the pink patch, an alternative to healthy eating and exercise?Well I was browsing digg as usual when I came across a link for “the pink patch“, curious fellow that I am I wondered what it was.

Turns out that the latest way to extract money from teen girls low self-esteem is to sell “diet patches”, think of them like nicotine patches but for people with (perceived or actual) weight problems. As much as I’m curious I was also sceptical, the only way to lose weight is to expend more energy than you put in as food - smaller portions, more exercise (must try this some time!). Can you really just stick a patch on and lose weight? I doubt it.

The claims

 

  • FAST — You’ll start to burn more fat instantly! Proven to be the quickest way to infuse your body with all-natural weight loss ingredients for amazing results!
  • FRESH — Revitalise your body with the energy of the Pink Patch! With the weight coming off, you’ll feel recharged not to mention how amazing you’ll look!
  • FREE-SPIRITED — Don’t give up your social life and become a slave to the gym to achieve that perfect body. Simply put on the Pink Patch and take off that stubborn stone - it’s that easy.

There’s more wild claims too …
