Lets discuss weight loss patches.... Weight-loss patches might seem like a dieters dream. All you need to do is stick one on your skin and youll see the pounds melt away---or so the manufacturers claim. No scientific evidence exists that the patches work in this manner, so this is a buy-at-your-own risk situation. According to MayoClinic, most over-the-counter weight-loss products are gimmicks. Reducing your calorie intake and increasing your activity level is still the safest and most effective way to lose weight. In 2004, the Federal Trade Commission charged a number of weight-loss patch manufacturers with fraud and false advertising as a result of an investigation initiated by complaints from customers. The claims included that the patches would cause permanent weight loss, melt away fat and enable users to lose up to three pounds per week. Depending on the brand and type of weight-loss patch youre considering, claims vary. They include curbing your appetite, mood enhancement, boosting your immune system and breaking down fats and cholesterol. According to The Beauty Brains, at least one patch on the market also promises to lower your chances of breast and ovarian cancer while you lose weight. According to the Mayo Clinic, studies about aroma patches for weight loss---which release a scent that allegedly curbs your appetite---are sketchy at best and performed by the manufacturers. According to Ultimate Fat Burner---which provides expert reviews of weight-loss supplements---drug delivery through the skin is tricky and does not work well with all ingredients. Whats more, the ingredients that weight-loss patches contain are difficult to absorb through the skin and unlikely to be very effective in causing weight loss. #WeightLoss #WeightLossPatch #Health #Fitness
