Weight loss patches have been the latest craze in weight loss programs, but are they any good? Are they safe? Can they give you weight loss results fast and easy, or do they just take your money and do nothing at all? In this article, we review some of the biggest weight loss patch scams currently available on the market, so you’ll know which products to avoid and which ones to go with instead.

A short story about that time I tried the Scam

I was down in South Beach, visiting from my Chicago. One night, I was out with a girl named Rose. We ended up at a bar, and I fell into conversation with her friend Charlotte. Charlotte had an amazing body - perfect skin and huge green eyes that made her seem like she could swallow you whole. She smiled as I told her how beautiful she was, then glanced down at my belt buckle; it was easy to see what she wanted. I would've fucked her right there if not for two things: First, I'd only just met Rose; it wouldn't have been fair to throw away our budding friendship in favor of sex with someone we didn't even know.

Why the scam works

Shady supplement companies give weight loss patches a bad name. Too bad that most consumers have no idea that many diet patches are perfectly safe, or even helpful for weight loss. Natural solutions to weight problems do exist! Phentramin-D is one of them and it has been shown in several studies to help people lose more weight than those who use diet pills without it. Its mechanism of action makes it perfect for those looking to lose stubborn belly fat because it works on receptors in fat cells instead of targeting receptors in your brain as other supplements do. This means you can take it as part of a balanced diet, no matter what your calorie intake is without worrying about side effects like jitters or insomnia (both common with many supplements).

How the scam works

Many weight loss products and dietary supplements come in patch form. These patches contain caffeine, appetite suppressants, and other chemicals that are supposed to help you lose weight faster than usual. But beware: most of these patches are just scams. Several popular patches have been banned in many countries because they're dangerous and ineffective. One such example is Alli®, which contains Orlistat (also known as Xenical). While it may be effective at helping some people lose a little bit of weight, it can also cause gastrointestinal problems like diarrhea and severe abdominal pain—and these side effects only increase if you eat fatty foods while taking Alli®.

Why you should be suspicious of any diet patch

The FDA has approved Ephedra and Acai Berry as dietary supplements only. However, they are not approved to assist with weight loss or any other medical purposes. When you purchase diet patches and continue to buy them year after year, it’s time to question whether or not they work at all. Many of these diet patches come from companies that do not have scientific evidence proving that their product does anything at all. Many of these products can cause additional side effects like dizziness and heart palpitations when used long-term without following a healthy diet plan or performing moderate exercise regularly. It is important to consult your doctor before using any new weight loss products including diet patches because they can be dangerous if used incorrectly.

How to avoid scams in general

If a product sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If a person guarantees that you’ll lose weight and doesn’t give you a ton of information on how they can deliver on their promise, then you should take that as a huge red flag. If your gut tells you not to trust someone or something, go with it. Trust your instincts and do what makes sense for your health and well-being. They are usually right! Be smart with your money and make an educated decision; if there is any doubt in your mind about making a purchase online or over the phone, then walk away from it! There are plenty of legitimate ways to lose weight without spending money on anything other than food—just remember not all methods are created equal.

Conclusion - So what should you do instead?

The Internet is full of sites claiming to offer help and support for people looking to lose weight, but more often than not they are nothing more than scam websites that want your money. While many online sites will tell you their product is 100% safe, there have been serious side effects reported by people who use these products. If you or someone you know is considering using a product that helps you lose weight without changing your diet or exercise routine, don’t waste your time—it’s a scam. Instead of putting money toward a so-called weight loss patch, consult your doctor about what changes you can make to your diet and exercise routine.

Be skeptical - but stay optimistic!

While it’s easy to fall for hyped-up weight loss pills and patches that claim to blast fat fast, if you dig a little deeper, you may realize that these products aren’t backed by real science. Worse yet, many of them are based on outlandish claims. For example, green coffee bean extract is supposedly chock full of antioxidants and can help burn fat; however, according to research conducted at Michigan State University in East Lansing (MSU), results were inconclusive: No significant effects of GCBE were observed after 12 weeks on body weight or body composition parameters. So while there may be a kernel of truth to many anti-obesity supplements out there, don't let dubious claims convince you otherwise.

Disclosure information.

Before we get started, it’s important to note that, for most of us at least, supplements are useless for weight loss. Supplements are touted as a way to help boost metabolism and suppress appetite to lose weight, but research suggests that they simply don’t work when it comes to losing weight. A 2012 review of studies found that people who took supplements containing acai berry or green coffee beans didn’t lose any more weight than those who took placebos. Another study published in JAMA Internal Medicine suggested that green coffee bean extract doesn’t help you lose any more weight than a placebo pill.
