All those ads for products promoting quick, easy weight loss may be tempting. But unfortunately, they usually don’t deliver on their promises.
So, how do you know if the products are bogus?
The Federal Trade Commission shows you how to spot the seven claims that almost always mean a diet scam:
- You can eat your favorite high-calorie foods and still lose weight
- You can lose weight without diet or exercise
- A product can block the absorption of fat, carbs, or calories
- A product can make you lose more than 3 pounds a week
- A product will work for everyone
- A product will cause you to lose weight permanently
- Any patch, cream, gel, etc. can help you lose weight
