Dr. Amazo's formula not only dissolves fat, but gives you energy!

Get rid of a lifetime of stored toxins and waste materials that cause you to be fat! Lose 10 pounds in 10 days without dieting or exercise! Believe these claims or not, weight loss and diet products make them constantly, and even more bold claims.

Hogwash! Americans still spend upwards of $40 billion on fad products that mostly don't work. That doesn't stop people from coming up with all sorts of crazy diets and weight loss products. Remember Beyonce's starvation “master cleanse” diet? It consisted of taking in nothing but lemon juice, maple syrup, cayenne pepper and water. Seriously! It also supposedly cleans the system from years of built up toxins. Who knew, maple syrup destroys toxins. Next time a poisonous snake bites someone have them eat some pancakes. Then we have the pills, creams, drinks and supplements that miraculously remove weight. Remember Fen-Fen? The people who contracted heart conditions sure do.

Another diet is the VLCD or Very Low Calorie Diet. They work, and studies have tested and proven it. The problem is they are often sold to people for home use to drop a few pounds. The issue is that's not how VLCDs were designed. When people are so much overweight it becomes a health problem, VLCDs were made to come to the rescue. These diets are designed to be used under medical supervision in a closed setting where people can't cheat. When used outside those parameters people tend to cheat, and what's worse they can incur serious health concerns.

Rapid weight loss causes a number of health problems. Gallstones, dehydration, malnutrition and even protein poisoning can incur as a result of the severe caloric starvation involved in VLCDs.

Rapid weight loss is a great idea. But it's not for most people, and should be administered and supervised by qualified medical professionals.
