I’ve seen some pretty outrageous claims for supps before, but I think the claims for “Undoit,” an Australian product, take the cake:<\/a><\/p>\n

A WEIGHT-LOSS treatment that claims to allow users to gorge on fatty foods and then “undo it” by taking a specified number of its herbal pills is fighting a push to have it banned by the industry regulator.<\/p>\n

The “Undoit” pills’ website tells readers they can “snack . . . like you never ate it!”, and claims one pill will “undo” 5g of fat and 210g of carbohydrates.<\/p>\n

Despite health experts claiming the pills’ ingredients are useless, the company claims a tub of ice-cream “may need two pills” to block the calories, while it says taking five pills at one time is the “maximum undoit”.<\/p>\n

“That’s enough for a Big Mac and fries — can you eat more than that?” the website says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Undoit” doesn’t\u00a0contain any miracle ingredients – just stuff (like chitosan and white kidney bean extract) that’s been around for years.\u00a0And in\u00a0all that time, no one has ever demonstrated that such ingredients can completely – or even significantly (in the generic sense) – block the fat and carbs consumed\u00a0from a binge, as the manufacturers of “Undoit” claim.<\/p>\n
