I’m sure you’ve seen a commercial like this many times before. You see a weight loss supplement that offers almost instant results, and it appears too good to be true. Wait a minute?? At the end of the commercial, a doctor approves it and tells you how he/she has been using it to get these rapid results? This product may actually really work.

They forget to mention a few things during these commercials though. The first major detail being what type of doctor is he/she? You can have a doctorate in many different fields and be considered a doctor, but does that necessarily qualify you to give the safety approval for a supplement? The second thing that you must then wonder is whether or not they are practicing doctors at the moment or if they just hold the title “Doctor.” Last, just because they say they used the product doesn’t mean they actually have. The people in the commercials are making a lot of money to pretend they have taken a product and gotten results from them. I’m not saying that they haven’t taken the supplement they are advertising before, but I can almost guarantee those before and after pictures aren’t from that supplement alone.

When it comes down to weight loss, there is no instant cure besides liposuction. In order to lose body fat, it will take a clean diet and exercise. Don’t be fooled by the doctors in these commercials trying to tell you they got lean from these supplements alone. They have spent many hours in the gym and eaten many boring foods to get where they are today. A perfect example of a doctor approved product was hydroxycut. From the commercials, hydroxycut was doctor approved for both being safe and effective. Years later, it got taken off the market due to liver problems many people were experiencing. Liver issues can be life threatening. How comfortable do you feel about taking commercial doctor approved supplements now?
