Omni and its founders and associates have been the center of law suits, including one that went to class action level surrounding allegations of being an illegal pyramid scheme. Their only defense was "We do what Amway does, and Amway wasn't found to be illegal"

There is no scientific evidence that shows HCG does anything to suppress your appetite, "re-set" your hypothalumus, or "teach your body to burn unnatural fat deposits for energy and nutrition". You are losing weight because you are only consuming 500 calories a day. This is dangerous, unhealthy, and not sustainable long term. A recent study by the National Institute of Health on people who lost a significant amount of weight in a short amount of time showed that their metabolisms were permanently altered - for the worse. They now have to consume significantly fewer calories in order to not gain weight, upwards of 500-800 less than other people of their size. Not only that, but their levels of Leptin, a hormone that tells you you're full, had drastically reduced as well.

Your heart can, and will, be affected by not enough potassium and calcium.

Your bones can, and will, be affected by not enough calcium.

Your muscles can, and will, be affected by not enough protein.

Your brain can, and will, be affected by not enough fat.

The vitamin supplement alone is not enough to make up for what you are taking away.

The tactics of this company and its distributors are shady at best, and practically unethical. You are all preying on people's biggest insecurities and gambling with their health. All while using loopholes in marketing strategies to avoid legal recourse.
