Evaluation
Health Fad Report
People who would like to get rid of unwanted fat such as Stephanie sometimes turn to health fads such as Phentermine, but is the health fad safe? And do they have side effects? Turns out they do as Stephanie tried the Phentermine diet, with good and bad results. The diet helped her lose up to 12 pounds In a week, but the side effects were that she experienced bad headaches, she would feel nauseous, her heart would race and she would get a bad temper. Now that’s a lot of side effects just to lose weight. Other victims such as Erin and Ashley use tanning machines to look more beautiful but they also don't know the consequences that wait for them. UV scanners show us that the 2 women have strong sun damage to their faces. They were both convinced to stop but Ashley knew she would keep tanning.

I learnt that while I was working on this assigned task, you shouldn’t try any health fads at all, all of them pretty much have some side effect that doesn’t even out the good things. Various companies can get people to use the fad by advertising the good effects but not showing or explaining the side effects. You could try certain diets such as lite n easy or go to the gym to lose weight.
