What is it? A friend of mine who is pretty overweight (5'5 and well over 200lbs) just posted a picture of a patch on her shoulder and someone commented asking her what it was and she posted the product link. I guess it's some sort of weightloss patch? I didn't know they made those. Anyone know if and how they work? I'm not interested in it just curious to know what she stuck on her.

    Wrong, searched and the first thing that popped was a prescription medication, (I thought it was that one because I'm blonde and didn't read the whole thing).
    This one however is crap MLM.

    It is NOT a prescription. It is a MLM product. Much like Shakeology, Herbalife, etc. I see it on my FB feed constantly.

    Read on to see the benefits of becoming one of their shillers. It's really quite a sham.

    All mlm stuff is a waste of time and money. For weight loss, all you need is a calorie deficit.

    That's unfortunate. I'm glad she's trying to take steps in the right direction ... Sort of.

    She's not, though. If you care about your friend give her a heads' up about this. It's snake oil. Send her the link to the promoters page if nothing else.
