I received an email today advertising a slimming patch called the size zero patch. Whoever sent the email must have found my blog and assumed I would be interested in buying slimming patches (which is true, but I have already bought some!).
I was still curious and decided to have a look at the size zero patch website and find out what ingredients it contained and find out if it works.
Warning signs
I didn’t have to look far before I saw signs of a scam rearing their ugly head. “Lose 24lbs in 12 days” the headline screams, alongside an obviously fake “before” picture of a woman called Ashley.
I want to lose weight fast just like the next person, but not that fast! And I very much doubt you would see a weight loss of 2 pounds a day, which even the most extreme fad diets wouldn’t dare to claim.
If it could help you lose that much weight then surely their tag line “From The Hospital To Your Doorstep” should be the opposite way round.
Ingredients
When I review any diet product the first thing I look for is clinically proven ingredients.
Unfortunately I can’t tell you whether the size zero patch has clinically proven ingredients or not. Thats because I have no idea what the ingredients are, they are not available anywhere on the size zero patch site.
Consumer reviews
I searched around for people who had used the size zero patch and found the following comments:
“Used the whole box as directed and did not lost one lb.. if it sounds to good to be true, it usually is.”
“I’ve been using the patch for 5 days now and not lost one single pound!”
“please don’t use the patches. i ended up in the emergency room dehydrated, bad urinary track infection and liver enzymes up”
The verdict
Please, no matter how desperate you are to lose weight (and believe me I have felt the same), don’t put your health at risk.
Based on what I have learned about the size zero patch, here are a few things to remember when choosing a slimming patch:
- If you don’t know what the ingredients are, don’t use it.
- If you read lots of testimonials like those above, don’t use it.
- If the diet patch promises unrealistic weight loss, don’t use it.
Be sure to choose only safe and effective weight loss products.
I personally recommend the Slim Weight Patch as a safe and effective diet patch.
Hi Karen,
Just wanted to say thanks, I found your site when I was looking to buy the size zero patch and it has definitely made me think twice about buying it.
It’s upsetting that companies think they can get away with ripping us off!
Good luck with your own weight loss goals.
thank u so much.i was about to buy this.more people should read these things.it just goes to show u that people ownley care about personl gain not thiking about peoples health.
I ordered the size zero patch and after 6 days did not lose one pound. I have since contacted the company for a refund (their guarantee of promise) and unfortunately am still waiting for the refund of my money. I now know that the whole promise is just a scam and wish to warn others about it.
How do we find the ingredients to this product? I have been sick and would like to know if there is something in this product causing me problems.
Hi Lorie,
Unfortunately I looked all over their website and the ingredients aren’t mentioned anywhere.
You could try emailing:
info@thesizezeropatch.com
and see if they are open about the patches ingredients.
I hope you feel better soon.

I really like your post. Always been very informational. I hope you’ll keep up the good work and maintain the standard. Best of luck.
I tried the Size Zero Patches for a couple weeks and didn’t loose any weight. I emailed them about how to get the refund and they gave me the mailing address to send the left over patches to. Three months after they received it, I got a check.
The only way so far that I have lost weight and kept it off was for a long time I was eating 6 mini-doughnuts and usually at least one candy bar a day, every day. I got tired of them so I stopped eating them and did not replace what I was eating with something else. Wasn’t a diet or anything, just didn’t like them any more. Lost 30 pounds.
Just need to find something else I don’t want to eat anymore and see if I can get another 30 pounds.
I have already lost 10 pounds and I seem to be doing good so far and I would recommend to continue doing everything that I have done since it seems to be working remember to try and stay away from the junk food and frozen foods remember its not the quantity its the quality of the food
My best tip for losing weight is Eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Fruits and vegetables are packed with beneficial fibers, vitamins and antioxidants. They fill up your stomach fast so you feel full earlier. They are also low in calories and help to keep your calorie count low.
