From the Federal Trade Commission:

Sensa buyers gain refund checks

If you’re seeing more ads for health and weight loss products, here are a few things to keep in mind:

• The most effective way to lose weight is to eat fewer calories and get more exercise. Claims that you can lose weight without changing habits simply aren’t true.
• Research the company or the product before you make a decision to buy. Make your own decision about how much you want to rely on a testimonial or endorsement.
• Experts say some claims — like “eat what you want and still lose weight” — just can’t be true. Your habits and health concerns are unique, so team up with your health care provider to design a program that suits your lifestyle.
