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.

ive just ordered the pink patch sample trial im hoping that it does work as i wont to lose a couple of pounds for the summer il let you know how it goes
I have been reading up on each of the ingredients and would urge people to use Wikipedia to look at what each of the ingredients does before you go ahead and assume it's all natural so ok. There are a lot of stimulants in these "natural" ingredients which will naturally suppress appetite and "enegerise" you - potentially with downsides. I guess this is why they say not to drink more than one cup of coffee a day as well. After reading this site - checking the ingredients and not being sure about how it would effect my contraceptive pill I'm voting no to trying it. Ingredients for your reference: Fucus Vesiculosus, Extrac, 5-HTP, Guarana, Zinc Pyruvate, Yerba Mate, Flaxseed Oil, Lecithin, L-Carnitine.
i am on day 4 of using pp. have noticed a change in my mood. feel happy! not as hungry either. may be a placebo affect. don't know but who cares if it is? result still the same. am going to give it a month. will post how much i lose. i would reccommend pp.
I too ordered the trial and had over £40 taken out of my account and a months supply put through my door without ordering them, so becareful when giving them your bank details.I have been trying them now for several weeks and have felt no difference in appetite and have had no weight loss.
I am using pink patch for 5 days so far and dont have any appetite at all, therefore feel a bit week. Remember even if you dont want to eat, you still need to eat 3 small meals a day and drink lots of water. It consits of powerfull appetite controller and if you dont drink a lot you will have a headache. Also remember that the body fat would not be gone from body for 1 week at all, it is just water you r loosing. You need healthy meals which will increase your metabolism and make u born fat. I reccomend using pink patch for 1 mounth and learn yourself how not to snack and then you should remove it and try not to snack by yourself

Ive been using the pink patch for 2 weeks now, seen no difference in weight loss. However I must say they work excellently with suprressing the appetite! I fink they are good so far, only negative side affect is the slight very mild rash u get after removing the patch. ive got 2 more weeks on them left. ill get back to u guys.
"you're all clueless" needs to just keep the crude remarks to him/her self. But I just go the weeks trial today and I already feel it. Its kind of a weird sensation that I'll have to get used to, but I'll let you know if it works. I work at a deli and all i do is eat all day. I'm not a large person at all. I only wanted to try it to lose those couple extra pounds. But.. to everyone.. just be safe. Don't get too carried away with the weight loss fad. Eat healthy. Eat in moderation. And excercise. This patch is just more of a little helper than a cure. Good luck. :)
REPLY TO TC: Whether you think I am dying or exaggerating is your opinion of my comment. The whole purpose of this strand is for people who have tried it to leave their personnal experience details. Your opinion of my experiences don't counts for anything really as I am giving my exact account of trying the patch to other people. The purpose of the strand is regarding the pink patch. gave the patch a try and that's how it physically felt for me. By your comment to others, "Don't be influenced by some on these remarks", you are contradicting the use of this strand. How about commenting on the pink patch and what it did for you and not others experiences?
I tried the free trial and thought it was great, I've lost a few pounds, was in a great mood despite the stressful time I'm having at the minute, and did not notice any negative side effects. While waiting on my month's supply afterwards however, I felt really down and attributed this to not wearing the patch. I've received my month's supply yesterday and will probably continue wearing it for the month, but I feel a little uneasy about how my mood changed during the last week. I wore the patch with sceptism and was genuinely surprised that it worked, so can this still be put down to it being a placebo?
I think that the pink patch did work and of course it wont work for everyone but to read some of these messages & to heard what people are writing (sally b)sounds like they are practically dying because of it which seems a little over exaggerated, as its an all natural ingredient & surely if you felt that ill first of all you wouldnt continue it. Also really its your own fault if you dont read the terms and conditions and if you dont read them then you deserve to be billed, because nowadays anyone with any common sense would read the small print! Anyway the only way you will find out what they are like is if you try it out yourself, dont be influenced by some on these remarks.
I STARTED THIS DIET AND WAS ON IT FOR A WEEK AND I THOUGHT IT DIDNT WORK UNTILL I GOT MY SELF WEIGHED AND PEOPLE STARTED NOTICING ID LOST WEIGHT BY THIS TIME I STOPPED TAKING IT AND SINCE I STOPPED TAKING IT I PUT THE WEIGHT BACK ON SO IM STARTING IT AGAIN FROM TOMMORROW SO ILL LET YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IM SO EXITED

WARNING - THE PINK PATCH MADE ME ILL! I ordered my free trial of the pink patch. As soon as I recieved it I cancelled so that they would not be able to keep taking money out of my account. Day 1 - could not eat Day 2 - Problems focusing - my sight seemed off balance Day 3 - Neck pain, back pain, nausea, eating but not as much as normal. I could not string a sentence together and kept stuttering. My words would not come out right. Day 4 - I feel like I am on drugs or something. I can't talk properly let alone think properly. My tongue is swelling, my body hurts so much it hurts to lie down. I feel dizzy, nausea, mouth sores, my eyes feel sunken in and I have the darkest circles around them. Day 5 - I stop taking the patches and throw them in the bin. Day 6 - Feeling a little better although my body is still in pain. Day 7 - After 2 days of not taking the patches I feel back to my old healthy self. Taking them felt awful. I'd never do it again.
I believe everyone on here who is saying that these things work, actually work for 'curb your cravings'. I was ripped off!! they only made me feel sick, so i wasn't eating not because i wasn't hungry, but because i felt sick. no side effects are stated! This company prays on the fact that people won't read small print. it isn't made clear. i'm obviously not the only person who feels decieved by this company, wish i'd read this strand before i tried them. dont do it!!
my first day. I feel tired and irritable am going to stick with it for the trial though. I did phone and cancel this morning and they emailed me straight back to confirm cancellation.
Some of you may be losing weight, but what you aren't doing is considering the effects that this drug is having on your body. Did you know that it is not actually legalised, and do you know all the other hiden ingrediants with in this patch that are potentially harmful? Stop being such suckers for a gimmic, get up - do some activity and eat less fat! You will put the weight on as soon as you stop using the patch,..and if you cant stop using it... then I rest my case!!
Wow the pink patch, what can I say. I'm a sceptic. But if it works. Maybe it's a phycological thing.
I tried the free sample and thankfully read the fine print so was able to cancel it before they charged me for a month's supply. I definitely didn't lose any wait and rather than feeling in a great mood I felt utterly depressed from the day that I started wearing it. I noticed that in the mornings I woke up feeling fine, but shortly after getting to work (about an hour after putting on a new patch) I started feeling very low and depressed and that feeling lasted the whole day. I am now no longer wearing the pink patch and once again feel my normal self.
