Rep Power: 348303 | | | Gullible?
You sound pretty gullible if you believe some free pill is going to be your savior with regards to overall health and fat loss.
That's my opinion, surely, nothing more.

Rep Power: 348303 | | | Sorry you let my opinion upset you so much that you felt the need to negatively rep me. I was simply stating my opinion... that being that no pill is going to take the place of hard, consistent effort, is all. That's what this medium of exchange is for... the exchange of ideas.
I found it amusing that you mentioned gullibility and in the very same post mentioned that the 'freeness' of said pills made it different. I wasn't aware there was a price on gullibility.
The marketing machine will always win against the gullibility of the public, I suppose, and such a thing should never be a surprise to me anymore.

Losing weight is not difficult... Doesn't require all that much effort just consistency and a realistic plan... Why risk your health for osmething free...

Rep Power: 348303 | | | None of that matters if it's free, Mal.
Dummy.
Not to mention the short sightedness of it all....
What happens when they do actually find a pill that works, god forbid? Are people really that shallow nowadays that they could give two craps about health... it's only appearance that matters. Would exercise no longer matter? Heart health? Strength? Bone and muscle mass?
And what about once, again, supposing they found a magic pill.... what about once you reach your goal weight. Does the pill also magically change your habits and mentality? Or do you stop taking the pills and gain it all back and start the yoyo process again. In that case they're just taking the place of starvation diets without the hunger. Ohhh, or I suppose you take the pills until the day you die. I wonder if people would actually put that much faith in a product that doesn't have a track record?
I'm just ranting a bit, of course I know the answers to these questions... nothing really surprises me. When I saw people running to the shelves to take a pill that makes you poop your pants yet also can help in weight loss I threw my arms in the air in surrender.

Rep Power: 1392 | | | LOL @ pill that makes pple poop pants. must be talking about that ali one hahah. one of my friends was on it and she felt like she had to starve herself in fear of not pooping her pants in public and surprise surprise she did loose weight (mind you, probably not a lot of fat, but a lot of muscle) hehe. what people do for a quick fix *shakes head*
to anyone considering the trial that soni is neglectfully advertising: it is called a trial because the harmful side effects are UNKNOWN at this point. do you want to be someones lab rat?
there is no secret to weightloss. just find out how many calories you need to eat to be in a deficit and exercise! that simple i promise lol |

Rep Power: 293642 | | | No, soni is not dumb at all. IMO, he/she/it is the one offering this "free trial". Like, newbride said, SCAM ALERT. The owners of these diet pill companies always seem to play the same game of pretending they're a consumer on the stuff and they're giving an honest opinion of how great it is. I wonder what information you get when you email soni for the address. You'll be lucky if you ever get away from that spammer unscathed LOL.

Funny that all three of his posts were inside 20 minutes in this thread when he went from asking the question about the trial to having the info that you just had to PM him to join the fun. How generous of a 20 minute newbie to be willing to share info with the whole forum via PM!
