Thank you very much for the sting exposure on weight loss product scams. I was researching content for my articles when I chanced upon your website and have discovered a goody haul of information which will help me STAY AWAY from endorsing and recommending products and services that are designed to lighten peoples’ pockets instead of solving their weighty problems.
JUST TO FRUSTRATED WITH ALL THESE DIETS ICOULD SCREAM. TRIED THEM ALL…JUST KEEP GETTING BIGGER. STARTING TO THINK I NEED TO TRY JUST GETTING HEALTHYIER.
you think everyone would figure it out- if all this stuff really worked you wouldn’t see so many heavy people everywhere. it seems like everywhere you go (in my town anyway) like 90% of the poulaion has a serious weight problem. its actually kind of scary.
This vlog is like onle long ice cold truth shower. Got to say I find it pretty refrshing. Thanks.
Thanks for explaining all these scams. I wish you had been doing this for the last couple of decades. would have saved me thousands……
Your vids are 100% true. Verrrrrrry eye-opening.
Was waiting for this one. Been seeing signs for these patches plastered all over telephone poles around town and they had me curious and i was actuallt thinking about calling the number. should have known the idea was to easy to be true. thanx for saving me from myself.
