It’s been about a week and I tend to use mine between lunch and dinner (that’s when I found I was reaching for snacks as often as my kids) you know, just something to hold me over until dinner. And since I started using them, I haven’t been reaching for extra snacks and my stomach is already looking better. You gotta check them out for yourselves. #flattummypops.”
Fans on Twitter and reddit were both upset about the product.

Your body NEEDS food to fuel it’s body or it will eat itself to make sure you don’t die. When it starts eating itself, your metabolism lowers, working against future weightloss.” User @kelseyfeldman agreed, “If you’re hungry then you should eat. This isn’t something to promote especially to the younger audience you have.” User @carrie.b.nongkhlaw even wrote, “Let’s take action guys as responsible adults!!!! REPORT THIS TO IG ASAP!!!!! The more people report the more IG WILL REMOVE!!! THESE types of INSENSITIVE ADVERTS are the reasons why kids have eating disorders!!!!” And @0711_v wrote, “as an influencer, you should be ashamed of yourself. these kinds of stuff leads to eating disorders.”
