This is an absolute disaster. Not just pills, but there are no portions, creams, waist belts or any other sorceries to get your weight down. If you want to shed pounds, then the only way to do is to get yourself worked harder to lose them. This is the only way and there is no other way around it.
So if he ever came across magic pills or Magic creams then you can be sure that you are about to be fooled. So stay away from them.
