QuestionIn your opinion, do you consider weight loss pills effective?
AnswerHi Lauren, thanks for giving me this opportunity to hopefully save you a lot of time and money.
The diet/weight loss industry in the U.S. alone rakes in more than $40 BILLION every year. At the same time, the U.S. population's weight problem grows significantly worse every year. The two ARE connected.
There isn't a single product on the market, over-the-counter, that is known to actually work. The so called studies the products claim are associated with it are sometimes completely fabricated and in nearly every other instance, are funded BY the product manufacturer with results that aren't flattering, thrown out.
Since this industry isn't regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, they've been behaving without much consequence until people file claims with Better Business Bureau's, Attorney General's Offices, Consumer Protection agencies and more - when enough complaints are filed the company usually files bankruptcy and re-opens under a different name. They'll repackage their worthless product and re-do their ads.
$40 BILLION per year, every year. Stunning isn't it?
Next time you notice an ad for ANY weight loss product, freeze frame the tiny disclaimer that's buried at the lower part of the screen and nearly impossible to read. It says, in effect that the product's claimed results are "not typical" and if achieved is done when in combination with "a low calorie diet and exercise program".
There are several products that in real, scientific and no-ulterior motive studies have been shown to actually cause LESS weight loss (or even weight gain) than if a low calorie diet and exercise program was undertaken by itself.
Whether or not these products work isn't really a matter of opinion - when you research the truth and the facts - the proof is ongoing that no, they don't.
