Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver exposes dangerous weight loss scam targeting fans
- Replies 7
Sue Cleaver, the iconic Coronation Street star who plays Eileen Grimshaw on the show, warned fans to stay vigilant after recently experiencing an upsetting moment involving her online profile.
The 58-year-old actress said she had 'never been so sad' as she took to her social media account to exclaim her disbelief.
Sue had been receiving messages from fans about 'keto gummies' and other scam products they had seen advertised using her photos online.
'I'm really, really sad that I have to actually make this video,' said Sue in her Instagram post.
'There is obviously some scam going around saying that I lost weight using keto gummies…I dunno. Well, it's cr**. It's a scam,' she added.
'It's outrageous. And I just want you to know that I would never, ever, ever advocate anything like that.'
Sue went on to explain that her recent weight loss was not the result of any sort of diet, supplement or other unregulated product.
'Yes, I lost some weight last year. I stopped drinking, and I went in the jungle. Yes, I have lost weight this year, but not from any diet,' she said.
Sue also experienced 'women's health issues', which have contributed to her weight loss. She is now working on gaining the weight back.
She said: 'Life's too short to worry about dieting and finding quick fixes. Just be happy with yourself.'
Any weight loss or fitness diet plan should be medically supervised and approved by your doctor, and we don’t recommend taking unregulated supplements or buying mysterious diet pills from the internet.
The Risks and Potential Harm of Unregulated Weight Loss Products
Many unregulated weight loss products are able to pedal their dangerous products to hopeful customers due to their glossy promises of total body transformation. However, the pitfalls and potential harm these products may bring cannot be overstated.
Firstly, these unregulated weight loss products have little-to-no scientific evidence to back them up and avoided the rigorous process that ensures they’re safe for consumption. Their claims are not monitored or evaluated by a regulatory agency, which means consumers could be potentially wasting money on a product that won’t deliver on its pledges.
Moreover, these products often contain hidden ingredients and substances which may pose a serious risk to your health. In some extreme cases, they could lead to severe medical complications or even death.
Remember, just because something is being sold doesn't mean it’s safe to use.
So why do people take the gamble? In part, it's the allure of the 'quick fix'. Unfortunately, there is no shortcut to health or weight loss.
Lastly, it's important to emphasise that abrupt and significant weight loss can put undue stress on your metabolism, potentially leading to long-term issues. Sustainable and healthy weight loss is generally measured in small increments over extended periods.
The message is clear. If something promises miraculous results but seems too good to be true, it probably is.
