Has anyone ordered these, used them and gotten any results yet?


I would like to order them but can't find any evidence that anyone has had the results it promises.


Also curious as to if you even get them after sending your credit card details.


Thanks.

Thanks

After being on the Atkinsons Dead Sea Patches now for two weeks, I have not had any change in weight.

After also trying Optislim for a month which did make me loose 2 dress sizes, I think the Dead sea patches are a scam because when you compare then, the dead sea patches seem to be more like stickers as though there is no ingredients in them.  The Optislim patches leave stuff behind and you feel a slight tingle in them as the ingredients go into your skins.

I'd like to hear otherwise on the dead sea patches though.... I definatley had a failure with them.

Hi, Thanks Ozzybecca for your update.  l agree with you about them being like little stickers with no ingredients.  l am interested to know how many you ordered and how long you are willing to try them for and if you are looking for a refund and if you are successful with that.  l am prepared to give them a fair go although it is quite obvious the advertising side of them was a little exagerated to say the least.  l am dropping a little weight as l go along but l don't think thay are altogether responsibe for that.  Also, tell me more about the other product you used.  They sounded as though they worked well for you.

Hi jmm,

I tried them for two weeks as that is the about the longest you can before the 30 day money back will allow you.  They have to be returned before the 30 days. 

I watched what I was eating although didn't excercise but didn't loose any weight.  They promise for you too loose weight with no change in diet or excersice but when you get them it says with a controlled diet and excercise!

Their customer service told me to try them for another week after them not working the first week and so I did and nothing worked.  So I sent them back.  That was last week.  I haven't heard back from them yet but will contact them next week and let you know about the refund.

The other product is Optislim.  I was doing well on them and lost a few dress sizes.  I was only on them for a few weeks then I got sick so I didn't use them when i was sick.  I went on the dead sea ones because they promised fast and big results however I know now from using them they are fake.  I don't know where you are from but I brought them in Australia at www.pharmacyonline.com.au for $34.95 each pack of 14.  I can't tell you what it's like long term for them as I've only just started back on them but I'm happy to get back to you in a few weeks and let you know my progress.  I also started a liquid which I dilute 4 caps full with a litre of water and drink throughout the day.  It's a herbal liquid from the pharmacy and it's great.  It detoxes your system and is a slimming agent too.  Makes you have diarea at first and feel a little tired then feel great as it's clearing out all the toxins and has stuff in it to assist you cleanse your body and loose weight.  Throughly recommended... will get back to you with the name of that too. 

Hi Becca,  thanks for your update.  You mentioned you have been in touch with their customer service dept. how did you do that?  Was that over the phone or by fax?  l cant find any phone numbers, l would be very interested to speak in person with them about their guarantees.  Keep in touch, thanks. .
Forgot to mention, l am from Melbourne Australia.  l was wondering also if the liquid you were referring too is what they call 4,3,2,1. Available from most chemists. lf so, what does it taste like, is it grose and hard to swallow? Earlier this year l tried a 15 day detox program which was hugely successful for me, and as l have watched many of my friends and family suffer from some dreaded flu this winter l have had nothing of the sorts.  l wonder if the detox has anything to do with this, as it made me feel real healthy.  l am usually the first to get a cold but so far this year l have had nothing, perhaps it is coincidence, l do not know.  Any idea what happened to "Hopeful" from Australia, she was another one who was trying the patches but l have not seen any report from her in recent times as to whether she was having any luck or not.  l have looked up heaps of sites that claim that weight loss patches are fantastic, how can so many claim this, if they do not work, or how do they get away with this false advertising as much as they do.  Many claim that they are tested and proven, geez, there must be something wrong with us then.  l would love to hear from just one person that has lost the so called 3kg per week they claim you can.  According to their promises l should be just a shadow of myself by now, l would love to give them the benefit of the doubt and keep trying them until l run out but if l do that will l forfeit my money back guarantee?

Hi Shazzel,


Yes I agree the dead sea patches were a scam... i eventually got all of my money back. Just email the address i provided each day until they answer... her name is Josephine.


The optislim worked for me... if you put it on each morning, make sure you drink at least 4 glasses of water a day (your food provides other water needed) and just steer clear of obvious junk food and carbs if you can. The rule is don't touch anything white! - potatoes, rice, white bread etc.... i found it hard on the second week after the excitment wore off and also seeing some result and thinking I could get away with having a treat here or there but it's not worth it... if you just get through to the forth week using the patches and eating healthy enough foods without being over the top, it really works. I suppose exercising would give much better results however I'm yet to conquor that!


Good luck, i look forward to hearing how you go!

Hi ozzybecca,Thanx for answering me.doing without white food isn't a problem,so I'll give it a go soon,then let you know .Only thing is I won't go without my alcohol on the weekends but that's ok cause it's amber not white.



cheers

Hi Shazzel,


I love my alcohol too on weekends!!! I found out from my doctor that if you don't eat anything while drinking, you will not put on weight. However, whatever you eat while drinking is bad because the alcohol stores the food away instead of breaking it down and so you can gain a lot of weight. This is why a lot of men who drink and eat chips or nuts at the bar have a big belly.... due to eating all that fat with beer. Also women who munch out on cheese, biscuits, dips etc regularly while drinking.... same thing. The best bet is to drink water instead of food which will not only fill your belly but help with keeping you hydrated and help will a less hangover the next day. Or, if I must nibble on something, celery sticks, carrot sticks or fruit.....


I actually don't feel like eating when I drink cause it fills me up too much but the glass of water really works. For me when I get home from drinking when I used to get maccas on the way home or make cheese and tomato toasted sandwiches... now I think about how I want to be smaller so instead I skull down glasses of water and it does fill me up and make the next morning easier!!!! It's just having that willpower for that min or so and saying no to maccas and any other food!


Good luck!

hey ozzybecca.I have finally recieved my refund from global.Hooray! Now I have purchased your potislim patches and recieved them 2 day.I really hope they work as I trusted your judgement on these.Wish me luck and stay tuned for next chapter.
