Fake Baking Soda Weight Loss Trick EXPOSED

diet culture lies women over 40 need to stop believing

This is the clickbait ad, that just landed in my inbox, for a ‘weight loss’ product called ‘Jelly Lean’ — which is $79.00 a bottle — and which has NOTHING, ZERO, NADA to do with a $1.00 Baking Soda Recipe.

So right from the start the producers of this product are lying to you. Think why would they need to do that?

It’s likely that affiliates of this product (who get up to 70% commission for selling it) are using this clickbait to get desperate overweight people to click onto the highly emotional, persuasive, sales video funnel.

The sales video is in the form of an interview with a unbelievably young looking Oprah Winfrey and a so-called ‘Yale Obesity doctor/researcher.

If anyone thinks this is Oprah Winfrey — they need an appointment at Specsavers…

THE OPRAH PROBLEM:

Ah, this is BEAUTIFUL. They got a younger actor to play Oprah.

Did they think we wouldn’t notice? Oprah is 72 — and even despite taking the supposedly make-you-look-young again —( as well as lose weight) miracle product, there is no way that she could look that young…

The actress playing Oprah looks 45. And she’s got about 3 inches less forehead than the real Oprah.

Now surely to goodness anyone seeing this patently obvious FAKE ‘Oprah’ talking about her life-long struggle with her weight, during an acted ‘interview’ would immediately smell yet another ‘weight-loss’ scam.

But, if a woman is desperate to ‘lose weight’ and can smell the opportunity for an ‘easy’ and ‘fast’ way to do it — without having to change anything else in her life, maybe she can suspend her disbelief at this ridiculous play acting.

So let’s dig further into this scam. Another clue the promo interview gives that this must be scam — is that ‘Oprah’ shares her secret that she has struggled with her weight all her professional life, This despite trying, presumably, lots and lots of ‘weight-loss’ products during that time.

And, obviously (otherwise her weight struggle would have ended) NONE, not one of them worked for the long-term. An implicit admission that ‘weight loss’ products don’t work.

NO — so-called, ‘weight-loss’ product will ever work with the effectiveness that the producers of it will claim.

NO — so-called, ‘weight-loss’ product will ever work with the effectiveness that the producers of it will claim.

But this one has to be different — because ‘Oprah’ said it worked for her… thinks the desperate potential weight loser. And Oprah would never lie! Well, believe that or not… but the actor playing Oprah certainly would have no compunction about lying — if she’s being paid to.

One of the great marketing ploys used in the sales ‘interview’ is to pick another obvious scam ‘weight-loss’ product — the miracle ‘Gelatin Recipe’ (sold on the same website as ‘Jelly Lean’ … (what!?) and criticise the marketing of it (rather than the product itself) for the fact that it created excessive expectations.

They criticised the fact that the ‘Gelatin Recipe’ was sold by clickbait ads leading to an hour long persuasive video… (they basically called the ‘Gelatin Recipe’ a con!!!)

Ha ha ha — which is EXACTLY the method this product is being old by!

THE “YALE DOCTOR” FANTASY

Now let’s talk about the top ‘Yale Obesity doctor’ who created this ‘Jelly Lean’ product.

Whether or not she is a real Obesity doctor — or an actor — her description of the human biology of the gut problems encountered by women over 40, has some merit — if a little too reliant on blinding the normal potential weight loser, with science and meaningless animated graphics.

However, what begs the question is — If a ‘Yale Obesity doctor’ finds out that baking soda plus a couple of other ingredients is a weight loss miracle — why isn’t it on every nightly newscast? Instead of limited to Facebook ads and social media gossip, and money-grubbing affiliate ads in emails…

She wouldn’t need an obviously fake ‘Oprah’ to endorse her product. She’d be on the COVER of TIME magazine. She’d have a NOBEL PRIZE. She wouldn’t be selling $79.00 bottles of ‘jelly tots’ through a website called ‘Radiant Health Journey’ (that also sells other junk for-profits life products) with a stock photo logo. (Please do some critical — or just ordinary, thinking…about this).

THE BAKING SODA ANGLE

What I don’t understand — likely you don’t either (this SHOULD be a consideration for you) is why so much of the sales interview video is given over to promoting a Baking Soda morning drink — “I’ll give you the recipe in a moment…” that has nothing to do with the actual product they’re selling.

… because there are REAL dangers in drinking Baking Soda in water– especially DAILY!

