Weight-Loss Patch
Can a weight-loss patch achieve fat loss?
'Claims that patches, creams and wraps can cause
substantial weight loss are a “red flag” for falsity'
Howard Beales (Consumer Protection- FTC)
A weight loss patch is a weight loss product or device that s stuck to your skin and is claimed to result to weight loss. They deliver their slimming ingredients directly into your blood stream and these are what result to the loss of weight.
In some respect, a weight loss patch is just like a weight loss pill only that it delivers its ingredients through the skin. However unlike the pills, weight-loss patches are considered even more controversial. They generally are thought to be scam or bogus.
Examples of such the more popular weight loss patches include Hdrogel Slim Patch, Slendersrip, Son of Svelt, Body science slimming patch and Bell EREE Slimming Patch.
The weight loss guide, Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle, discusses such weight loss products as support structures. Lack of effective and long-term support structures is listed as one of the top 4 reasons for weight loss failure, in this guide.
But is a weight loss patch effective as a weight-loss support structure?
Weight loss patch technology
Weight-loss patches use a technology called transdermal delivery. Transdermal weight-loss patches release their “slimming supplements” from an enclosed device that is usually stuck to your upper body. It releases these supplements in a controlled manner through your skin membrane directly into the blood stream.
This same technology is used in delivering contraceptives and cigarette control drugs.
Transdermal delivery is technically known to be very effective in delivering supplements into the bloodstream. This direct delivery bypasses the liver that would reduce their effectiveness.
Ingredients of these weight loss products
Some of the most common used ingredients include:
Garcinia cambogis: This is an exotic fruit from South India. It is used in many weight loss products, both supplements as well as pharmaceutical. It is suspected to reduce cholesterol as well as control appetite. It is also known for its fat burning properties.
Its active ingredient is Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA) that inhibits lipogenesis, lowers cholesterol production as well as the production of fatty acids and increases glycogen production by the liver. HCA inhibition of the conversion of carbohydrate to body fat (lipogenesis) is still not proven according to the American Medical Association journal.
Fucus Vericulosis:
This is a plant source that contains high amounts of trace minerals. One of these minerals is Iodine that is necessary for a healthy thyroid gland. A healthy thyroid keeps energy levels high therefore speeding calorie burn, increasing digestion and intestinal functions.
Guarama:
A climbing shrub found in Brazil, key ingredient in combating symptoms of poor weight loss techniques. It is a high-energy source that increases mental alertness fights fatigue, slows the pulse inhibits appetite and is also a mood elevator. It is a stimulant with mild fat burning and thermogenic properties.
Menthol:
A typical anti-septic that enhances delivery of weight-loss patches. It prepares the skin to accept formula by opening skin pores to facilitate absorption.
Chromium:
Useful to regulate insulin functions and balance blood sugar levels.
Weight loss patch failure
According to Howard Beales, director of the Federal Trade Commission’s Bureau of Consumer Protection in the US, “Claims that patches, creams and wraps can cause substantial weight loss are a ‘red flag’ for falsity. Marketers should not make those claims; media should not run them; and consumers shouldn’t buy them”
Why such a hard stance against weight loss patches?
Weight-loss patches are not considered as drugs. Therefore they are not regulated as such. They are technically diet supplements. The controversy they face is similar to that of weight loss pills. Only this time it is more fierce.
The lack of effectiveness of a weight-loss patch lies in its ingredients and not exactly in its delivery technology. The efficacy of the ingredient many times is in question. The effect they are said to use to result to loss of weight many time is not significant. For example, increase in metabolic rate using a weight-loss patch is often not enough to result to significant weight loss. And even if it were, the fact that there is still over consumption of calories, it would have no effect on your weight.
The theory behind weight loss patches seems to be incomplete. They try to address the weight loss part, may times unsuccessfully, and do not include maintenance of your newfound weight.
The truth of the matter is, for weight loss to occur you need an effective and sustainable negative calorie balance. This is to say the calories you consume in a day should be less than the calories you need in that day. This negative calorie balance then urges your body to use its own energy reserves in form of body fat to fill the energy gap. In doing this you lose weight healthily and naturally. The weight-loss guide Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle entails such a strategy. A weight loss patch on the other hand coerces or forces your body into fat metabolism.
To use any weight loss product it is best you understand the weight loss process. In so doing you will be able to see through these kinds of fundamentals errors in dieting programs and diet patches.
