Blogger Claims Company Swiped Her Weight-Loss Photos
Wouldn't it be incredible if "fat melted off like butter" without diet or exercise? And all it took was just popping a natural daily supplement or two?
Unfortunately, that's not how it works, as blogger Roni Noone knows very well. It took her 12 months to drop 70 pounds and, as she writes on her blog chronicling her weight loss and her effort to get off the yo-yo dieting cycle, "It was frickin' hard and sometimes I was HUNGRY but I kept at it."
So noone says she was surprised to spot her actual before and after photographs that she had posted on her blog — taken exactly one year apart — being used as a Facebook ad for supplements called "Garcinia Cambogia XT" and "Natural Cleanse Plus," which claimed that the pictures were taken over the course of just 30 days and that "New York blogger Jess" had lost nearly 30 pounds over five weeks while taking both pills.
Some choice comments:
"I know she lost it in 12 months, but 30 days would be a disease I am sure."
"Lose weight fast companies should all be criminal! Im not joking! After watching my mother try EVERY diet that she could afford or get on credit, i decided that must not be the way to go."
"The fastest way I have found to lose weight is to obtain cancer. Been there, done that. No thanks."
