Product Description
The grossly dramatic Life/Form(R) replica of five-pounds of human fat is a shocking but strongly motivating attention-getter. Made of pliable, long-lasting vinyl plastic, the replica has a profound memorable effect when passed amongst an audience. The replica dramatically visualizes the important and motivating fact that "every extra pound of fat requires an additional mile of blood vessels." Replica represents approximate volume of real fatty tissue; weights vary.

I've been searching for a good body fat replica for years. You think it would be easy, right? But it's not. Some are not nearly pliant enough. Some look too fake. I even found one that was actually greasy and just not good for my body fat demonstrations.
But that's not the case this time! This is the best five pound body fat replica on the market. If you show this baby to someone carrying an extra forty pounds, they are sure to take notice. Show it to your kids and they will suddenly want to go out side and play. It might be the premier body part replica on the market--even better than dirty lungs, clogged arteries, or decaying teeth!
Bonus points for the realistic blood vessels!

I first saw this in '98 at the gym and it immediately motivated me. Everytime I went to the gym I could not help but stare before and after working out. It became one of my biggest reasons to return. Years later the replica was forgotten after I moved. Recently walking by a medical clinic, I noticed a 5lb fat replica was on display with health pamphlets. I immediately went to my office and ordered it.
Believe it or not, I bring it to work which inspires healthy lunch choices and place it on my home bar to encourage myself to jog everyday. My co-workers laughed when I brought it to work, but now they love coming by and just picking it up so much I get a little protective! THAT IS MY FAT!!! Ha ha, one of them asked me where I got it and I didn't tell her for a while. She tried to act nonchalant, but eventually it got the better of her. I relented and know she is going to order one. Tee-hee.

The ultimate motivator for a dieter. This will make you lose your fat real fast. Highly recommended.

The biggest problem I had in my traveling discussion series "Fat, not with a P.H." was the transportation of the fat itself. It was very difficult to keep fresh, and would begin to dissipate over time, leaving me with Tupperware containers that looked more like orange sherbet that had been left out to melt.
My speeches are meant to uplift and enlighten, and I found more and more people either being put off by the smell (I can't even begin to describe it, but imagine if your colon was trying to win a "who can go the longest without showering" contest), or simply mesmerized by the sheer sight of the clumps of fat sitting on the podium, literally sliding away under the spotlights like a pat of butter on a hot griddle.
Using fat in demonstrations is unhealthy and rather offensive, I've come to find out. And when someone told me about these replicas, I was simply amazed. First off, they look like the real thing, if memory serves. All I have now is an orange stain on my passenger seat to go by (note to all, crack a window on those hot days if you're going shopping and leaving your demo fat in the car). Secondly, although they offer no value on those long "no time to turn off to get a bite" trips, the end result is a firm, and much easier to handle sample (which has helped tremendously during the "hot fat potato" portion of my seminar where the group gathers in a circle and tosses the fat from person to person).
One down point is the color. It is very appetizing, and a few of my more zoftig followers have asked if it was an actual food product. (luckily, I keep the "sherbet" close at hand for those moments.)

My wife works in the health/wellness/weight loss field, and this is just the ticket, to illustrate what 5 pounds of ugly fat looks like. If your goal is to show people what 5 pounds of fat, all in one ugly lump looks like, this is your product.
It isn't the easiest thing to clean, as it has an uneven 'rubbery' type surface, that seems to catch and hold dirt/grime, but warm soapy water seems to do the job.
It seems kind of pricey, for what it is, but if you are wanting an anatomically correct fat replica, I don't know where else you could get one.

Great motivation display for anyone wanting to loose weight. 5 pounds doesn't look like much on the scale but is quite impressive in replica.

This is an anatomically correct version of 5 pounds of fat. I keep it near the treats to remind myself of what a difference just 5 pounds can make. Very cool and well done model. My family would say it is pretty gross and would prefer it not be near the treats.

Amazing
I have had many men/women/children ask if this is what it really looks like and if it really weighs 5 lbs. A great teaching tool.

Not the best pound of fat I've ever bought but definitely not the worst! I had the perfect fat in mind ... but none of the fats available on the market today fulfilled my needs. Read more
