There are two moments of the year that push people to spend money on products and “strategies” to lose weight that prove to be totally useless.
Money that could be used for other purposes, from cinema to all-inclusive weekends, for figures ranging from 20/30 euros up to 4/500 euros, and which instead we allocate to quick solutions to lose weight, from the supplement ordered on the internet to the package complete detox.

In this article I will therefore list 10 weight loss products that are not useful for slimming our body, but undoubtedly our wallet.

If you are tempted to try them, the list below will definitely make you change your mind. I hope.

10 PRODUCTS TO LOSE LOSS THAT DON’T WORK

1. The supplement for weight loss .
   In recent years I have tested chitosan, celery stalk, garcinia cambogia, caffeine and guarana fat burner, hundred herbs, thousand herbs, purifying herbal tea, raspberry ketones, green coffee and so on.
   Do not work.
   Worse still, they contain substances that can poison your liver. So far the only supplement that does something, but not for everyone (in the sense that being a kind of natural rubber it can cause intestinal problems), is glucomannan, which I am talking about here .
   For the rest, from cactus to berry to monk tea, you are wasting your money.
2. The detox treatment, soups plus juices or just juices.
   These are products for a detox treatment ranging from a minimum of one to a maximum of 4-5 days, for an expense that therefore ranges, depending on the company, from 50 to 400 euros.
   All for a detox that you could, if you really want to do it, do it for free with a diet like this one .
   The effect is the same.
   Not to mention those who buy the complete package, spend as much as a weekend in Capri, and after the first half day of shakes they have colic, a sense of weakness, a drop in sugar with an accompanying fainting.
3. The slimming shorts.
   The sheath, the shorts that just wearing it makes you feel flatter, and which in theory you should put under your clothes for a sauna effect? No, it doesn’t work.
   You sweat, you lose fluids that will initially give your body a more compact effect thanks to the pressure of the garment on the skin. Once the torture is removed, drink and wait a couple of days.
   You will be practically identical to before.
   This is because it is not true that the heat of the garment melts fat cells, nor that the sauna effect frees you of toxins. I used these tortures for months before I realized that I was putting my health at risk, worsening the circulation in my legs and stomach, and if I got rid of them I would return to the same as before.
4. The corset.
   It’s been coming into fashion ever since Kim Kardashian put it on for a tighter waistline right away. To the problems of the slimming shorts mentioned above is added the constriction that the corset or corset exerts on the internal organs, a wonderful way to ruin one’s health.
5. Aromatherapy.
   Bracelets with vanilla, coconut or mint essence for weight loss, have you ever heard of them? Sometimes these useless products that should distract us from eating come back, a bit like the walking dead. I’m talking about it here. 
6. Hypnosis for weight loss.
   No, hypnosis does not work on everyone, for example with my insomnia it misfired. But it can do nothing in regards to weight loss, while it does something only in case you suffer from nervous hunger.
   Here the testimony of a famous American hypnotist. 
7. The genetic test.
   Spend between 200 and 500 euros to have a genetic test at home that tells you what and how much to eat. Too bad that the genetic test that predicts your diet is in science like a film directed by JJ Abrams.
   Even those about food intolerances and allergies are met with skepticism from doctors.
   Imagine being able to have the whole list of foods that can make us lose weight because we are genetically predisposed to certain foods and not to others. Here and here the denials.
8. The fat dissolving cream.
   Apparently, the action on a topical level can be there, but it is very mild and absolutely an adjuvant: I talked about it here.
   In short, we cannot lose weight at night, reduce who knows how many cm of fat mass or similar stuff, and some of these creams, as a beautician told me, tend to create a “compact skin” effect that disappears after we no longer use them. . Let’s say that their effect needs to be resized. 
9. The body wrap.
   It is an aesthetic bandage treatment that I carried out a few years ago, where you are coated with various gels, swaddled like a mummy and placed under a car or on a table that heats you all up.
   Depending on the type of product they bring you, this wrap can be anti-cellulite, detox or slimming.
   On the detox effect, Dr. Sandra Fryhofer, interviewed in this article, says there is no scientific evidence; she on the slimming treatment, on the other hand, she explains that the effect is absolutely temporary, and cannot replace that of diet or exercise. I can only confirm.
10. Diuretics and laxatives.
    Here is the perfect way to eliminate the bacteria (even the good ones) in your intestine, alter our normal regularity, compromise digestion, get stressed, slow down your metabolism, create more or less serious bloating problems. None of these things are synonymous with weight loss.
