Fat Patches: Do They Work?

patch First there was a patch designed to help people stop smoking. After that, I figured it would only be a matter of time before someone created a patch to assist with fat loss, and just as suspected, fat patches have now infiltrated the growing list of weight control aids. The patches don’t suck fat out of your body, of course (God, that would be nasty), instead they release ingredients into your system which aid in fat loss.

How Do Patches Work?
Transdermal patches use a passive diffusion method to transmit substances into the skin. The controlled release method reduces the impact of side effects which may be caused by the substances being released and also allows faster absorption into the bloodstream compared to say, a capsule. The substances in fat loss patches are generally appetite suppressors and metabolism enhancers, such as Guarana and tetrahydropiperine. One particular brand, Jen Fe, boasts having an ingredient called ForsLean, which they say has the benefits of ephedrine, but without the hazardous side effects. ForsLean also aids in preserving lean muscle mass during weight loss diets. Quite obviously this is beneficial, as it is not uncommon to lose muscle along with fat while dieting. Interestingly, the herb which ForsLean is extracted from has also been used to treat asthma, allergies, hypertension and angina.

Patches have been used in various capacities for a few decades now, and their effectiveness has been proven. As I haven’t used a fat loss patch, I can’t comment on whether or not they are worthy of the hype, but at the very least it is one more mortar shell in the cannon of weight control.

As you said, fat patches work but only if you cooperate with them. I mean, if you never changed anything in your life, I think our body would fail to stimulate these ingredients and we will not be able to lose our excess fat.

I believe those ingredients that you spoke are really good to absorb our fat and suppress our appetite but ForsLean? I doubt it. It contains ephedra and i think it’s still hard to separate ephedra and its hazardous side effects.

I ever heard the combination of diet supplement and fat patch work great but only if you know how to combine them properly. Be careful because both may cause side effects, especially drugs.

We went and visited my dad sister this week. She had stopped smoking but after 3 months or so she missed it and started back up, much to the disappointment of my dad. I told her about this great stop smoking pill, Chantix, any who.
Normally she will go outside and smoke. But I’ve noticed that she seems smoke in the bathroom if she is in there for longer stays.

Same with smoking patches I believe they do not work as good as people want them to. Most people want to believe more than anything.
