It's just causing you to sweat off the water weight in that area, so it'll come back when you rehydrate.

There is someone who posts that nonsense on my timeline too, and the ironic thing is that you probably couldn't get any kind of a wrap around her...

Why can't you just saran wrap yourself for the same effect, anyway? Is this like that foot soak that uses a chemical reaction to make you think "toxins" are being drawn out of your foot?

If she's wearing those t-shirts, at least it means she's not fat, right? I presume that she's a hardbody?

I had shirttail cousin who started doing a similar thing for some diet drink. For about a month she was posting highly contrived stories every day about "My friend Kayla lost 12 inches in three days drinking (insert chemical-laden drink here). She met a man on Tuesday and got engaged on Wednesday, and he loves her new figure!" There were seriously terrible. Since my extended family is all very close except for me, I didn't think it was a good idea to call her out on it, but she mercifully gave up in about a month. I was about a week from de-friending her.

I don't have high opinions of this particular cousin, as she's always been kind of a snooty bitch. She's not morbidly obese, but don't think she's a "hard body." My other friend that sells it is very attractive, but she works out 7 days a week and stays active.

I don't know if it really works or not. I don't care. Its the spamming I can't stand. When she first started selling it, my girlfriend never wanted to hang out because at some point in the night, we'd hear "you guys should host a wrap party...."

I fell for this a couple of times when I was very young. Cutco knives and a water purifier of some such. Rainbow too.

I was really dumb. Still have my Cutco starter kit though. Awesome knives.

There was a big article about the Vemma scam recently in RS. It's scamming a lot of naive college kids into thinking they can get rich selling those shitty energy drinks. Just another repackaged pyramid scheme.

yeah, I showed him a few articles saying the same but he just wouldn't believe me. Decided to let him learn for himself since he wouldn't trust me on the issue.
