Pink Patch
This little sticker can potentially provide weight loss.
BACKGROUND
First there were patches to help you quit smoking, then birth control, and now there is a patch for losing weight. Created for women trying to lose those last five pounds, the Pink Patch is a substance-infused sticker that you slap on once a day to curb your appetite. The ingredients, which seep into the skin, are intended to control your appetite for 24 hours while revving up your metabolism, curbing your appetite, boosting your energy and elevating your mood. Pink Patch is the newest product from Curb Your Cravings, responsible for the Hoodia patch.
The Pink Patch is marketed toward girls and women in their teens and early twenties. You are expected to lose approximately one to three pounds each week.
The suggested use for the Pink Patch is to stick one patch on your skin in the morning and leave it on throughout the entire day. You are encouraged to drink a lot of water, avoid alcohol and limit caffeine to only a cup per day while you are wearing the Pink Patch.
PRO
- The Pink Patch may be able to help you lose weight
- Pink Patch does not cite any side effects
CON
- No FDA approval or evaluation of the supposed and intended results of the Pink Patch
- No scientific or medical claims to support the Pink Patch claims
- It targets young women whose bodies might be more vulnerable to the unregulated and synthesized ingredients contained in the Pink Patch.
- Does not include any guidelines for how to maintain a healthy weight once the young woman stops wearing the patch.
- It encourages young women to be skinny and to do introduce potentially harmful substances into their bodies in order to achieve their dream bodies
INGREDIENTS
The Pink Patch contains, Fucus Vesiculosus , a type of seaweed, used in holistic medicine to reduce excess weight by increasing metabolism. It also contains yerba mate, a South American stimulant and hunger suppressor and lecithin, an emulsifier that is claimed to re-proportion your body weight. The ingredients in the Pink Patch are absorbed into the skin and are time released throughout the day.
DIET and EXERCISE
Even though there is no formal diet or exercise plan you should follow while wearing the Pink Patch, you are encouraged to eat a low-fat and low-calorie diet and exercise in order to be see the intended weight loss results.
CONCLUSION
The Pink Patch is a dietary supplement that has not been approved or evaluated by the FDA, therefore its effectiveness and safety cannot be validated. Also, be warned of any supplement that claims to shed pounds by simply putting a sticker on your arm. Moreover, since this product is targeted specifically to young women, it promotes the pressure for women to be skinny by doing whatever they can to achieve their perfect body even if that means taking a product that is unregulated and potentially harmful. As with any new drug or supplement, consult with your medical doctor before taking the Pink Patch.

I bought into it...and the first few days I felt awful. I guess that was the 'appetite supressant' part. Totally bloated.
I ordered my free trial which came straight away. Cant say I see or feel any different but I WAS willing to give it a try for one month - however I cant get hold of the office to cancel my order. Listened to their repeated message for 16mins today and again for another 10mins - so beware when putting in bank details - you may not beable to get them to cancel it. Anyone else had similar problem.
DOOOO NNNOOOOTTT BUUYYY!!! IM a girl that would do anything to lose that extra weight but its my biggest regret buying this! i decided to try the trial, i also recieved n envelope a Month later and they charged me £40 pounds and also took £100 out of my acount!!! i have tried calling the customer help line emailing, its a fake con and i am going to report itto trading standards!!! please dont be caught out!! if any1 knows how to get their money back please tell meeee!!
I have just ordered my free trial and after reading people's posts regarding canellation of the pink patch, could someone who has ordered the pink patch explain the process for cancellation along with the appropraite contact details?? Many thanks
This is a SCAM SCAM SCAM!!! I ordered a sample and they used my card to take £40 without authorisation a few weeks later!
this product did absoloutely nothing for me!! a total waste of money!! i got the free sample then automatically recieved a months supply,which i was gutted about because i already knew by then they were rubbish!!
This company was informed I had not ordered ANY item from them yet proceeded to charge me for a free trail?? then 2 weeks later I received a large envelope with pink patches in then and was cahrged over £40. Have only received back £36. BE warned. By the way I am one of those people who do not need to lose weight as I am 7stone wwringing wet. Ann Thompson
It is fantastic...i have definitely noticed a difference in appetite...usually when im dieting i tend to THINK about the food im not having but now ive completely forgotten about snacking etc! ''Youre all clueless''...you have completely missed the point. You say that everyone who hasnt the willpower shouldnt try this because it wont make a difference. Um....actually it will?! I am clearly not claiming that this patch works for every individual but the point is it is a appetite suppresor and therefore will curb your need to snack etc. You say that we should all go and ''do some exercise''...medically that is not a straight forward solution to losing weight...exercising will only properly work if you exercise with a calorie controlled diet. And this patch enables you to control your diet.
I agree with those who are saying it's likely a placebo. The placebo effect is very great and probably does more than any of these "natural" ingredients in the patch. (Remember--strychnine is all-natural too! Just because it's "natural" doesn't mean it's good for you.) If appetite suppression is really that big a deal, try drinking Yerba Mate tea instead of absorbing the Yerba Mate through your skin, since this product claims that it utilizes Yerba Mate to suppress your appetite. You'll probably get a higher "dose" of Yerba Mate without putting on this placebo-patch or getting tricked into an automatic subscription. You'll also get all the benefits of Yerba Mate tea--the antioxidants, the better digestion, etc. It reminds me of my friend when she got married--the few days before her wedding she started taking tons of diuretics in order to fit into her dress, and then was too sick to enjoy her honeymoon. If this product makes you lose weight at all, it's probably water weight--the weight that NORMALLY fluctuates depending on how hydrated you are. Don't be fooled--especially since, as noted above, flaxseed oil can interfere with oral contraceptives. Trust me, a baby will NOT help you lose weight!
i hope this patch works,im gonna try it,cos i sent for a trial pack,then got a months supply,without been informed. i think its just yet another useless weight lose product to get money out of use all. if your gonna apply for a trial run,be carefull!
it didn't do anything for me. good luck to the others
i use to eat a big bar of chocolate a night but since wearing the pink patch a bar lasts me a 2 weeks or more ITS BRILLIENT
IF YOU ALL READ THE LETTER PROPERLY YOU WILL NOTICE THEY SEND YOU A MONTHS SUPPLY UNLESS YOU CANCEL WITHIN 14 DAYS. I READ IT ON THEIR WEBSITE AND ON BOTH LETTERS THEY SEND SO IF YOU DONT CANCEL WITHIN THOSE DAYS ITS YOUR OWN FAULTS REALLY, ITS NOT AS IF THE PRINT IS THAT SMALL????
As someone in the medical profession and with a diploma in nutrition I have to say I agree with the people saying a bit of will power but can see the psychological twist that the patch has. Its the placebo effect alot of drug companies take. It surely speaks volumes that there is no FDA approval also. Losing weight is the easy part its maintaining the weight thats the hardest part. Eat a balanced diet and dont deny yourself anything, Try to cut down and lost weight at a steady pace. When you crash diet your body panics and stores fat thinking you are depriving it of nutrients. Aim for 4-7lbs weight loss per week for the first few weeks it will gradually slow to 2-5lbs but this means you are more likely to maintain the desired look. If you want to speed up your metabolism look at foods that do that or take the herbal supplement that suits you best. Try drinking lemon juice in hot water before breakfast give your body a boost and never skip breakfast. Drink green tea that helps break down the antioxdants in your body eliminating excess water. Eat foods and take supplements that aid digestion eg acidophilus. Its all about moderation. PINK PATCH???? Everyone is different I dont think its the patch if this thing really worked you should be able to eat all the junk in the world and still loose weight WONT HAPPEN LADIES sorry no quick fix for a bit of FAT!
Heres a novel idea..... LOSE 5lbs in 1 hour!!!!!! CUT OFF AN ARM!!!
Dont recommend, was using the patches for the week and found no change in appetite ect. Also started to notice that wherever i was putting the patches, gave me a terrible itch and turned out in a mild rash for a while. Everyone differs so its down to you if you want to try but i know i wouldnt recommend to anyone as i think its justa scam! x
Don't like the idea of giving my bank details to them for a free trial. I'd try a colonic Irrigation for a quick fix, can lose upto half a stone. xx
hey guys i've just been reading alot of your angry comments about paying for more patches after the sample, well I've just ordered mine off ebay where this wont happen plus they are cheaper. Just thought i'd share a little light on the situation. hope you all have success with it (",)
i ordered i free trial of the patch and was very dissapointed with the out come.IT MADE ABSOLUTLEY NO DIFFERENCE TO ANYTHING!IT DID NOT CURB MY NITHER HELP WITH LATE LOSS. VERY DISAPPOINTING
Im on day two and i still feel no different. I am still eating as much as i used to and the hunger pangs are not going away! Its only day two tho so i am sticking to it untill my patches are gone to see if this really does work. I suppose everybody gets different effects for their bodys and lifestyles. And just to say to Fanoire, you are far too young to be taking these patches, it says yo have to be at least 18 years of age. And im pretty sure putting 10 on your body would not make much of a difference to putting one on. It could even be dangerous especially at the ag you are. Dont be so ridiculous to try and make yourself 4st. Its very unheathy!!
