaxant” and “Nightingale,’ asleep aid.

Cheaper plans are offered, but the cost does not include the supplements, according to the site.

Like most sketchy diet products, Alley claims her plan can curb “cravings and boosts natural energy.”

The ingredients in the organic elixir “gently cleanse your body and replenish key nutrients naturally while you lose weight” the product claims.

Likely the real success to Kelly’s weight loss was her extensive workout routine. She says she exercised up to two hours a day.

Most nutrionists say a balance diet, reasonable portions and regular exercise are the best way to lose weight.

Preston and husband John Travolta tragically lost their son Jett, 16, two years ago after he suffered a fatal seizure during a family holiday in the Bahamas.

Kelly praised Scientology for helping her cope with the ordeal, so you know where her head is at.

Alley has become a wight-loss phenom after losing 100 pounds. But it’s a shame to see her use her name to promote questionable products.

And she really needs to explain the Scientology connection.

Organic Liaisons is not only an expensive cookie cutter diet fad preying on those desperate to get their weight under control but it also supports the abusive, corrupt and corrupting church of scientology by providing an income for Kirstie Alley who gives it to the church of scientology.

Kirstie like most adherents to the church of scientology is a well meaning person. People get in to the church of scientology because they want help with their lives. They also usually want to help others. The church of scientology teaches them that the only way to get help and to help others is by using scientology.

Once the adherent believes that the only way to get help and help others is through scientology the church of scientology changes the emphasis from helping to buying and selling church of scientology merchandises.

The church of scientology produces all its merchandise in house very cheaply, often using cheap “religious” workers (volunteers or below minimum wage workers). They sell the merchandise to adherents as solutions to theirs’ and the worlds’ problems. They also hard sell.

The church of scientology is always having funding drives to get adherents to buy merchandise. They also have funding drives to get adherents to fund buying buildings too. All these activities serve one purpose, to get more money for the church of scientology which benefits the leader, David Miscavige.

There is a growing number of independent scientologists. These are people who still believe in scientology but have recognised that the church of scientology is an abusive and corrupt organisation. The church of scientology spends a lot of time and money trying to suppress these people.

Kirstie may believe in what she is doing with Organic Liaisons although she was likely put up to it by someone more cynical. She likely also sincerely believes in the church of scientology too.

Organic Liaisons is just another expensive diet fad. The only way to loose weight is to eat fewer calories than you use and some people for various genetic reason will find it harder to do than others. There is however currently no magic cure, even radical surgery has mixed results.
