Pink Patch: Weight Loss Scam?

I came across this unusual weight loss method on one of my favorite health and fitness sites FitSugar and needless to say, got very curious.

The Pink Patch claims to help the user lose 1-3 pounds of weight per week by just sticking a strip of specially treated latex to a body part. Sounds simple and it probably is if it weren’t for the fact that it makes use of an ingredient called Fucus Vesiculosus.

The ingredient also goes by the name Bladderwrack and has been long included in many weight loss methods as it has been believed to cause a lift in metabolism and is held to induce weight loss. The Pink Patch somehow fails to mention that Bladderwrack has not been tested on humans successfully.

I did a little checking of my own after visiting the links laid out in FS and realized that they couldn’t be more correct.

Weight loss may be a desperate must-have for young people in college, but it cannot be achieved that easily. PSI abdominoplasty thinks it’s better for this age group to exercise till they enter adult-hood. If losing weight is still a problem after going through all the effort, cosmetic surgery procedures like a tummy tuck can be considered.

Make a wise decision to maintain a healthy body mass index and think through any alternative options before you go ahead with them. Visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California to know more about tummy tuck procedures and prices.
