This question has come up many times since Lipozene entered the market with claims there was no need to change your lifestyle to lose weight with Lipozene. Are the claims true or false? Does Lipozene work? You judge for yourself.
Overview
The manufacturer of Lipozene has made many claims about the product, claims that are not only false but unbelievable. They were even fined at one point by the Federal Trade Commission for their misleading advertisements. The truth is, you have to be careful what you believe and make sure to do research to find out yourself.
Claims
The manufacturer has made many unsubstantiated claims about Lipozene such as the following:
- Clinical studies have been conducted that prove the effectiveness of Lipozene but none of these studies can be located.
- Many advertisements of risk-free trial offers have been shut down by the FTC because of the lack of honesty. Apparently, they don’t tell consumers that if they don’t return the product within 30 days, they will be charged as much as $80 and automatically receive a new shipment every month.
- Claims that the dietary fiber in Lipozene makes you eat less because it creates a feeling of fullness may or may not be true, but they don’t tell you Glucomannan could possibly cause obstructions in the stomach and the entire digestive tract. Also, the fiber in Lipozene comes nowhere near the recommended dosage of 25 grams daily.
Will Lipozene Continue Their False Claims?
Most of the time when a company or individual is caught making false claims, they revise what they are saying to reflect something more neutral. This is not the case with the manufacturer of Lipozene and with “good” reason (at least in their minds). They lost $1.5 million in a Federal Trade Commission lawsuit, so they have to find a way to recoup their loss.
Consumers are still complaining about being overcharged and stating the product didn’t work for them. Yet, the company still continues to make claims that consumers only need to take Lipozene in order to lose weight: no exercise or change in diet is necessary. Those who believe these claims are looking for a magic pill, and that just doesn’t exist. It takes work to lose weight—at least for the long-term—and a pill isn’t going to provide that.
Conclusion
While Lipozene is not a scam in the usual manner (taking your money and not providing the product or service), it is still a scam in terms of false advertising. Most people know it is impossible to lose weight without exercising and reducing calories, but when presented with the possibility they might be able to do that, they decide to try it. Choosing foods that burn fat, exercising, and reducing calorie intake is the answer. Unless the individual makes lifestyle changes—adding an ongoing exercise program and eating healthier—any weight they lose will be short-term. Don’t like exercise? Brisk walking or bicycling will help as will swimming. Just accept there is no way you can lose weight by just taking a pill.
