Will I Lose Weight And Increase My Metabolism With Metabolife 356?

Stephanie: Do you know anything about the weight loss product Metabolife 356, which is supposed to suppress your appetite and increase your metabolism?

The label says it has been clinically tested, but nowadays, we're not really sure what that means.

Dr. Dean: You get a gold star. "Clinically tested" does not mean anything. There is no such thing as a product that will increase your metabolism and make you lose weight.

There is one prescription drug that might be a bit effective, but even that comes up against the basic question about weight loss pills: Are you going to take them for the rest of your life? If the answer is no, which I sure hope it is, then when you stop taking the pills you are back to where you started.

I do not know Metabolife 356, but believe me if a product existed that let us magically lose weight, we would all know about it. Heck, I would advertise it on my show, put my name on it, and bottle and sell it.

Be very, very, careful. Well, you are careful, that's why you called. You didn't just plunk your money down. You said, hey, what is this?

Let me warn you not to be fooled by friends who try those pills and lose weight. They will lose weight with the pills, because they will also go on a diet.
