Important information

  • Advertising Review:

    On September 24, 2024,, BBB of Western Pennsylvania requested that the business substantiate, modify, or discontinued its advertised claims on the business’s website to comply with the BBB Code of Advertising. Below are the outstanding challenges which can be found at https://www.dbcweightloss.com and each challenge below is referenced by its corresponding BBB Code of Advertising Principle. 

    Challenge #1 Refer to the BBB Code of Advertising Principle #34: Claimed Results

    Claims relating to performance, energy savings, safety, efficacy or results for a product or service should be based on recent and competent testing or other objective data.

    The following are some of the claims made on the company's website:

    An infrared sauna to detox the body so that the toxins are able to exit the body quickly

    Fat2Fit vibration plate that burns up to 600 calories per day in 20-30 minutes sessions

    In summary, Sugar and Starch Blocker by Dr. Bridget Chufo works in all the right ways. It melts the fat, increases energy levels, builds lean muscle mass (great for athletes), decreases cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and helps diabetics in so many ways. It's a supplement that works with decreasing insulin resistance and maintaining normal sugar levels and takes away the taste for sugar and starches.

    PM ultimately will reduce body fat, build muscle and increase energy and endurance.

    Gut-Buster trims away extra fat, builds lean body mass, accelerates the production of specific hormones and enzymes which boosts energy, promotes efficient protein synthesis and lowers triglycerides.

    They “shape” the body, actually “sculpt” the body, taking inches off.

    The Fat Fizzler is engineered to halt the growth of fat molecules within your body

    "It works primarily on stubborn belly fat and causes rapid belly melt that makes belly fat disappear. In other words, it works like a furnace in the body burning fat. It burns fat away and leaves the belly toned and even makes bones stronger.

    As of October 24, 2024 the business has not responded to the BBB's request to substantiate, modify or discontinue such claims.
