Weight loss claims -Only loosen ur pockets




Cause weight loss of 2 pounds or more a week for a month or more without dieting or exercise. There’s just no getting around it: ads that claim you can lose weight without diet or exercise are false. To lose weight, you must lower your intake of calories and increase your physical activity


  • Cause substantial weight loss no matter what or how much the consumer eats. Be wary of any diet ads that claim you can lose weight no matter what kind of food you chow down on or what size portions you dish out. Part of adopting a healthy lifestyle is learning about proper portion control. You can’t eat unlimited quantities of any food and still lose weight.

  • Cause permanent weight loss (even when the consumer stops using the product). The truth is that the only way to achieve permanent weight loss is to follow a healthy meal plan and exercise on a regular basis. Unless you incorporate a permanent lifestyle change, weight loss will not be lasting.

  • Block the absorption of fat or calories to enable consumers to lose substantial weight. The so-called “fat blockers” are products such as pills that allegedly promote weight loss by blocking or absorbing fat. No product can block enough fat or calories to cause substantial weight loss. According to the FTC, even a legitimate fat blocker must be used along with a reduced-calorie diet to be effective.

  • Safely enable consumers to lose more than 3 pounds per week for more than four weeks. When you are trying to lose weight, it is important to meet your body’s nutritional needs by following a healthy meal plan. Health experts generally recommend adopting a weight-loss goal of 1 to 2 pounds per week. Losing more than 2 pounds per week is not considered healthy. Research also shows that the faster you lose weight, the more likely you are to gain it back.

  • Cause substantial weight loss for all users. In spite of what these advertisers might promise, there is just no one-size-fits-all solution for slimming down. You aren’t buying a pair of socks or a ball cap here. It is important to find a healthy meal plan and exercise program that works for you.

  • Cause substantial weight loss by wearing it on the body or rubbing it into the skin. This category includes products, such as diet patches, topical creams and lotions, body wraps, special clothing, rings, earrings and even body belts. According to the FTC, any ad claiming that people can lose even a pound a week with the use of such devices is false.
