FatLossDudes.com is supported in part by affiliate partnerships. We believe in transparency: this page explains how those partnerships work, who we work with, and how commissions may affect — or not affect — the recommendations you see on this site.
Which affiliate programs we participate in
We participate in several affiliate programs, including Amazon Associates. That means when you click certain links on FatLossDudes.com and make a qualifying purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We also occasionally work with other reputable retailers and specialized fitness or nutrition affiliates.
How commissions are earned
- Click & purchase: If you click an affiliate link on our site and buy a product within the merchant’s qualifying window, we may receive a percentage of the sale.
- No extra cost to you: Commissions are paid by the retailer, not by you. The price you pay is the same whether you use our link or go directly to the store.
- Tracking: Affiliate links include tracking codes so partners can attribute the sale to FatLossDudes.com.
What this means for our recommendations
We are committed to honest, experience-driven content. Our team consists of writers and contributors with hands-on experience in fitness, nutrition, and weight loss coaching. We evaluate products based on performance, value, safety, and relevance to our audience. Earning a commission does not influence our editorial standards.
- Independent evaluation: Products we recommend are tested, researched, or vetted by contributors with relevant expertise.
- No paid placement without disclosure: If a post contains a sponsored product or paid placement, we will clearly disclose that fact within the article.
- Best-interest approach: Our priority is practical, evidence-based advice that helps readers reach sustainable fat-loss goals.
How to identify affiliate links
Affiliate links are usually embedded in text like product names, buttons, or images. When you hover over a link you may see a tracking code or a redirect that indicates an affiliate connection. If you prefer not to use an affiliate link, you can always copy the product name or go directly to the retailer’s site.
FTC compliance and transparency
We follow Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and advertising. That means we disclose when we have an affiliate relationship and strive to provide accurate, non-misleading information. Our goal is to keep readers informed so you can make confident decisions.
Final note
Affiliate partnerships help fund FatLossDudes.com so we can continue producing free guides, reviews, and research-backed content. If you have questions about a specific recommendation or would like more detail about how we evaluate products, refer to the article where the product is mentioned — we include review methodology and sources whenever applicable.
