BACKGROUND
Start the Diet Now Advertisement
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.
Do You Know the Best Diet Pills of 2024?
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.

As someone in the medical profession and with a diploma in nutrition I have to say I agree with the people saying a bit of will power but can see the psychological twist that the patch has. Its the placebo effect alot of drug companies take. It surely speaks volumes that there is no FDA approval also. Losing weight is the easy part its maintaining the weight thats the hardest part. Eat a balanced diet and dont deny yourself anything, Try to cut down and lost weight at a steady pace. When you crash diet your body panics and stores fat thinking you are depriving it of nutrients. Aim for 4-7lbs weight loss per week for the first few weeks it will gradually slow to 2-5lbs but this means you are more likely to maintain the desired look. If you want to speed up your metabolism look at foods that do that or take the herbal supplement that suits you best. Try drinking lemon juice in hot water before breakfast give your body a boost and never skip breakfast. Drink green tea that helps break down the antioxdants in your body eliminating excess water. Eat foods and take supplements that aid digestion eg acidophilus. Its all about moderation. PINK PATCH???? Everyone is different I dont think its the patch if this thing really worked you should be able to eat all the junk in the world and still loose weight WONT HAPPEN LADIES sorry no quick fix for a bit of FAT!

IF YOU ALL READ THE LETTER PROPERLY YOU WILL NOTICE THEY SEND YOU A MONTHS SUPPLY UNLESS YOU CANCEL WITHIN 14 DAYS. I READ IT ON THEIR WEBSITE AND ON BOTH LETTERS THEY SEND SO IF YOU DONT CANCEL WITHIN THOSE DAYS ITS YOUR OWN FAULTS REALLY, ITS NOT AS IF THE PRINT IS THAT SMALL????

Dont recommend, was using the patches for the week and found no change in appetite ect. Also started to notice that wherever i was putting the patches, gave me a terrible itch and turned out in a mild rash for a while. Everyone differs so its down to you if you want to try but i know i wouldnt recommend to anyone as i think its justa scam! x

Don't like the idea of giving my bank details to them for a free trial. I'd try a colonic Irrigation for a quick fix, can lose upto half a stone. xx

hey guys i've just been reading alot of your angry comments about paying for more patches after the sample, well I've just ordered mine off ebay where this wont happen plus they are cheaper. Just thought i'd share a little light on the situation. hope you all have success with it (",)

Im on day two and i still feel no different. I am still eating as much as i used to and the hunger pangs are not going away! Its only day two tho so i am sticking to it untill my patches are gone to see if this really does work. I suppose everybody gets different effects for their bodys and lifestyles. And just to say to Fanoire, you are far too young to be taking these patches, it says yo have to be at least 18 years of age. And im pretty sure putting 10 on your body would not make much of a difference to putting one on. It could even be dangerous especially at the ag you are. Dont be so ridiculous to try and make yourself 4st. Its very unheathy!!

the best thing to do is once u get u r free trial, ring them up or email and ask ur direct debit 2 b cancelled and then if the patch works 4 u, order a new pack - simple. it does help to read the small print tho! i have 2 say when i telephoned the company they were very helpful and i have been on the pink patch for 3 days, doin my normal exercise and normal diet (not strict but not too many sweeties either) and i have lost 2 lb already. i do feel bloated after i eat but i think that is the effect because i feel full all the time. i agree tho that there is not enough info with the pack sent to you tho.

GSB, as with any product you order online there will always be fine print. It clearly says that you will be billed monthly if you do not cancel the order within a certain time period. Your original order would have already be taken out. I had no problems at all cancelling the "monthly" terms and now just simply order at my own will whenever I need/want to. I've been taking this product for 6 weeks now, and LOVE it! It helps with many aspects (including PMS) as well as weight loss. I haven't altered my diet as I should, but have still seen a loss of 5 lbs. I also love that I have more energy without the jitters or heart issues! The only bad thing I've found is that if you do have to take perscription medication, you will have to stop the patch to avoid any type of drug interaction with herbal remedies. Just wise to do. It also takes a few days (3 for me) to really start noticing it working again. I think its a fabulous product and definately recommend it! Just like with several other great past inventions, you will have your doubters. I'm sure at some point in time people thought the telephone was a terrible thing! Lord help 'em now! Ha!

