Frank Sarcona, Diet Pill Fraudster Sentenced To 20 Years

there is no such thing as a fat burning, fat blasting or fat absorbing pill

Mr. Frank Sarcona’s lies have finally caught up with him after a judge sent him to prison for 20 years for fraud, money laundering and the misrepresentation of a food supplement. One of the diet pill products that he advertised as a "miracle drug" was Lipoban which he claimed would absorb fat and let people lose a lot of weight without having to change their diets in any way.

Mr. Sarcona is thought to have made millions of dollars from his scams which he ran over 30 years in different forms. He is estimated to have raked in $10 million from over 130,000 gullible individuals. Whole page advertisements in magazines and newspapers all over America screamed “BLAST UP TO 49 POUNDS OFF YOU IN ONLY 29 DAYS!" or "Amazing Fat-Fighting Super Pill Devours Fat!" Law enforcement authorities spent years trying to catch him and U.S. District Judge Kenneth Marra was told by the prosecuting lawyer that he had spent “a lifetime deceiving people".

People must understand that there is no such thing as a fat burning, fat blasting or fat absorbing pill and the chances are that there never will be. There are some sensible weight loss medications available such as Reductil which works as an appetite suppressant or Xenical that prevents fat from being absorbed into your digestive tract but they don't work on their own and they require healthy and sensible eating with them.

If it sounds too good to be true, it definitely is and if you buy and use these products you will only end up putting on more weight. At the end of the day the most important asset you have for losing weight is your own common sense and if you don't make use of this you'll end up wasting your time with futile weight loss efforts.

So stay away from the fad diets, the miracle fat busting pills and the empty promises and instead get proper medical advice from qualified nutritionists and doctors who may be able to prescribe you clinically tested prescription weight loss medications.
