It seem that everywhere you look, someone is claiming to have a ‘new’ dieting aid – with The Pink Patch being the latest in a long line.
With heavy and risky advertising on MSN’s home page and FaceBook, this company are making outrageous claims about the effects of their product – ‘Get Skinny’ and ‘Lose 2 stone in a Month’ are among the most noticeable.
What is it?
Basically it is a combination of ingredients with well known actions – like appetite suppression and the ability to break down fats – combined into a slow release ‘patch’ – similar to a Nicorette patch.
As we know that these ingredients are used in many other diet aids, it’s not to difficult to see that they could be of use in weight loss. But what makes the Pink Patch so different?
Well, it’s claiming that it’s easier for us ladies because we don’t have to ‘worry’ about when to take pills, or forcing ourselves to eat a salad instead of a bar of chocolate because this natural remedy takes care of all that for us and we can just carry on enjoying our lives.
As expected, there are a few clangers way down the bottom of their sales page which make you realise just how similar it actually is to any other diet plan:
Expect to lose between 1-1.5lbs a week
Use with a sensible diet
Use with regular exercise
Don’t drink alcohol – except for the odd glass of red wine (if you have to)
Only have one glass of coffee a day
Drink plenty of water
Does it work?
I firmly believe that if you really want to lose weight, you would do all these things anyway, and without having to buy these patches (or any pills for that matter). The appetite suppressant may seem like the answer for many women out there – but you will get this effect naturally if you eat little and often and consume your correct balance of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. So I suppose, the patch should work if you do everything they recommend – as it’s just common sense dieting advice.
It claims it has no side-effects, but then on the same page claim that it affects your hormones and can relieve PMS. Well if it can affect PMS – what else could it affect?
Wanna Try It?
If you still think it’s worth a try, then go visit their web page – the free trial is only about 2 weeks worth of patches, costing you the £4.95 postage and packing. If you want the jumbo money-saving pack of 4 months worth of tablets (£77.96) it gets you free postage!
But then, if they claim you can lose 5lb in 1 week – how many people out there need to lose 80lbs in the first place??????
Long Term Weight Loss:
If, however you are serious about losing weight permanently and without short-term gimmicks, try searching for ‘The 6 Meals A Day’ diet in Google – there are some great motivational blogs out there.
In just a few days you will have your appetite under control and start to enjoy eating smaller meals with more protein in them, like chicken breast with steamed broccoli florets and asparagus stems, sirloin steak with yam and sweet potato mash, lobster on a bed of zucchini and green beans, the list goes on…………….
And, Good Luck.
PS – if you are going to cheat on a diet – do it in style. Rather than shove down a bar of chocolate or an entire pack of biscuits when no one can see you – get home and whip yourself up a lovely chicken stir fry with chunky vegetables! It’s better for you and why should you hide from anyone? It’s your body and your diet.
You want to feel you are cheating the diet – and we all need to do that occasionally – but don’t cheat yourself
