Crappy weight loss ads
I just clicked one of those ads that claimed to have "1 weird old tip" to get rid of belly fat. Those ads are usually long tirades about how this tips is soooooo great, but takes like 4 pages to actually tell you what the tip is if they even ever do and it's usually something stupid like never eat bananas. So out of sheer curiosity i clicked on it and it turned out to be an add for a green coffee bean cleanse diet apparently seen on Dr. Oz.
First of all, i don't think eating green coffee beans in our country can be categorized as an old tip. To me it sounds like something new that science has discovered in it's quest to find healthy things nature because it's profitable to say so (as well as being possibly/probably also being somewhat scientifically viable). In all fairness though i am not a folklore specialist and i could be wrong - maybe it is something that people in somewhere in our country have done for a long time. Also, the title could be referring to an old tip in another country. Still, i'm saying that i feel for me it was misleading because the article did not explain how it was an "old tip" or how it was "weird". (honestly there a lot weirder things than eating coffee beans)
The article goes on to say the science behind the green coffee bean as it affects blood sugar, esp when used with a colon cleanse and the results that the journalist got when she tried it herself. lost 27 pounds in a month. great. fantastic. can't argue with those results. it works.
What the article doesn't tell you is what a cleans is. it doesn't tell you that while you may feel you have more energy after the first week, you usually feel like total crap for 2 -3 days while toxin leave your system. That you spend a lot of time on the toilet. While nothing to childish over, it may not be pleasant either. The article didn't talk about how you are supposed to eat or if there is exercise involved. The article didn't talk about about long you are supposed to take this supplement, side affects or what happens when you stop taking it. It didn't talk about long you would keep the weight off or what kind of maintenance was needed.
I suppose as an add for that product it wouldn't; the goal for such an article is get you to buy the product by making you think this is an easy answer to your overweight problem.
I hate things like. while the product will do what it says, it will help you lose weight, it is short term; it will not solve an overweight problem and is not a weight loss solution. but most people won't be able to read it that way. ads like that make me so mad.
