The Jordan Food and Drug Administration (JFDA) has warned Jordanian citizens against buying certain weight loss supplements online, explaining that they aren’t certified to be sold in the local market.

In a statement published on their official website, the JFDA said:

“These products claim to do things that they can’t do, and that could potentially harm the health of those who consume them. In recent months, we have recorded an increase in the number of such supplements being sold through social media in Jordan.”

The supplement brands that must be avoided are: Acte Fat, Natural Max slimming and Wheighreem.

If you’re trying to lose weight, there are healthy ways of doing it.

1. Eat a healthy, high-protein breakfast.
2. Snack on fruits and vegetables.
3. Exercise.
4. Eat soluble fiber.
5. Avoid processed foods.
6. Eat your food slowly.
