The Peel Away the Pounds Diet plan involves a patch that supposedly helps you lose weight. Without a meal plan, exercise, and other weight loss supplements, the patch claims that it takes effect even without doing anything.
The patch is made up of two herbal ingredients. The first important element, called the Fucus Vesiculosus, is commonly found in kelp and seaweeds. The other ingredient, called the Garcinia Cambogia, is a well-known Indian herb.
The Peel Away the Pounds Diet program claims that when these two ingredients are absorbed, it facilitates the weight loss process.
In 1965, a comprehensive research was done with HCA or Hydrocytric Acid, a major acid found in Garcinia Cambogia. They studied the effect of HCA on an animal model and discovered it suppresses fatty acid synthesis and food intake. The study proves that weight loss was achieved within the animal models.
However, there are still no studies, with human participants, that show the same results with the animals.
Once you have purchased the patch, you only need to apply the patch on your arm. Applied just like an ordinary band-aid and looks like nicotine patches, the product claims to achieve losing five to ten pounds per week.
The concept behind this magic patch is based on a theory that when applied to the skin, it suppresses the dieter’s appetite. Because of this, the person wearing the patch eats less and loses 1 pound a day.
The weird thing about the application of the patch is there are no directions as to how long the patch would take effect. There is no set time wherein the dieter should wear the patch.
The Peel Away the Pounds has its own downside. Users of the patch may experience stomach cramps, constipation and headaches.
Another weak point of the Peel Away the Pounds Diet is that it may be too expensive for the ordinary dieter. The market price of a 30-day stock of the patch would cost $120.
In addition to the magic patch, they also recommend their “Drink and Shrink” meal replacement diet program, which would cost roughly about $50 for 42 containers.
Studies on this product have shown that neither the patch nor both its ingredients prove to stimulate weight loss.
If you wish to give the Peel Away the Pounds Diet a try, consult with you physician to prevent allergic reactions.
