There has been a lot of chatter on Facebook lately about Thrive, just wondering if anybody has tried it or is currently using it?

    Have not tried it.

    That said, I operate under the general assumption that any health/fitness/nutrition related posts on Facebook are bunk and can be safely ignored. This hasn't proven to be detrimental yet.

    True, but only the ones that gain any kind of traction. The "eat less, exercise more" posts never seem to go viral for some reason.

    There's no "magic" in that - and it requires some effort and self-discipline! Yuckyyy!

    I've been on it for a week now and it's a life changer! Completely LOVE IT. Can't believe I hadn't heard of it earlier. I never try 'diets' or 'gimmick' ideas so maybe I would think they are all this good. But honestly amazing, I would recommend it to everyone!

    It's a huge scam and three people in my fb feed are constantly posting about it. :/

    Looking at the ingredients it looks like an ECA stack. The herbs listed can often act like ephedrine in the body, which means they are potentially dangerous. In 2004, ephedra, a botanical source of ephedrine, was banned in the US due to serious safety concerns, injuries, and deaths linked to ephedra-containing supplements.

    I am wondering is this the same one created by Brendan Brazier?

    How has it completely changed your life in one week? And do you happen to sell it as well as use it?

    I tried the 3 day sample and it felt like my heart was going to pop out of my chest and go run a marathon by itself. Started to feel more normal on the third day but it didn't feel natural.

    Because the simple truth is not something you can scam people on and get rich. ;)

    We should start a diet multi level marketing scam. Tell people to take the magic pill ( placebo) and give them their calorie goal and a workout plan. ( we would give them back their money at the end and let them know the calorie deficit caused the weight loss not the pill)
    The only problem is, many would just still continue to eat at a surplus and expect the magic pill to make them lose weight. Its sad how gullible and niaave people are about weight loss .

    Ever since he broke into that radio station, I knew he couldn't be trusted.

    Ha, a "magic was in you all along" kind of moment.

    That makes me think of this: :smiley:
