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.

hello all. i have jus ordered my free trial. there are mixed reviews so dont know what to take from it. I will give the first week ago and see the results. i jus wanted to know from claire, firstly congrats on losing ur 12lbs in the first month but how did u keep ur diet? and did exercise aswell to maximise the results? i would definetly like to achieve the same results just needed some advice from anyone really how often did u exercise? my free should come inn the next two days and that way atleast im prepared.
is it safe? im worried that i put my card details down and something goes wrong! itsays you have to cancell in 14 days or you will keep getting monthly supplies but it has no where on the website for you to cancel!? how do you do it?
Hi all. I'd just like to say, that after having my 5thchild and gaining 3&1/2 stone, I looked in to all kinds of diets. To begin with, I started by drinking more water, at least 6 glasses a day which kick started my system and I started to loose about 6lb a week. I also removed almost all fat from diet, eating approx 25-30g of fat a day (the recommendation is 70g of fat for women) and changed all eating habits including changing my rice to wholegrain and my pasta to whole wheat. It started getting difficult at around the 10&1/2 stone mark, and I wanted to get down to 9stone. I then used the pink patch for 1 whole week and started the slim fast plan at the same time. This helped to curb my hunger while my body adjusted to the slimfast plan. Now I'm 9st from a whooping 13&1/2 stone after my daughter was born. My daughter is now 10 months old, I don't really do any exercise other than the daily cleanin,g tidying etc, and I try walk to the shops which is approx 15mins away. I didn't have to change a lot or go to the gym to get these results so it just goes to show...anything is possible!!!
I'm not sure who is real on this site and who isn't, but that's ok. I ordered the patches (free trial) and I haven't really noticed anything. However, you do receive a month's supply if you don't contact them! I cancelled, but not after $50 was charged. I believe it does curb my cravings, but other than that, nothing miraculous. Would I recommend? Probably not. I haven't lost anything....except $50.
diet update using pink patch, if you read futher up i said i have loste 3lb... well its been just over a week now and i have lost 5lb now, dunno if this is drastic? but i just dont feel hungry and dont feel tired either, got to be doing something.
I am curious as to whether those 3-4 pound weight losses are attributable to water loss. Would someone comment on overall weight loss extending beyond a month? What about the success of keeping it off? Congratulations to those of you who are feeling better due to the weight loss.
Has anyone else noticed the fine print? After your trial 6 days end if you do not contact them and say stop they will send you out a new set every thirty days at a cost of almost £40 as they store your bank details on there records.
Be careful if you order the free trial as unless you e-mail curb your cravings within 14 days of accepting the free trial they will automatically send you a months worth and keep taking the payment from whichever payment device you used to pay the P&P on the free trial. On a flip side, I did the free trial and lost about 4 pounds, (cancelled the subscription) and then ordered a one off delivery of a months worth and have now lost another 3 pound only 1 week in. It may well be pyschological but if it helps then whats the problem!!
Hi i ordered the free trial ! got this and 2 weeks later ! £40 come to my door without ordering them ! i was shocked, but havent received my bank statement yet so hopefully havent been charged . any way im using them at the moment ., I find they have a weird smell to them ! but i have lost a couple of pounds . im only a size 12 anyway so maybe the weight will shed slower :S! just wante dthem before my holiday ! i think theyre way to expensive though ! i suggest walking and adios ! thats good stuff and its worked a treat for me !
I have been dieting and exercising with a personal trainer 3 times a week for the past 6 weeks to help me shift 3 stone. My weight loss is usually steady and I lose about a pound every other day. Since starting a six day trial with the patch, my usual steady weight loss has stopped. Would suggest to others therefore that these are a complete rip off so save your money. Those that have had some success I would put it down to your mind playing tricks on you - because you think you have a 'miracle' patch on that is curbing your appetite you are probably eating less but not due to the patch, it's all in the mind. If someone gave you an ordinary elastoplast and told you you would lose weight by wearing it you'd probably get the same results at a much cheaper price. Save your money girls and realise from someone who has tried everything on the market over the past 15 years that the only way that works is eat healthier and exercise.
To the 'youre all clueless' person....You are an immature brat. Not everyone who wants to use a diet aide is 'fat' or lazy. You are just a kid and DO NOT understand what it means, obviously to need help in losing weight. Not everyone got overweight just by eating a lot and doing nothing. Stop going around to these sites and being a complete asshole.
I have jus ordered a weeks worth of the Pink Patch no harm in giving them a go however i really want to make sure that my contraceptive pill will still work when i use the patch. does anyone have any answers??
i am not that much over wieght but my size jeans were getting 2 tight etc, so i got me one months worth, its been 5 days now and ihave lost 3lb already! so all good so far and they do make you feel full and i dont crave late at night like i used 2.
got the trial and it was my first day yesterday...felt no different :| definitely no effect on my cravings or appetite...i'm a healthy bmi though so I don't really need to control my appetite as I don't overeat but just wanted to see if the supposed increase in fat metabolism would help me lose a few lbs....hmmm
some of you are claiming to have lost 3-4lbs in 3 days which is ridiculous and very dangerous, i think your reviews are fake and planted by the company, either that or youre just starving yourself, which means you'll put the weight back on again as soon as you stop using the patch.
Im just trying the pink patch at 37 so will see soon if it works. Im after loosing those last few pounds that wont shift despite a good fitness regime and sensible diet. The patch is designed to reduce your appetite so you eat less than you need also giving you a boost in energy which is often depleted through lowering calorie intake. Its not a miracle cure just an aid to help and as long as you maintain a sensible diet afterwards and keep up with fitness then yes it should work. for some people like myself its hard to shed a few pounds as your close to your ideal weight your body tries to hand on to those pounds and its not that your stuffing your face its that you may be struggling with energy on a diet thats low enough in cals to shed them last pounds.
I am 36 years of age, is this patch going to work for me or am I too old!
Thats great to hear for those that it has helped but i have to share my exsperience with the company ripping me off when i sent it back! They claim if you send it back you get a full refund except shipping but they dont tell you that if you just go and send it back to where it came from you void you refund. One rep told me that it had to go back to a different address (warehouse) from the one on the envelop the first time i called and then a nother rep told me i that it has to go to the address that it came from.So screwed out of the money because i returned it to sender instead of opening it up and on the packing slip it tells you not to return to sender. BUT the address that they say to send it back to IS THE EXACT SAME!!!! It is a scam and i garentee many people screw that up and lose that money. they should have this posted on the outside envelop!!!! So becareful if your planing on sending it back!!! make sure you get a confermation from the postoffice!!!
i just had my baby months ago and gained well over 50 lbs. and i lost only 20 of it. i would love to fit in my old jeans again. ever since she was born, i've ate healthier and exercise and nothing changed. i wanted to know if this really works. maybe it will give me a boost back to my self confidence.
