London, Aug 8 (IANS) For years, nicotine patches have been used by people to quit smoking. The latest fad is weight loss patches.
Already popular with celebrities, including Paris Hilton, the patches are a 2 inch square sticking plaster and can be attached to any part of the body.
They suppress hunger pangs and help the body burn off fat. Traditional weight loss pills have been found to damage the liver.
“The patches work by increasing the body’s ability to burn the fat it receives through food, while at the same time reducing cravings to binge eat. You consume less fat and the fat you do consume is metabolised quicker,” express.co.uk quoted the spokesperson of weight patch makers SlimWeight as saying.
“By simply applying one weight loss patch a day you can go about your routine safe in the knowledge that you’re burning fat and reducing your cravings,” the spokesperson added.
