We have all been victims of ads offering to sell us lotions, potions and pills that promise miracles with little and no results. We spend thousands of dollars trying to look and feel better, when most the  time the answer is right in our kitchen and medicine cabinets. That’s right!

I was all excited about a product my niece had told me about that promised to remove inches after one application and keep it off for up to four months. So I arranged for the saleswoman to come to my home and enlighten me. I ended up buying the sample.

            My nephew who sat snickering thru the presentation spoke up after she left. He told me he wrestled in high school and with his technique I could lose more and spend less with better results. So I decided to take him up on his challenge. First we measured my midsection, 43” almost as big around as tall. He went to the cupboard and pulled out some plastic wrap, circling me 4 times. Then he said to leave it on about an hour or all day if I choose and drink plenty of water all day. So I decided to leave it on until evening and went about my daily activities. Imagine my surprise when we removed the saran wrap. I lost 2 inches! He was ecstatic and smug. He informed me that if I also took niacin, which is a fat burner I would see more results, the key was to drink water all day. He also stated that his sister would use hemorrhoid cream to shrink tissue to keep her stomach flat when she used the saran wrap. Okay, he won the battle but not the war in my eyes.

            The following morning I applied the product I had bought. Wrapped the saran wrap around it to keep it in place. I was to see results within 45 minutes. I had to drink half my weight in water for the next 3 days to keep losing the inches that were promised to stay off for 4 months. After an hr I removed the applicator, measured and I lost a half an inch. Undaunted I still had 3 days to see more results. After the third day I discovered that I only lost the original half an inch to my dismay. The product was disappointing to say the least.

            In the end I lost the war with him but I gained so much more with the information he shared with me. I gave my testimony to my sister who is an exercise fanatic that gained 7 lbs on her visit home. Although she worked out every day she wasn’t seeing results. The weight itself wasn’t coming off in pounds. I say because muscle weighs more than fat. Her slacks and jeans still felt snug. I suggested she try the hemorrhoid cream and saran wrap method. She happily reported that she is back in her jeans. She uses it for pennies a day and can’t be happier with the results.

            That is my story and I hope it helps you too. Try it because you have everything to gain and inches to lose.
