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.

Have none of you seen requiem for a dream, the reports that it lifts your mood are very worrying to me.
I agree with GSB - this is a scam and I cannot get my money back even though they promise a refund if you return the patches. DO NOT TOUCH - ABSOLUTE RUBBISH - NO CUSTOMER SERVICE - NO NOTHING!
Hi there, I have just finished my first month of the pink patch and I have managed to lose on average 3-4 pounds a week. It really does work and I am going to carry on using it till I reach my goal weight.
I tried the Pink Patch & I've not lost any weight at all. It has actually made me feel extremely ill & have been experiencing dizziness & nausea. The Pink Patch doesn't curb your cravings - it simply makes you feel so ill that you cannot eat. I DO NOT recommend this product!!!!
think what you wanna think some people it does work some it dont also it states clearly in the terms an conditions what you have to do an what happens so its your choice if you read the to be quite honest
What the ! u are all sayin different things..does it actually work or not!
Some people have had good luck with these other not. Its like everything some things work for people others dont. What i would recomemend if you are going to buy this product do not buy it from the pink patch due to their scams but a month supply can be picked up at over £12 less on ebay. Have a look before you part with your hard earned cash!
If this product really works. Obesity will become a thing of the past (I won't hold my breath). The only winners here are the parasites who sell this rubbish at the expense of the mugs and vulnerable people who actually believe it will work. These scum must be laughing all the way to the bank. There should be laws to prevent with this sort of exploitation.
Well, it must be a scam mustnt it - no such thing as a miracle patch, but if the placebo helps people ..... I have larfed at some of the spoof comments on here - keep them up. But I would say just self control doesnt always work as you get older and are not fit enough to exercise and some people need a mental boost. Good luck to you all :)
i got the free trial, as it only cost a few pounds. but nothing seemed to happen. i tried numerous ways to cancel it but had no luck, it is not advertised well at all. my opinion is not to try it, as soon as u go off it your appetite will just go back to normal and you will put the weight straight back on. dont try it!
I don't know if it's working or not... my weight always varies about 5 lbs. ... and last 6 days I have taken this I haven't felt different, and my weight has done anything out of the ordinary.. maybe it takes more than 6 days for something to happen???
I think anybody interested in the Pink Patch sould read the review that was done by scientists at thebeauty brains web site : http://thebeautybrains.com/2008/03/12/does-the-pink-patch-weight-loss-patch-really-work/ It answers any questions with regards to it's working or not!
hi again, im 3 weeks in to the patch and have noticed that my appetite has remained reduced..good! however when i do eat i feel very bloated and a bit uncomfortable, but i think well this will reduce my portion size so i think its a good thing and am planning to continue for a while longer, keep u posted, janey x
Don't know if this is a coincidence or not but I loved the pink patch and lost a lot of weight with it then. After a couple of months I got a boil in my ear canal - never had anything like before ever!! Then I had a bleeding ovarian cyst - again never had anything like that before. Then found out through a friend about someone else who had been on pink patches for a couple of months and had a ruptured ovarian cyst! Coincedence? Feel a bit scared to use them again. Has anyone else had any side effects?
I got the free trial, and emailed them to cancel the subscription. I got an email back saying it had been cancelled and another shipment would not be sent. 2 days later, I got an email saying my month's supply has been shipped. I can't afford this, and now I can't afford my rent this month.

Does anyone have their e-mail address so that i can cancel please? Thanks
I just started using the patch this week! So far I'm satisfied! I'm not going to say its a wonder drug or anything but I have noticed a difference in my appetite.. When I eat its like I don't really "care" and I know when to stop eating! I also noticed a difference in my over all mood.. Its almost like it gets in your head and makes you feel good about yourself!! If this keeps up I'm going to be a regular patch girl!!
I am on my 2nd day and feel real bad, tired, metal taste in my mouth and nausea. I think if I don't feel better by tomorrow this will be my 2nd and last day!!! BTW - I think I feel hungrier.
I tried it and lost nearly a stone in about 5 weeks. Might just be a mental thing but hey, you pay more for a gym that you don't end up using :)