THIS IS A SCAM - DO NOT DO IT!!!!!! I was courious about this patch and like te rest of you thought what do i have to lose? I ordered the sample pack and recieved it 2 weeks later so this was after the time stipulation on canceling the product. I then noticed the �40.90 taken from my account and that same day I recieved my 1 months supply. Confused I called the company and spoke to a girl called Charley Shelley. As I was not getting anywhere with her I asked to speak with a manager as I was not happy this amount came out in the first place but I did agree to the terms and conditions but only recieved the samaple pack after the 14 day trial period which is not my fault. I was told by Charlie that there was no manager available at the time and was told I would get a call back. I asked for a call back that afternoon as I was at work. As I never recieved the call I decided to call back and was on hold for 20 mins. A girl called Luara answered and as I havd not recieved my call back i asked too speak to a manaer then. At this stage I was getting more and more upset obviously and instead of getting a a manger for me I was told they were all in a meeting and a call would be made the next day to me. I did not accept this as I was promised a call that day and was not given one. I advised I would to speak with a manager and instead of proving customer service and understanding the customer was not happy Laura told me I could not wait on the phone and would trminate the call - which she did. At this I am sure you can appretiate I was furoiuse and called back. Spoke to her again and Laura terminated the call AGAIN. I thought 3rd time lucky and got back through to Charlie Shelley from that morning and she did the samae thing. I am discusted in their service for a start and the only thing I have lost is my patience. If having your money taken wasn't enough I had to speak to two very rude and unhelpful advisers. I just hope this does not happen to anyone else and I hope everyone reads the small print and does not get sucked in. Besides the above I have not used any on the patches - ordered or sample as I am so angry with the company, but I feel a well balanced diet and some excersise is the answer to all you ladys out there. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE AND I HOPE NO ONE HAS TO GO THROUGH WHAT I HAVE BEEN THROUGH. IT IS DISCUSTING HOW I WAS TREATED AND I WILL BE MAKING A FORMAL COMPLAINT TO THEM AND THE CITIZENS ADVISE BUREAU.

I gained weight while wearing the patch, and I also had immense difficulty convincing the company to abide by their own refund policies. I'm still missing $10 that they claim they don't owe me.

Just completed day two of wearing the patch - cant say i feel any different, but will carry on using it until the weeks over and see if there are results. I'm a size 12, exercise 4x weekly - just curiuous i suppose to see the effects. Still crave food so no change there!

Just wanted to say that I started my free trial 3 days ago and so far it has done wonders to curb my appetite. I was going to wait until that end of the 6 days before I weigh so I can't report on any weight loss. Another bonus that I'm sure is attributed to a few of the key ingredients is that I started my period 2 days ago and have not had any cramps or low moods which is something that I usually struggle with every month.

wo wo wo! I was just going through the sign up process to get my free trial and if you read the small print they automatically send you monthly supplies and take �35 from your account each month! The trial is not worth �25 because its only 6days worth. I think these two things make it seem extremely suspect. I think we should all try a bit of will power to get slim. good luck x

I am currently using the free sample, on my 5th day now and so far I have not lost an oz. However, it is the wrong time of the month for me and had I thought about the timing, I would not have ordered it just yet. Omra great positive advice! to take on board. I just wanted to add that some people talk about going to the Gym, being Lazy and eating healthy. I speak for myself and may be the few people out there, with a medical reason why the Gym is not an option (I did join the Gym and I stopped as it provoked additional pain), without the benefit of excercise eating health is not always enough to lose weight. It may work if I choose a fad diet. I find some negative comments are way off base and miss the point why some people would like to diet in the first place. .

LADIES COME ONE!! THIS IS A SCAM, YOU CAN LOOSE THE SAME AMOUNT OF WEIGHT BY EXCERCISING AND EATING PROPERLY. THIS 12LB/MONTH WEIGHT LOSS IS NOTHING THAT CANT BE DONE WITHOUT A PILL!!!! THE PINK PATCH IS A MONEY MAKER FOR ALL LADIES WHO ARE TOO LAZY TO WORK OUT 3 TIMES A WK AND EAT PROPERLY TO PRODUCE LONG LASTING EFFECTS TO THEIR BODIES! AMERICA IS LAZY AS WE CLEARLY SEE!!

My advice would be to see your GP first. I've had a look into some of these wonderful, natural ingredients and three of them alter hormonal levels and the effects of oral contraceptives. Before you get yourself "up the duff", see your doctor: Flaxseed may alter hormonal levels and alter the effects of oral contraceptives or HRT. Only use flaxseed under the supervision of a qualified health care provider if you are taking hormonal altering medications such as oral contraceptives or HRT!

i would just like to say to all those this hasnt worked for... the ingredients are natural first of all, secondly, there are different kinds of fat... e.g fatty acids is the one this cuts down on... so ofcourse EVERYBODY reacts to everything differently, there is no harm trying it as u CAN NOT put on weight. and this advice was taken from my GP only because i excerise, eat healthy but some how am still putting on the weight. i hardly every eat chocolate or mcdonalds... etc... SO GIRLS... go for it, try the trial if nothing happens in 6days you will then know this is not for u... good luck
