Their biggest mistake is literally putting "Lose Weight" upfront but then they said they're not saying you're going to lose weight. I mean I kind of get what they're trying to say, but they presented it so poorly. Ok, it's not a guarantee that you'll lose weight, but it might help. Right? That's exactly what other supplements in this same category claim. That's what a lot of drinks claim. So at the end of the day, why invest in this start up when there are literally a bunch of these products already out there in the market that doesn't exactly "work.?" They're not offering anything new.

@@commanderkeen3787 i know what they were trying to say. But even the old man got lost when Mark asked him about the name of the product. That's why I said they didn't present it well. And I just looked them up and they're out of business which brings me to my other point: the market is saturated with these kinds of products already.

[@adingdingdiiing6740]

@Hutch Jordan there have been businesses that get trashed on this show, and companies that don't secure deals that went on and still managed to go forward. Their business failed because apparently the "science" they were referring to here wasn't exactly concrete. So their main claim as to why their product is different isn't true, which makes it just another product that supposedly aids in weight loss, which the market already has a lot of. Cubes can be a dick sometimes, I agree, but this product went out of business not because of what he said.

Who said they had to offer something new? This is a massive industry, if they can get their foot in the door I'm not surprised they're trying

[@adingdingdiiing6740]

@@Jomskylark there's a reason why one of the common question the sharks ask in the show is "is there something like this already in the market?"

[@iAmAlwaysCreepy]

@@ThePsychoBone Being in a calorie deficit is the only way to lose fat. It uses the body's fat as an energy reserve, thus burning fat.

[@2012jaysean]

@samuel brown if you’re inhibiting GI absorption of fat, you’re essentially doing that. It’s exactly what Orlistat does. There are several forms of lipids or fat. The two most common and most abundant in the body are triglycerides and cholesterol. Triglycerides, unlike glucose, aren’t directly used as fuel. It gets stored in the periphery. Under episodes of hypoglycemia, like during starvation or a ketogenic diet, they then become utilized as energy. In addition to this, gluconeogenesis is done on some fat and protein to try and return blood glucose levels back to normal. Cholesterol on the other hand can’t even be utilized as energy. It’s commonly used to synthesize your steroid hormones. Testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone are common examples of your steroid hormones. Also bile acids are derived from cholesterol. So best believe, any form of fat in excess of your dietary requirement is going to your periphery.

I'm surprised so few people see the nuance of 'helps lose weight'. A screwdriver HELPS you to build your ikea furniture. It doesn't do it for you. Their product is a tool. It helps you toward the result, but doesn't guarantee the result itself. Their T-shirts (and company name) are in line with their claim (fewer calory intake). The 'lose weight' text is debatable: Maybe a little misleading, but doesn't all advertising do that?

I agree with Mark in general, but the final argument about loosing weight is silly. What these guys meant was that if you ingest the same amount of food with and without the product, you'll lose more/gain less when with the product. After all even physical training only works for weight loss when you burn more than you consume.

[@zohaibhamdule]

Exactly! I winder what would Mark claim if he were pitching for the product.

[@sonalsaxena22]

But they said that it will help in losing calories. Losing calories means losing weight. And then they go and say we don't claim that it helps lose weight, when it clearly states in the banner even the name implies it. So obviously the sharks would go off. The way they branded this product and named the product is wrong.

[@sonalsaxena22]

And plus, they relied on few papers and jama internal medicine papers as proof. Even then the data was inconclusive. Proper research should have been conducted for this. Choleve has mixed results for actually blocking fat. You can't just use any substitutes for losing calories just because few study papers suggested it. Supplements like these should be suggested by the dietician. This was a scam product and glad it was called out.
