It is interesting to read and observe how funny and outrageous gizmos, creams, gels, machines and masks clothes etc are created to cater to the people's desire for instant weight loss.
Many people think that the victims of weight loss frauds are only those people who do want to make efforts and like things easy. But many time even people who have tremendous will power and are willing to make efforts also sometime fall victim to weight loss frauds. This is because they lack 'patience' and cannot accept that results take time. From this impatience emanates extreme weight loss methods and resulting disappointment and inconsistency .They are unable to continue any healthy habit for long and are ready to give up and try something else as nothing seems to work. In today's time, when emails get delivered in seconds, our concept of results and level of patience is rapidly diminishing.
In such a scenario, outrageously funny weight loss tricks are here to stay. Here we have selected a few really funny (and fraudulent ones) to highlight:
- Weight loss jeans: Apparently, they are supposed to contain special polymers which release some weight loss substance into your bums and thighs which make them slim.
- Face masks: Made of some miracle rubber you are supposed to wear them at night and they, over many nights of use, make the double chin disappear. Now you know why phantom wore masks.
- Weight loss blubber rubber belt: This specially designed belt has cut outs which affect lymphatic drainage.
- Weight loss electronic belt: This belt has all the modes from pin prick like to shaking to vibrations. Despite showing no results or credible scientific proof, this method is most widely used all over the world .The reason could be because of the fancy looking gadget with a modern look.
- Slimming creams: Creams, lotions and potions from sorcery have come into the realm of the common man as glamorous products. Creams for the hips and thighs which make you slim in few weeks' and body lotions which melt the fat away is a scam which sells.
- Weight loss soaps: Weight loss soaps which wash the fat away as you bathe is another scam which sells.
Some of these products are so interestingly packaged with pseudo medical words that one can get duped easily. Frankly, except medical people, it may be hard for people to see through them.
