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 used the trial and I immediately noticed a difference. I don't know if it was a typical placebo effect or if it was the patch actually working, but I felt motivated and stimulated; I had energy to exercise. After the trial was over, I felt the drop in energy and my weight stabilized; I didn't lose or gain any more weight. I didn't cancel and decided to let the patches come in the mail, and I've lost so far another 5 pounds for a total of 8 pounds in a little over a month! I'm very satisfied with this product, just wish it wasn't so pricey.
i havent started this yet but im thinking about it. i work out pretty regularly and i try to eat right but it seems like nothing helps the extra fat on my tummy area. my arms and legs are fine i dont want to lose weight on them just my midsection. any thoughts??
I am not one to take anytype of diet pill or magic bean to help me lose weight. However I did try this and while it didn't help me lose weight it did help raise my energy level and stabalize my period. Which are two things I care about more than my weight. So i love it.
I have used the pink patch for the 14 day free trial. It did work and i lost 7lbs although i was eating healthily and exercising.As soon as i stopped using the patch i gained all the weight back on and more .I was eating exactly the same and exercising as what i was doing when wearing the patch. So DON'T use it. As soon as you stop using it you will gain it all back.
Hi. I am a boy and I am wondering if it is safe to use it for the opposite sex. I will not specify my age but I am under 18 and I want to know if it is totally safe.
All of those who claim to have lost neing are probaly lying. If it makes you lose wieght that fast then its extremely dangerous
Must say some of the negative comments have got to me. i ordered the free trial yesterday and have just got off the phone to cancel. she confirmed my details and ensured me she couldnt cancel the free trial (which i already knew) but has cancelled my membership and everything else. I asked for her name and she refused to give it to me. also i asked for the managers name and she wouldnt give out anything. am just a bit worried now that it might be one of those where i have to cancel my credit card details as i know they have them on their system now. *fingers crossed its completely cancelled*
This shows it's a load of BOLLOCKS.
Hey Everyone--- Try the "Stop stuffing your face" diet. It really works. And exercise. That's all it takes. But seriously no "supplement" is going to work. Stop stuffing your face and eating crap and you will lose weight. Omg what a concept.
I'M HAVING A PANICK ATTACK! I CAN'T AFFORD THIS! I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A FREE TRIAL! WHAT DO I DO!? I CAN'T BREATH! HOW DO I CANCEL???!!!!! PLEASE GOD SOMEONE HELP ME! PLEASE! HOW DO I CANCEL IT? WILL THEY DEFINATLY CHARGE ME? WILL THEY KEEP ON CHARGING ME OR JUST CHARGE ME ONCE? IS THERE ANYWAY OF CANCELLING? WILL I HAVE TO CANCEL MY CARD? OG PLEASE HELP ME!?
I'm on day 3 of the Pink Patch trial now, and I have to say I've not noticed a great change in my moods, or appetite. I'm still craving sweet foods, like I usually do. However, I have noticed that once I've started eating, I do feel full a little earlier - this time last week, i could have easily eaten 4-8 chocolate eclairs, whereas I bought 2 yesterday, and only ate one (and struggled at that!) I've not weighed myself yet - but my work trousers are a bit looser ( though I've started working out recently too..) I'll let you know about the weight when I've weighed myself, and I'll try to keep you updated! :)
i think this program totally depends on you body, age and expectations. i'm a stay home mom, my husband is a doctor and i have heard stories about these prouducts i would recomend that you only take them if you are extreemly over weight they are NOT FDA aproved and that is probally for a good reason they are not suitabe for anyone to be using. i have a medical degree and i had reasearched some of these prouducts when i was in college 2 years ago and many of the drugs going into these are experimental mixtures they may not show short term side effects but you should be careful in using the prouducts for more than a few months at a time. some of the chemicals in these prouducts show kidnee failure in other clinical studies published by the FDA. with any diet pills or patches you should do your research and get all the facts go to different websites and call your doctor talk to them or a nurse they can be very helpful. good luck and be careful!!!
what a load of crap. Since using the pink patches for 3 weeks, aswell as healthy eating, I have managed to gain 8lbs, not really a good advertisement for 'the pink patch'. I wouldn't advise anyone to waste their money as I have.
I've just ordered a free trial of the Pink Patch and am quite excited. Lots of people are saying that it's for people who are too lazy to get off their butt and exercise. Well it's not always that easy. If you're busy with work and kids, it's hard to get time in for yourself! And I find it quite hard to give up everything that's bad for you. If i can spend some extra money, and lose a few pounds without having to find the time, Well that works for me. (by the way it's lose wight, not loose) Good luck girls
I'm sad to see yet another diet craze hitting the streets! I've wasted so much money on pills, patches, cabbage soup diets and slimfast but finally i have discovered that the best way to lose way and look great is to get moving and cut calories. I eat 1500 calories a day of whatever i fancy, ten packets of crisps not the best idea though, and then go to the gym to burn at least 300 off. Yes ladies it means sweating and exercising but guess what......i've lost 6lbs in 3 weeks, look more toned and am fitter than ever. Do yourselves a favour and stop wasting money and change your lifestyle. Keep that weight off for good!
To be honnest i think this "new pink patch" is not very fair to women. If women want to losse weight, it is down to the indivual to do that. I think to something liek this there is going ot be side effects so if you want my advise i really wouldn't as it could leave you with cramps and pains in you lower back and side. If you want to looses weight, do it the normal, eat a balanced diet and exersice regulary, that's all you need to do. YOU DON'T NEED TO USE THIS, IT IT TO GET MONEY OUT OF YOU! what they are doing is they know that all women really want to do is to have a perfect figure, so there making this nonsece pick patch to get money from women. don't fall for it!
I've just received my free sample of the pink patch, and successfully cancelled the monthly supply. I just emailed them at customercare@thepinkpatch.co.uk asking to cancel, and the next day they sent me a confirmation email cancelling my monthly supply! I've just stuck the first patch on now, I usually have a HUGE appetite, though I'm not overweight. I'll let you know whether it works or not! :)
I have lost a lot of weight in the last year through exercise and a low fat diet, but gained about a stone recently which I would like to lose, I think the pink patch is good for a kick start - it's not a miracle cure for weight lose, it's not something that is long term but it is something that can get a few pounds off and make you feel good,It has for me curbed my appitite, If your anything like me...I need to see I am losing a bit, feel good and then I am able to motivate myself into exercising and eating healthy again, So far I haven't any problems with the company, I e-mailed them and cancelled my subscription before my free trial even came, and it arrived the next day. If you read the small print, do as it says and use it as a stepping stone to lose a bit of weight then I think it's a great product.
REPLY TO SALLYB: I have tried the patch and am still using the patch and its working for me, as within 2 weeks i had lost nearly half a stone. as it did help curb my cravings & i was not eating as much as i use to & could eat the same size portions as before. And to all those people on here that are scared to try it because of peoples remarks, then the only way you will know if it works is to try it yourself. But be sure to read the terms and conditions which are shown to you when placing the order & then on your pink letter, but otherwise if you dont you will be billed and it will be your own fault. Also in answer to GSB if was really your fault for not reading the t&c's and so by making a complaint to the citizens advise bureau won't get you anywhere as it was YOUR FAULT! so how can they do something about it if it is not the companies problem? Maybe next time everyone should just read the terms & conditions to save all this agro!
hi everyone, i've just been reading your comments i signed up to the free 6day trial now im worrying! i dont want them takeing money out of my account! how do i cancel them doing it can anyone help??.
