There are a great many stupid diets available on the market and scammers love this as they can invent their own entirely ridiculous diets and people desperate enough to lose weight will pay up.

The title of the message is “Shocking Dessert Forces Fat Cells to eat Themselves”.

That’s a weird image and should tell any reader that the message is a scam.

It goes on “If you’ve ever been told to avoid sweets while on a diet – THAT PERSON WAS DEAD WRONG”.

So, it claims you can lose pounds off your weight while eating desserts and sweets.

It is ludicrous to think anyone could possibly not realise this is a pack of lies by a greedy scammer, but presumably some people do fall for it or the scammer wouldn’t use this approach.

Fat cells do not eat themselves – that is impossible. Fat cells do shrink or increase in size depending on your calorie intake and exercise level, but the same fat cells stay with you – they don’t disappear.

Don’t believe in any magic diet – it’s always going to be fake.