It can cause… Severe stomach pain and cramping Vomiting (sometimes with blood) Diarrhoea Electrolyte imbalances (can cause heart problems) Metabolic alkalosis (dangerous blood pH shift) Stomach rupture (in extreme cases)

People have ended up in the ER drinking baking soda for ‘health’. It’s not cute. It’s not a health or weight loss hack. It’s potentially dangerous.

NO real obesity doctor in the world would be negligent enough to even suggest drinking baking soda daily has ANY weight loss benefit! So, especially since the whole object of the ‘interview’ is to sell ‘Jelly Lean’ gummies— why even mention drinking baking soda?

This is completely irresponsible advertising — which proves to you (it SHOULD do) that these people care not a toss about your wellbeing or your body shape.

Let’s talk a little more about baking soda — it costs 89pence and it’s great for.. Cleaning your oven… Deodorising your fridge… Making cookies fluffy…

NOT for melting belly fat… NOT for mimicking Ozempic… NOT for turning you into Oprah…!

“Drinking baking soda with water ‘alkalizes your body’ and ‘melts fat’!” (ha ha ha…)

Drinking baking soda can cause stomach rupture, metabolic alkalosis, and dangerous electrolyte imbalances.

There is ZERO peer-reviewed evidence that baking soda causes weight loss.

The only thing baking soda is ‘melting’ is your stomach lining if you drink enough of it. But hey, at least you’ll lose weight in the hospital!

THE “JELLY LEAN” PRODUCT…

So after all the talk about baking Soda… they actually want you to buy ‘Jelly Lean.’

This is a product that contains baking Soda — ginger — and … ah, another natural supplement (I’ve forgotten what it was and with all the best will in the world there is just no way I can watch the whole nauseating sales ‘interview’ video again to find out) plus something they call NAD (apparently a supplement to make you look younger).

The thing is - although in the interview the doctor stresses how exact the percentage of each ingredient is required to make the product efficient — it actually does not list all the ‘100%’ natural’ ingredients on the sales page… Why?

What I can’t understand, and you shouldn’t either — is how just four ‘100% natural’ ingredients — can be turned into what they call a ‘gummy’ — a candy-type jelly bean, without a manufacturing process involving some kind of synthetic chemicals.

Please let me know, if you know, how they do this…

Remember - it’s consuming synthetic chemicals that made you fat in the first place!

The total over-exaggeration of what a few natural herbs spices and baking soda can achieve for weight loss is remarkable to behold. Even IF everything stated during the ‘interview’ was true about ‘Jelly Lean’, I can tell you with 100% CERTAINTY that NO weight loss ‘gummy’, pill, potion, capsule, beverage… or whatever — will create the hyped-up results claimed by the producers of the product, or their sales affiliates.

Some — very few - metabolic boosting pills and potions, supplements, can have a beneficial effect of getting your gut back in sync (after years of abuse) — but they can ONLY be effective for a short period of time… because eventually your body will adapt to the additional input, and you will start having to up the dose — for the same effect… until eventually there will be NO effect! By then dangerous addiction becomes a serious threat.

I will keep saying this — over and over… there is NO ‘weight-loss’ product in the world that will create sustained weight loss by itself!

There is NO pharmaceutical (chemical) drug in the world that will cure any disease by itself!

To ‘lose weight’ (a meaningless statement) — to reshape your body and health you WILL have to make some effort yourself, for yourself. ‘Oprah’, nor any ‘Obesity doctor ‘— nor any ‘world-leading nutritionist’ can do this work for you… for whatever money they charge

‘Oprah’s’ fake Jelly Lean interview gets millions of views — I get 3 or 4 people reading my articles here — and 5 or 6 views of my videos on YT. So, of course, I know I’m fighting an unwinnable fight.

But, if I can help… even just one person, to ditch the ‘weight-loss’ industry, and instead of believing the hype and lies there… embark on a life changing, once-in-a-lifetime, wondrous journey of self-discovery — which will end up with that person getting their natural body shape back — and their health and vitality — and higher person energetic vibrations that go with it.

Really…? Can this claim be true… Well, go and see for yourself…

Really…? Can this claim be true… Well, go and see for yourself…

I obviously cannot guarantee everyone will get complete success with me— because a person will need some commitment… but for the price of less than a 1/3 of the cost of one bottle of ‘Jelly Lean’ gummies — I can 100% promise that my ‘Your Shape Back’ system will give you the best chance you’ve ever had of successfully getting your natural body shape back for good… by undergoing a major (small step-by-step) transformation in every major facet of life.
