“Seven-day” weight loss pill
Losing weight is one of the top priorities for many people these days. It seems that people are willing to try just about anything in hopes of losing weight. Including a pill that advertizes that a person will lose “ten pounds in just seven days” guaranteed or your money back. They promise fast results, and urge consumers not to waste time with other methods (i.e. exercising, well balanced diet etc.). They claim that this pill is a revolutionary pill that is superior to other form of diet pills that are currently on the market.

The pill advertizes “facts” which are baseless, in that they offer no evidence of their own or independent evidence in support of their “facts”. They claim that the pill does three things 1) Fat burning- which they claim has been proven to increase the fat-burning process by as much as 85%. 2) Appetite suppression- the ingredients in the pill has been clinically-proven appetite suppressants. Finally, 3) All-natural detox- the world's only diet pill formulated with the best all-natural detoxifying and cleansing ingredients to flush away stored waste (fat) and unwanted toxins currently disrupting your metabolism and digestive system.

As stated earlier, many people are desperate to lose weight and are willing to try a quick solution such as investing money and time into pills like this. There are many media influences that play a role here, for instance we always see celebrities losing weight quicker than us which leads us to believe that there must be quick solution out there. Thus, the emergence of products that promise quick solutions offer hope to many.

Advertisers state that there are quick solutions out there and celebrities are often cited as proof without the celebrities consent at times. Advertisers cleverly use scientific phrases like “clinically proven” or “scientific studies have shown” in order to gain credentials; this is a classic argument from authority. Often there is no outside verification of any claims made by them. Furthermore, the website selling these types of pills seems to imply that consumers should take their word for it, even though there clearly is a strong case of bias; as they stand to greatly benefit from selling this product.

Consumers should take into consideration some of the claims, including but not limited to; if this diet pill could achieve all of these things then this pill would have been much more sought-after, expensive and a hot research topic, and more doctors would be endorsing it. The scientific community encourages people not to turn to these types of false and at times risky methods in hopes of losing weight quickly. Losing weight should be done safely and the right way which will help you lose weight for real. In conclusion, the evidence presented by these advertisers do not in any way follow the scientific method, and the basis of this diet pill is baseless. Until real scientific research energies in support of this pill diet, it should be avoided at all cost.
