Best slimming product: the signs of a scam

On every blog and website specializing in weight loss supplements, you’ll find a flagship product touted as the best slimming product of all time. Some sources are honest, while others simply relay articles by other authors or are simply sponsored to present said pill as the best slimming product.

How do you know whether a review is a scam or an honest and trustworthy opinion? Which sources should you trust to find the best slimming product?

Here are the telltale signs that you’re looking at a banner ad.

Sign 1: You’re on the official website of the world’s best slimming product!

We’re not saying that you shouldn’t believe any of the information on the official websites of weight-loss supplements, because they are, above all, the first source of information. But you can guess that every manufacturer will claim that their product is the best slimming product in the world.

To find the truth, look beyond the flashy XXL banner on the home page and move on to the other pages, where there should be information on composition, side effects and clinical tests.

Sign 2: There’s only one trustworthy supplement, the world’s best slimming product!

On this kind of site/blog, all other products are worthless. They’re all useless, overpriced or dangerous. The only product that can help you solve your weight problems is the supplement they advertise.

However, we can guarantee that there are several safe and effective weight-loss products on the market. You’ll find a good number of them in the Approved Pills section of our site, which features, rest assured, more than just one product!

In this category of sites/blogs, there are two types:

• Those that make no effort and are easy to unmask: the site is entirely dedicated to the product in question. All the articles are repeats and rewrites of the same text to tell you how this pill is made for you.
• The ones that are smarter and require you to keep your wits about you. A comparison here, an article on another product there, just to make you believe that the author is objective and trying to give you an honest opinion.

However, the result is always sharp. No product compares to their best slimming product. At the bottom of every article, the last paragraph is always devoted to “the other alternative”, “the product that works”. Guess which one. Well done!

Sign 3: The best slimming product has no drawbacks, no side effects, absolutely perfect!

Because the slimming pill advertised on this site is by far the best slimming product in the world, there’s nothing to complain about.

No drawbacks? None whatsoever.
No possible side effects, even minor ones? None whatsoever.
No precautions to take before ordering? But since we say no! Get out your credit card and pay.

However, we know enough about the diet pill industry to tell you that there’s no such thing as a perfect diet product. Even the supplements in our Top Approved Pills are not perfect. There’s always a precaution to take, a health condition to consider, a side effect however small and almost insignificant, but one you have a right to know about.

So if a website guarantees you that such and such a product has ZERO disadvantages, don’t bother!

Then there are the clever ones who’ll pretend to be honest and come up with “the bottle isn’t pretty”. We rely on your common sense to unmask this kind of unscrupulous attitude.

Sign 4: The Tested and Approved scam

Who tested it? Where? How? What results?

These are the questions you need to ask yourself every time you see this label. A real test isn’t just a banner to put on your website. To believe it, you need to find traces of the test.

And here again, be vigilant. Don’t put too much faith in user testimonials and before-and-after photos. Testimonials can be fabricated, and photos can be edited to show weight loss.

Besides, in our tests and surveys in search of the best slimming product, we don’t really take user testimonials and before/after photos into consideration. We don’t accuse everyone of faking them, but they never influence our judgment of a product, whether positive or negative.

So where should I look for the best slimming product?

Despite all the scams out there, the Internet is still your source of information. It’s just that you need to know where to look for reliable, trustworthy information.

We all know the difference between a well-structured survey with reference links to back up the claims made, and a simple advertising article that requires no effort to write, or to read for that matter.

So, to find the best slimming product, you need to have a sharp mind and question everything you read. Do your research, look beyond marketing formulas and try to find out more – the truth is never far away.