I received this ridiculous advertisement in the mail. I did read the entire contents of the envelope, and the only reference to ingredients in the product is as follows:
“The size zero patch can be in your possesion within a few days. Immediately these powerful all natural patches with a secret recipe (we do not want unauthorized Asian copies hitting the shops-but will include a full list of the totally nautral and safe ingredients along with every order) which act on your body by time release bio psytology.”
Hmmmm…interesting. A “secret recipe ” guaranteed to take 24 pounds off of anyone in 12 days?? It has been medically researched and documented for years that 2 pounds of fat per week is all your body can naturally lose…all other lost weight after that on the average person is muscle and water. 24 pounds in 12 days no matter who you are will be a shock on the system and for the body. As much as I hate to say it, a good healhy diet, daily excercise, and a positive attitude together are the only things that truly work. The bottom line: Of course there is a miracle cure for obesity!! Everyone get a big glass of water and swallow the “time” released pill called discipline…and get ready to sweat.
Ugh…if we just weren’t all so impatient…the “NOW” generation if you will…scams like this wouldn’t be called scams they would be referred to as obsolete.
I found a website that said the product contained seaweed and caffine. Don’t know if this is true or not. Thanks for the information you provided. Definately will not order thanks to you.
Ho my god what next, recived a letter this morning about the size zero patch almost sent away for it untill i rang a girl friend and she said check it ouut first !!!!!!!!!!!! so glad i did …I know every body wants to loose weight now and then but guess what as men and women in there 30s and 40s WE NEED TO EMBACE THOSE FAT BITS WE”VE ERNT THEM XXX
I have used the Size Zero Slim Patch for 3 weeks with no weight change. FYI, the ingredients shown on the package are: Acrylates/VA Copolymer (Adhesive), Fucus Vesiculosus Extract (Fucus), Paulinia Cupana Fruit Extract (Guarana).
Thanks for the info..It really did look good for a minute..Too good to be true…I tore it up and threw it in the garbage where it belongs…Again, thanks…
Thanks to your post – I received the mail the other day and of course was curious if there would be any results – I certainly wasn’t expecting 2 lbs a day but desperate enough to consider what might come from it…of course now it’s in the trash! Thanks again.
hey man, nice blog…really like it and added it to bookmarks. keep up with good work
wow, nice discovery man!
did you tried any slim patches yet ?
can you personally show proof of testing the diet patches that you recommend , huh ?
Hi John, Of course I have pictures of my weight loss using Slim Weight Patch on this blog.
However, I think the real reason you are posting is because of the similarity between your website address and “The size zero patch”.
A note to readers of this blog, “The size zero patch” reffered to in this blog and “Sizezeropatch.com” are two different companies. Hope that should clear up any confusion.
I received a Size Zero Patch advert in the mail yesterday, and was rather alarmed by their ‘guarantees.’ Even if it did cause you to lose 24lbs. in 12 days, doing so would be extremely unhealthy, as would ‘weighing less than I did when I was twelve’ as the advert described. It’s shocking and dismaying that this sort of thing is out there, and I’m almost afraid of what will happen if this thing starts targeting gullible teenage girls.
The Slim Weight Patch sounds much more respectable, and I’ll be sure to look at it further.
Thanks for this information. I received this advertisment today and began researching on the internet. I thought it was to good to be true.
The only thing that I have found that works is the 6wks body makeover. You are eating the right foods. I lost 8 lbs in 4 days eating lean meats, veggies and low carbs.
I recieved the size zero advert today, decided 2 check it out. Because recently i tried Lipozene and hadn;t lost any weight with that.Was tired of throwing my money in the trash.I found this sight and wanted to thank everyone for their in-put.Not going to throw my money away today..
I called for ingredients 1st person said caffeine, 2nd said NO caffeine?????!!!!
okay so I’ve been using the patch and it does work.. of course not 2 pounds a day that’s ridiculous but i have been losing weight.
My friend told me about this i had to look into it. Thanks for the 2quick summary this is very informative.
