Red Flag Claim 5

Consumers can safely lose more than three pounds per week for a period of more than four weeks.

Reality Check

Losing more than three pounds per week over multiple weeks can result in gallstones and other health complications, so the safety claim is false. If the claim also is that NO dieting is required, the claim is false for that reason too.

Variations

  • “Lose 30-40-50 pounds. Yes! You can lose three pounds per week, naturally and without side effects.”

  • “Neptune’s Potion is safe and effective,” with customer testimonials claiming more than 12 pounds of weight loss per month.
