Overview

In today’s society, we seem to have patches for everything, and a weight loss patch is just one solution that dieters turn to.  With so many plans, methods, and ideas for losing weight, we look for answers to the following questions about a weight loss patch:

How And Where Do We Use A Weight Loss Patch?

You simply clean a small area of skin on your body, making sure there are no creams or powders in the area.  Do not apply it to your face, genital area, or directly above the heart.  Then apply the adhesive side of the weight loss patch and generally leave it on for 24 hours.  The next weight loss patch should be applied in a different area to avoid skin irritation.

What Is a Weight Loss Patch Made Of?

The weight loss patch consists of some type of seaweed, often the brown algae Fucus Vesiculosis, found off the shores of Britain and Ireland.  Seaweed wraps have long been used in spas and massage parlors in full body wraps, known to shrink inches off your body.  The weight loss patch works in much the same way, only on a much smaller scale.  The seaweed increases the iodine needed for the thyroid gland to function properly by increasing energy and stimulating the metabolism.  Other natural weight loss ingredients in a weight loss patch may include flaxseed oil, guarana, or yerba mate.

Advantages of a Weight Loss Patch

• Natural ingredients make it safe and easy to use.
• No need to skip or buy special meals.
• Balanced nutrition with all food groups included.

What’s On The Market for Weight Loss Patches?

• Shape-Patch has been around for over 12 years and been used by people in over 40 different countries.  Testimonials reveal that 90% of its users have received positive results, averaging 2 lbs. a week over a 60-day period.  They not only lost weight, they kept it off because their appetite had decreased while wearing the patch.  Various studies have been conducted, proving that this weight loss patch is safe for most people, even children ages 6 to 12. 
• Hoodia Patch contains the same, much talked about Hoodia Gordonii, sold in pills and capsules and recommended by celebrities and would-be dieters around the world.  Wearing this weight loss patch is simpler than remembering to take a pill at a certain time of the day or night.  Whether full benefits of the herb are obtained is not assured to date.    
  Does it work?

The weight loss patch works for you day and night, awake or asleep.  It will increase your metabolism, stimulate the thyroid gland, and break down fatty tissue.  You will find yourself eating less and burning those unwanted calories.  Some have claimed that wearing a weight loss patch can result in losing 3 or more pounds a week, 15 lbs. in 4 weeks, or 20 in 6.  There is no evidence, however, that permanent weight loss will remain after the patch is removed.  Since it is not a crash diet, such claims should be viewed with some skepticism.  See http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2004/12/transdermal.shtm

Side Effects of Weight Loss Patch

• Possible skin irritation where the weight loss patch is applied.
• Can cause an overabundance of iodine in the system through extensive use.
• Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea may occur.

The fact that the herbal ingredients are transferred through the skin in small amounts means that there will be no breakdown of the ingredients through the bloodstream, and fewer side effects should occur.

Not Recommended For

• People with a thyroid condition, high blood pressure, or heart disease.
• Diabetics.
• If pregnant or nursing.

Conclusion

A weight loss patch is a safe method for getting rid of ugly fat.  To be effective, however, you must follow a balanced diet and some type of exercise or fitness routine.  Wearing a patch does not mean you can continue with the same poor eating habits, or sedentary lifestyle.  Although sea kelp has not been FDA approved, it is a natural product and there is no proof either that it is harmful in any way.  Always consult your physician first if you have any health conditions, are taking medication, or have concerns about the weight loss patch.
