I would say that it’s the weight-loss products themselves. Of course, use and product go hand in hand. I tend to talk about weight-loss products, services, and methods all in one. If we only refer to weight-loss products, the simple fact that they exist will distract people from making healthy life choices. Saying that you’re going to lose weight quickly is much more desirable. As I said, these products can have minor effects on health, causing digestive problems, for example. But they can also have major and serious effects both on physical health and psychological or mental health.
