Have you seen the Ads and ever realized they are taken out of context? I happen to be on here and looked over to the side of the page and seen an ad for weight loss pills. The ad shows a morbidly obese woman and it said something like you will be shocked to see her transformation blah blah blah.
The thing is I happen to recognize the woman in the ad from somewhere and then it hit me. My wife likes weird stuff she used to watch my 600lb life. That show is where I had seen the lady before.
What they did was cut a clip of one of the scenes on the show where her kid is trying to help her get up but you wouldn't know that from the ad. You would think she lost weight through some pill or diet.
Nope she was a gastric bypass patient who lost weight by having the procedure done. Have you noticed how things get taken out of context or does it go unnoticed by you most times?

So true. Anything and everything could be sugar-coated or photo-shopped/edited.

I rather believe to those who gives healthy diet lifestyle, like thebsoup or shake that they need to intake as their meal. I saw a lot of friends who had undergone that diet from a diet company. They did not take pills... They just mixed the food for you and that will be your food for the whole days. And weeks.

Yes and it works the problem usually comes after when they lose the weight and stop eating the special foods they were selling them that are dehydrated and specially altered. They start eating regular food and they start to get big again.
There are very few people who leave those programs and keep the weight off permanently.

I think that those miracle pills to lose weight or those miracle creams to stop aging are all scams.
