The 5 Biggest Supplement Scams That Promise Weight Loss (But Don’t Work!)
The weight loss supplement industry is a multi-billion-pound business, and it thrives on false promises. If you’ve ever spent money on fat burners, detox teas, metabolism boosters, or hormone-balancing supplements, hoping for an easy fix, you’re not alone. The problem isn’t you! It’s the misleading marketing designed to keep you stuck.
In this episode, I’m exposing the five biggest weight loss supplement scams that claim to help you burn fat, speed up metabolism, or balance your hormones, but actually do more harm than good.
We’ll cover:
- Why fat burners don’t actually burn fat (and can even slow metabolism)
- How appetite suppressants backfire and leave you with worse cravings
- The truth about detox teas and cleanses, why they don’t “reset” your body
- Why collagen isn’t a weight loss tool (and what to use instead)
- The problem with greens powders and why they don’t replace real food
- BONUS: The hormone-balancing supplement myth: why they don’t work unless you know what’s causing the imbalance
And more importantly, we’ll talk about what actually works for sustainable fat loss, without relying on expensive, overhyped supplements.
