I hate this sort of crap, selling magic pills and spells, playing on people?s insecurities that they might not match up to an air brushed plastic dream sold by glossy magazines.


And is it a coincidence that a Nuala is on their web site as a ?level one independent distributor??


And come to that, what is a ?level one independent distributor??


Good grief...

Maybe if you believe in it, then it works for you, maybe.


But in reality weight loss is down to burning more calories than you consume. That simple. Eat less, exercise more.


But the slimming industry is all about making money and that means they need something a little more complicated.


I do think that if you are making money from something, and I assume that?s why you are the sales contact on the product web site, you ought to come clean and not just pretend to be recommending a product out of the goodness of your heart.


I?m off for a bun.

As someone who's worked in the weight loss industry (the traditional healthy eating/exercise side of it) I can't help but be sceptical about using a patch to miraculously lose weight.


I do, however, agree that emotional issues come into play for many people as far as weight is concerned, but fail to see how a patch would help to deal with these? Surely the healthy eating and exercise route is more effective in achieving overall mind and body results?

Nualacoll is a genuine dulite and seems to have heart in the right place, so we'll give the benefit of the doubt. Guano and winged beans doesn't seem any worse than most of the 'health supplements' out there. Claims to miracle weight loss aside.

"The Jen Fe patch is an extraordinary, simple, self-adhesive information program for better looks and a beautiful figure. At the same time, the uptake of the ingredients contained in the patch is insignificant.


The Je Fe patch contains well-known substances from nutritional supplementation that can guide the healthy upkeep of the human body during scientifically recognized administration of the substance so that it is easier to maintain a beautiful figure. The uptake of the substance from the patch, however, is so minute that the benefits for the beautification and maintenance of the body can not be explained according to conventional ways of thinking."


I thought it was clinically proven, nuala?


Interestingly, on the website there is precious little hard info about the product, and loads about how being a distributor is a great business opportunity.


Scam!

As a nutritional therapist, I find this sort of post both disappointing and alarming to come accross.


There are numerous reasons for people's weight problems, including emotional issues, hormonal imbalances, prescribed drugs, and most often, poor diet and lack of exercise! All of these can be dealt with in a number of different ways, but please do not be fooled by ads for quick magic slimming pills/patches/lotions and potions. There are some fantastic natural supplements that can indeed aid weight loss (mostly due to ingredients which reduce appetite or control the way the body absorbs the fats and sugars) but even they will only help when used to complement a healthy diet and exercise program. The old fashioned way of calories in versus calories out is still the only way proven to work.........short of drastic cosmetic surgery of course!?!


Good luck to everyone out there who is struggling to shift a few pounds, but please please PLEASE beware of handing your hard earned cash over to any sheme which promises quick results with no effort. It simply will not work!

It's true.. there is a saying along those lines. It's what girls say to men with small cocks when there's an embarrassing silence.


(So I'm told)

I just had a quick look at the tread and I will have to come back tomorrow, to your comment, I feel that this patch is not a dubious product and I'm going to leave it at that until tomorrow as I had a lovely time responding to a lovley tread.

There are some people who have a 'gland' problem, such as an underactive thyroid. Other people gain weight as a result of taking medication. But the majority of people who are fat are overeaters and undermovers. The bottom line is that very many of us, including the non-tubby, eat too much. And most of us don't take enough exercise. I don't doubt that changing one's eating and drinking and exercise habits is hard, but that is what is needed to lose weight and keep it off. Don't fall for patches and potions! Nero

    • There's not enough people talking about this - I've often worried about it too  One busy staff's mistakes will not make my pockets lighter, thank you very much. Thanks Sue and all the best for the new year. 
    • I don't want to name a shop, but I have twice at this busy time of year had an issue, and yesterday was overcharged when buying a number of small things. If you are using a shop which doesn't give an itemised receipt, or doesn't give a receipt at all, just be aware that it might be a good idea to check that you are not paying over the odds (and if using cash, that you are given the right change for what you handed over). When staff are busy they might make mistakes.
    • As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas!
