Do you know the amount of money spent on diet supplements each year? Brace yourself!

The answer is $60 billion dollars. Think about how much this is! That’s a lot of zeros!

This shows you two things. First, millions of people around the globe are hoping to lose weight. Next, these people are so eager to drop some pounds that they are willing to spend their money in order to try to get faster results.

Unfortunately, a lot of these products are nothing but scams. Usually these “scams” come in two different forms. Either the product just doesn’t work, or the cost of the product is ridiculously high.

As an example, I was browsing through the store the other day and found a diet product that was selling for 70 bucks. It had a flashy label, great packaging and lots of promises about how it can help anyone lose weight.

What was in this magic pill? Nothing more than green tea extract pills……

Now - green tea extract is thought to be somewhat helpful in the fight against weight loss, however, don’t think for a second these pills are worth this much.

In fact, I found a bottle of pills with the IDENTICAL ingredients, but it was simply being marketed as green tea extract and not as a miracle weight loss pill.

Guess how much it was? A whopping $6.99.

Sadly, the people selling the overpriced version is simply taking advantage of overweight people’s emotions and pushing their product with hyped-up marketing. And unfortunately, there’s a lot of buyers.

And trust me, this product alone will never give you a big jump in your weight loss goals. It might be a tiny help, but it certainly isn’t the solution to weight loss.

The best diet pills or best weight loss supplements don’t only contain one ingredient. Look for a product that contains a good number of different ingredients or herbs. This gives you a variety of tools that it can use to drop the weight off.

Now, I don’t want to give the idea that no pill is worth $69.99. Truthfully, there are some great diet pills that are in this price range. However,But I promise you that the good ones don’t just have one ingredient in them.
