i tried a certain brand endorsed by a certain FAMOUS Mediacorp actress(hint: she got act in Hollywood with jackie Chan!) I gained 2 kg instead, despite following the instructions. So now I try 2 exercise 4 times a week( swim 2 times a week 30 laps each time, and run 2 times a week, 4.6km each time). Within 2 weeks, i lost the 2 kg gained thanks 2 the slimming pills.
Moral of the story: What XXXX Wong eat may not have the same result for u. -

She said after 1 or 2 weeks (i can't remember), she lost 1% of her body weight.
An average girl weighs around... maybe 50 kg (i'm assuming)?
1% is 0.5kg.
You can lose that amount of weight just by getting stressed out from work too... -
I take it as you did not eat any more portion than usual and also did not eat fatty / oily food when you take the pills?Originally posted by nanren4ever:i tried a certain brand endorsed by a certain FAMOUS Mediacorp actress(hint: she got act in Hollywood with jackie Chan!)

lots of the usual bullshit made up "testimonies" to trick suckers?It is a known fact that testimonies put up by advertisers cannot be trusted.Even if there are really a few cases of true testimonies,it is likely to be a skewed one where they pick the few real sucessful cases out of the sample of maybe thousands (That is where the excuse come in where they tell you that your results may varies)Originally posted by borntolive:if so little sucess stories then why papers got so much envidences that their customers lost weight?
also read before that those pictures they put up in their advert are almost all photoshopped first to make them look slimmer. -
if 10000 ppl took it n 100 ppl succeeded in reducing their weight, do u consider that successful??Originally posted by borntolive:if so little sucess stories then why papers got so much envidences that their customers lost weight?
they only choose to show us what they want us to see.
just like the govt encouraging us to be entreprenur, for every successful person, there is a 1000 failures. -
What papers? research paper or newspaper?Originally posted by borntolive:if so little sucess stories then why papers got so much envidences that their customers lost weight? -
to be fair...Originally posted by GenX:lots of the usual bullshit made up "testimonies" to trick suckers?It is a known fact that testimonies put up by advertisers cannot be trusted.Even if there are really a few cases of true testimonies,it is likely to be a skewed one where they pick the few real sucessful cases out of the sample of maybe thousands (That is where the excuse come in where they tell you that your results may varies)
the result why they say results may vary may also be due to the fact that each indivdual is different and the company cannot control the individual eating habit or lifestyle.
There is hardly any pills that work 100%...surely got some % group of people that will not find it work...
Take for eg, if a customer did not loose weight BECAUSE he/she did not control the diet after taking the pills, is it the pills fault or the person's?
However, if he/she did follow instructions strictly and did not anyhow eat unnecessary food, then if it does not work, then can pint the fault to the pills.
Unless we want to go into genes...the arugment can be super long...
In my opinion, if the pills really work, why not ask those who are super overweight such as moses lim to test the pills? Using those already thin actress is credible??!!
Similary, for those pills that claim to increase the bust size, who did they pay for advertisement? Her bust is already big what ...maybe they can pay fann instead to show how good their pills are?
We, have been "brains wash" or "trained" since young to sort of trust advertisements for quality products isn't it? -
