Consumer Direct - Weight loss schemes

Consumer Direct - Weight loss schemes: "Weight loss schemes will usually take the form of an email promising a revolutionary pill, patch, cream or other product that will result in weight loss without diet or exercise. Some products claim to block the absorption of fat, carbohydrates or calories, a guarantee of permanent weight loss and some suggest you'll lose lots of weight at lightening speed. These are gimmicks, there's nothing available through email you can wear or apply to your skin that can cause permanent or even significant weight loss. Experts agree that the best way to lose weight is to eat fewer calories and increase your physical activity so you burn more energy. There are no products that can instantly remove fat, so you should consult a health care professional before buying any weight loss products."
