Before fans run out and start using diet pills that work

Snooki lies to fans about taking trim-fast advanced drugs

Hard to believe Jersey Shore 'star' Snooki (Nicole Polizzi) would lie but apparently, she did exactly that. For months, the pint size (4'9") partier has been explaining her weight loss because of more gym time and better nutrition choices.

In an interview with People magazine, Snooki talked about her plan and how it was working. "I definitely want to get in shape and be healthy again," Claiming to have "egg whites in the morning and chicken and salads."

And as far as her excessive drinking? The 23 year old new theory is, "if you do drink, it's gotta be clear liquors." For Snooki this translates to switching from margaritas and Long Island Iced Teas to the clear liquid choice of vodka with seltzer water.

Sticking to her story of losing her weight from hard work and/or choices, she tweeted, "As everyone's planning their night at the club I'm wondering when Gold's [Gym] closes."

However, the story took a new twist it came out yesterday that Snooki not only lost the weight with the help of the diet pill, Zantrex, she is actually a paid spokesperson for the company!

Before fans run out and start using diet pills that work, it is wise to consult a physician as there are multiple side effects including anxiety, rise in blood pressure, sleeplessness, diarrhea, shaking, irritability, cold sweats and restlessness. Not to mention it is for "occasional use only" and can be addictive. Not intended for pregnant or nursing women.

It's a shame that so called celebrities can't set a better example for their fans. Snooki could just have easily lost weight safely and sensibly (as she claimed in the first place) but instead; she turns to questionable pills and lies.
