When is a diet pill worth $153?

1. I hate that commerical.

Whoever made it deserves to be shot.

[Liberal Veteran]

3. And why $153? Why isn't it $149.99 like everything else?

:D

[tridim]

7. It's the ultimate scam

I feel sorry for people who get suckered in. "Oooh it's $153! It must really be expensive because it works!"

2. Ummm, never

I hate that commercial too

5. Whenever I see that I think....

+



= that woman on the Leptoprin commercial

4. When it's powerful enough to be too powerful for the

casual dieter. If you're looking to lose five or ten vanity pounds, this is NOT the pill for you. But if you want to lose twenty, thirty, even fifty pounds, Leptiprin is for you.

6. I checked its ingredients label out

It's just plain old ephedrine/caffein/aspirin with a bunch of herbs that do little or nothing. The "ECA Stack".

You can make your own "ECA Stack" for about 12 cents a dose.

ECA is a useful weight-loss approach, but you really have to consult with a physician. If you have high blood pressure, it can be risky, and should then be used with a diuretic.

But why go to all that trouble when some bogus medical company stands to fleece desperate, shame-stricken customers of over $5 per day? And don't even get me started on boner pills!

8. First time I saw that ad, I did a search on the internet to see if it work

I really love the internet. I found out most people didn't loose anything with those pills but money.

9. I saved a lot of money

... and lost 50+ lbs. by changing to a nearly vegetarian diet. Not only did I lose the pounds, but I've also been able to keep them off for the last 5 years without really any effort on my part. ;)

10. Be sure to get enough vitamin B12

Either from inadequate intake or from absorption problems, B12 is a serious issue. I know firsthand...

13. And then there's Cortisol,

"that nasty little stress hormone".
