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.

- 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

The ingredients in the Pink Patch are absorbed into the skin and are time released throughout the day.

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.

Just thought i'd share with you my experience, I lost 6.7 stone last year, going from a size 18/20 to a size 12 in 7months through working out excessively and eating sensibly. However I have put on a stone again, now weighing in at 10stone 5lbs. I HAVE JUST STARTED USING THESE PATCHES - I have lost 3lb in 3days and feel fabulous, I haven't altered my eating although I have less of an appetite and it has given me the extra energy boost to get me back in the gym at home. I will be using them but just until i've shifted this stone 2 months max as am not convinced that long-term use would be all that good addiction wise.... Good look to anyone else thinking of trying them.
I havent used it yet..I was thinkin about it tho... ive heard some good things and some bad things... but I think I might try it for a week anyway...just to see...
I am hoping to lose the extra 10lbs I put on since getting engaged and i am using the pink patch. It's day 3 and I've lost 4lbs, so I think that my weight loss speaks volumes. "youre all clueless" needs to get a life. I think this patch is good if you have a small amount of weight to lose or if you are addicted to sugar because you can use the patch to stop the sugar cravings and then when you finish using said patch, your blood sugar will be regulating itself normally and you won't be craving the naughty things- so, unless you decide to start eating them in large quantities again the prob should be solved. I don't think anyone has suggested that the patch is "magic" but so far I am finding it really helpful. I am a dancer by profession but I have not changed my exercise program and for me the weight that I've lost seems to be down to this patch! I would be wary about wearing it over a long period of time as the lack of studies on this product is an area of concern but at this rate by next week I won't be needing it. so in conclusion, for a short term fix or quick boost I don't think it will do any harm and I am happy with this product as it is working for me at the moment.
I am on day 2 and it has stopped my hunger. And when I do eat meals i dont eat everything in site! So far so good!
look, this isnt some magic patch, all it is is an appetite supressor, therefore it wont work long term because....1)if you have the will power in the first place to stop eating chocolate, mcdonalds and fatty salty junk then you dont need the patch in the first place. 2) if you havent got the willpower to stop stuffing your face in the first place then this patch isnt going to make any difference. solution is simple cut out the crap from your diet, stop snacking and stuffing your fat face with food and get off your fat cellulite butt and do some exercise,
I love this product! I couldn't believe I felt a difference just a few hours after I started! I feel great and I lost 4 lbs my first week and haven't really changed my excersize program. Heard some people had side effects but I haven't experienced any.
I love the pink patch since wearing it I've had virtually no appetite and in the first 2 weeks I've lost 6lbs. Its all down to the individual.
Don't do it! It does not work at all. In fact, I noticed that when I wore it, I was very bloated and when I went a day or two without wearing it, I wasn't. I think I even gained a couple of pounds while wearing it. I wore it for about a month.
