How come in the before and after pictures on the weight loss ads, people go from pale to tan?

It makes you think they are selling a self tanner instead of the weight loss program.

    because most people don’t consciously notice that they look tanner. it makes them look better and more attractive so you think it works better. ever seen the ones where the before picture is in black and white or is all dark and the after picture isn’t? it’s just trying to trick you.

    please answer mine:

    LMAO. It is an attempt to make the after ad more appealing to the eye. Pale normally equals sick in our mind. That new beautiful complexion along with the body double does wonders for marketing.

    air brushing – if you look closely they don’t even resemble each other.

    It’s our society’s perception that being tan is healthy. So they brush the photos and make th people look different. Sometimes I wonder if they are even the same.

    ITS A LIE!!!!! They are totally different people, if unotice the before is always wearing really frumpy clothes and has zits and stuff. Its like people think that if u are tan u r more healthy and if u r pale you are like tv obsessed and afraid of light.

    A tan body shows off a lean body in a better manner, as in more muscle definition is seen.

    Yes, in all honesty it is just to make them look more attractive.
    But I have lost 50 lbs. this summer and I am more tan than I have been in years.
    1. I have been outside walking and riding bike 2+ hours a day and have been exposed to the sun. 2. Because of my losing weight, I feel better about my self, and am getting out to more outdoor social activities instead of hunkering down in the dark house.

    Good question!

    Because many people believe that when tan, a person looks more slim. This is in some people’s minds a good way to sell their product.

    When you tan your skin gets tighter so you will look thinner, more cut and have less flabby skin.

    Because their product doesn’t actually work and this is a way of trying to scam people. If there product did actually work there would be no need for such a tactic.

    There is only one truly great weight loss system out there and it does not use any tactics or false advertising, why, because it works.

    Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle by Tom Venuto is the biggest selling book over the internet of all time for a reason. If you are looking to lose weight I suggest you read his book, its amazing.
