Step 1
Look for unrealistic promises. If a product advertises itself as a magic pill that makes you lose 10 pounds in 10 days, then it is probably a scam.
-
Step 2
Stay away from products labeled as fat, carbohydrate and sugar blockers. Many times these products cause stomach problems and end up blocking the absorption of important nutrients.
-
Step 3
Check out the photos from past users. If you see numerous dramatic before and after pictures in their advertising, then it is most likely a scam.
-
Step 4
Steer clear of herbal teas that promise to help you lose weight. These teas are usually high in caffeine and simply make you lose some water weight.
-
Step 5
Research any diet product before you buy it. In order to avoid scams, look online for consumer reviews. Don't use the company website for your research; it only contains biased reports.
-
Step 6
Read the fine print. If the product states that you need diet and exercise for the product to be effective, then it is a diet scam.
