Review
Summary |
Some products on the diet market are shining examples of cutting-edge science and research, providing the best solutions for obesity available. Others, though, are nothing but a bunch of hot air, based on making money on an otherwise ineffective product the same way carnival callers sucked people into side shows with big promises of incredible things. One Day Diet Wafers appears to be a carnival caller, making promises of successful and easy dieting with little to no effort, but providing little to actually make that promise become a reality.

 | Ingredients At A Glance |
|
One Day Diet Wafers claim to have truly effective fat-burning ingredients, but the list is essentially a multivitamin that includes more sugars than anything else. The formula includes plenty of vitamins and minerals, but almost none of the ingredients do anything to specifically help with weight loss. The two ingredients on the list that may be helpful as a diet aid in a minor fashion are Chromium Polynicotinate and Garcinia Cambogia.
Chromium Polynicotinate is a concentrated form of Chromium, a mineral that helps regulate blood sugar in the body. While the ingredient does provide some benefits through this action, it is considered more of a “helper” ingredient than a primary active ingredient. Garcinia Cambogia is a citrus fruit native to India. The rind of this fruit contains Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA), a chemical that inhibits the storage of extra carbohydrates as fats. Animal tests have shown some effectiveness, but subsequent human testing has not shown the same results. Essentially, Garcinia Cambogia’s effects are only theoretical.
The rest of the product is simply carbohydrates to fill up the consumer. Each serving (20 wafers) contains 35 grams of sugars and 37 grams of carbohydrates. There is also a very small amount of Whey Protein as well as a small amount of Calcium. There are only 180 calories per one-day serving, making the product a very low-calorie meal substitute, but we cannot see how this minimal amount of calories can be as filling and satisfying as the product claims to be.
The instructions for this product are to take 20 wafers every other day (2 every hour for 10 hours) with nothing but fruit to eat. It is also recommended that the consumer drinks 8 8-ounce glasses of water throughout the day, plus another glass for each 25 pounds the consumer is above the target weight. Essentially, the product bases its success on filling the consumer so full of water that they simply cannot eat—more of a starvation technique than a true diet. Although it claims not to starve the dieter but to instead satisfy their hunger with “delicious” wafers, One Day Diet Wafers seem much closer to starvation than a normal diet.

 | Cost |
|
A 7-serving bottle (140 wafers) of One Day Diet Wafers costs $49.95 plus shipping and handling ($5.95)—an absolutely outrageous price for a two-week supply. This would make a full month cost more than $100! We simply cannot see a justification for this product’s price, but the product seems to think that since you will not be purchasing food for that half of the month you will actually save money by getting this product. Yes, food prices are expensive, but we highly doubt that it will cut your bill by $100 a month. This is simply a smooth sales technique to get consumers to spend more than the product is worth. There is a return policy, but it is very limited and essentially states that the company washes its hands of all responsibilities if the consumer is unsatisfied after trying the product. Unopened products are returnable, but the consumer will have to pay shipping plus a 10% restocking fee. Unopened items are not accepted, and the site even goes as far as to say that taste should not be an issue in deciding on a diet product (even though they advertise the taste of this product heavily). We are severely disappointed with this company’s finance policies.

 | Website In Focus |
|
The official page for One Day Diet Wafers is simply a page within the CalComp Nutrition website (the manufacturer). The site is graphically out of date, difficult to navigate and provides only the bare minimum of information. The shopping seems secure, and they do provide return and shipping information prior to entering credit card numbers. However, the rest of the site seems to be geared towards getting the consumer to buy the product more than showing the consumer why this product is worth buying. An update and a rethinking of purpose would do the company and the product an incredible amount of good.

 | Final Thoughts |
|
The world can do without One Day Diet Wafers. This overpriced and ineffective product puts up more red flags than any product should. Without effective ingredients the product stands as a monument to profit over quality. To top it off, the diet plan is essentially starvation instead of nutrition and exercise. One Day Diet Wafers tries to justify the high price with a lowered grocery bill, but it is hard to believe that groceries for two weeks will cost as much as two bottles of these wafers. While the site advertises the great flavor as a key element in choosing the product, the return policy specifically states that flavor should not be a key factor in choosing a weight loss product and that they will not accept returns on that basis. One contradiction after another, One Day Diet Wafers are nothing more than the wafer-thin image they’ve made to convince customers to throw away their money on the product.
People looking to lose weight should consider finding a healthy eating plan that they like and can live with long term. You should also exercise each day by doing an activity that is fun and enjoyable. Water is extremely important too, and dieters need a lot of it to stay hydrated and to keep their bodies free of toxins. Finally, try the addition of a supplement specifically designed to help with weight loss. Be sure that the product you choose includes the two key elements all effective diet products need; a fat-burner to rid the body of excess weight on the arms, hips, belly, thighs and buttocks, and an appetite suppressant to help control caloric intake and keep cravings at bay. Many good intentions are ruined by cravings that take us over and sabotage our dieting efforts. If you combine all these elements, along with patience and diligence, you will see the pounds come off.
