No other type of healthcare fraud results in more complaints to the FTC than fake weight loss products and programs. Because it rakes in nearly $70 billion a year, you can see why the weight loss industry is so attractive to scammers looking to make a buck! Some fake weight loss products cited in FTC complaints simply don’t work as advertised, but others pose a health hazard. USDA investigations of shady weight loss products have found that some contain controlled or illegal substances, including those with serious side effects like increased risk of heart attack or stroke. To avoid getting ripped off (or worse), here are a few red flags to look for around weight loss programs and products: • Grandiose claims (ex. “revolutionary,” “miraculous,” “scientific breakthrough”) • Specific promises (ex. “You’ll lose X pounds a week!”) • Sounds too good to be true (ex. “Eat whatever you want and still lose weight!”) If you’re interested in losing weight, the safest way to do so is through diet and exercise. Seek the advice of a trusted healthcare professional, and don’t waste your money on sketchy weight loss products, including drugs, patches, or wraps.
