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.

got the trial and it was my first day yesterday...felt no different :| definitely no effect on my cravings or appetite...i'm a healthy bmi though so I don't really need to control my appetite as I don't overeat but just wanted to see if the supposed increase in fat metabolism would help me lose a few lbs....hmmm

some of you are claiming to have lost 3-4lbs in 3 days which is ridiculous and very dangerous, i think your reviews are fake and planted by the company, either that or youre just starving yourself, which means you'll put the weight back on again as soon as you stop using the patch.

Im just trying the pink patch at 37 so will see soon if it works. Im after loosing those last few pounds that wont shift despite a good fitness regime and sensible diet. The patch is designed to reduce your appetite so you eat less than you need also giving you a boost in energy which is often depleted through lowering calorie intake. Its not a miracle cure just an aid to help and as long as you maintain a sensible diet afterwards and keep up with fitness then yes it should work. for some people like myself its hard to shed a few pounds as your close to your ideal weight your body tries to hand on to those pounds and its not that your stuffing your face its that you may be struggling with energy on a diet thats low enough in cals to shed them last pounds.

Thats great to hear for those that it has helped but i have to share my exsperience with the company ripping me off when i sent it back! They claim if you send it back you get a full refund except shipping but they dont tell you that if you just go and send it back to where it came from you void you refund. One rep told me that it had to go back to a different address (warehouse) from the one on the envelop the first time i called and then a nother rep told me i that it has to go to the address that it came from.So screwed out of the money because i returned it to sender instead of opening it up and on the packing slip it tells you not to return to sender. BUT the address that they say to send it back to IS THE EXACT SAME!!!! It is a scam and i garentee many people screw that up and lose that money. they should have this posted on the outside envelop!!!! So becareful if your planing on sending it back!!! make sure you get a confermation from the postoffice!!!

Just thought i'd share with you my experience, I lost 6.7 stone last year, going from a size 18/20 to a size 12 in 7months through working out excessively and eating sensibly. However I have put on a stone again, now weighing in at 10stone 5lbs. I HAVE JUST STARTED USING THESE PATCHES - I have lost 3lb in 3days and feel fabulous, I haven't altered my eating although I have less of an appetite and it has given me the extra energy boost to get me back in the gym at home. I will be using them but just until i've shifted this stone 2 months max as am not convinced that long-term use would be all that good addiction wise.... Good look to anyone else thinking of trying them.

I am hoping to lose the extra 10lbs I put on since getting engaged and i am using the pink patch. It's day 3 and I've lost 4lbs, so I think that my weight loss speaks volumes. "youre all clueless" needs to get a life. I think this patch is good if you have a small amount of weight to lose or if you are addicted to sugar because you can use the patch to stop the sugar cravings and then when you finish using said patch, your blood sugar will be regulating itself normally and you won't be craving the naughty things- so, unless you decide to start eating them in large quantities again the prob should be solved. I don't think anyone has suggested that the patch is "magic" but so far I am finding it really helpful. I am a dancer by profession but I have not changed my exercise program and for me the weight that I've lost seems to be down to this patch! I would be wary about wearing it over a long period of time as the lack of studies on this product is an area of concern but at this rate by next week I won't be needing it. so in conclusion, for a short term fix or quick boost I don't think it will do any harm and I am happy with this product as it is working for me at the moment.

I am on day 2 and it has stopped my hunger. And when I do eat meals i dont eat everything in site! So far so good!
posted Mar 24th, 2008 4:37 pmyoure all clueless
look, this isnt some magic patch, all it is is an appetite supressor, therefore it wont work long term because....1)if you have the will power in the first place to stop eating chocolate, mcdonalds and fatty salty junk then you dont need the patch in the first place. 2) if you havent got the willpower to stop stuffing your face in the first place then this patch isnt going to make any difference. solution is simple cut out the crap from your diet, stop snacking and stuffing your fat face with food and get off your fat cellulite butt and do some exercise,

I love this product! I couldn't believe I felt a difference just a few hours after I started! I feel great and I lost 4 lbs my first week and haven't really changed my excersize program. Heard some people had side effects but I haven't experienced any.

I love the pink patch since wearing it I've had virtually no appetite and in the first 2 weeks I've lost 6lbs. Its all down to the individual.

Don't do it! It does not work at all. In fact, I noticed that when I wore it, I was very bloated and when I went a day or two without wearing it, I wasn't. I think I even gained a couple of pounds while wearing it. I wore it for about a month.
