I opened e-mail this morning and saw the above ad. (I‘ve cut off the product.) Ads like the one above give everyone a bad name. The difference between those pictures is WAY more than 35 pounds. Taking a pill without changing your life will not do that for you.
Lieing diet ads give the weight loss industry a bad name. People get suckered into the product. When they fail, they give up and remain unhealthy. Plus they give people false expectations. You can lose weight, but it takes more than a pill.
Lieing diet ads give the advertising industry a bad name. People assume that if some ads are misleading, then they all are. Note from someone that does this for a living: It is BAD business to mislead potential customers in your advertising. Sure you could gain short-term. But once people catch on, it will catch up with you.

I completely agree with the advertising lies. It's unbelievable what they can get away with.
Thanks, Amy Jo. I appreciate feedback. Setting people up for failure is cruel and speaking as someone in advertising, it's bad business.
