"It Works!" ???

melsinct

My bestie is a rep for It Works and it actually does. It takes the toxins out from the area and helps firm up. You can lose up to 3inches. You have to wrap and drink lots of water to flush it out. Ive seen the results. I've done it and my husband and my bestie and her clients. Its not a weight loss but too firm up the loose areas.

Are these magic toxins the same ones that will be released if I do a 30 day detox? Or a juice fast?

It's not toxins, you silly people. It's evil spirits. They live in the spaces between your skin and fat cells and create water to keep the space there. When you squeeze them with plastic wrap, the evil spirits are forced out. That's why you need to drink more water afterwards, because the evil spirits aren't there to make the water for you anymore.

"It Works" is the name of the brand not the 'wrap' product itself. If you are speaking of the wrap, I do not sell it 'It Works' products but have a friend who does and I use some of them. Her mother lost crazy inches with the wrap, I saw personally the before and after results.

"It Works" also sells, protein shakes, vitamins and all sorts of stuff as well as skin care. I take a supplement that blocks 30% of the carbs that you eat (if you have a heavy meal) also great I've found for being bloated after drinking a bit too much beer on New Years Eve :drinker:

I also take a supplement from from this company that gives you a full-day vegetable in a "crystal lite" type packet.

Good stuff.

Im an esthetician and the reason why these wraps work is because they take all the water out of your body. Yes they do help flush toxins because after you are done you need to drink TONS of water or you will get sick. Basically you dont want to do them more then once a week or you will do more harm to your body. As for cellulite if you take used coffee grounds and smear them on your legs, wrap them up in plastic wrap for half hour a day it will reduce the appearance of cellulite due to the caffeine.

Do these toxins have a name?

And how do you know these alleged toxins are coming out? Is there a way to measure them? What does the EPA have to say about proper disposal of said toxins?

The body already has a marvelous toxin disposal system.....it's called your liver and kidneys.

The only thing that will get lighter from this kind of Hoo-Ha is the victim's wallet.

I can tell you a bit about it because I managed a home health office and some of my nurses were all into it. It is supposed to be all natural ingredient that cause your skin to detox--sweat, and actually decrease an inch or two. They are fine for a temporary fix, but nothing permanent. Nothing takes the place of diet and exercise when you are needing to see change. You need to be careful though, one of the girls was allergic to something in the product and she had a reaction that sent her to the hospital.

Since most of these wraps use some type of plastic wrap to make you sweat, and sweat is a way that the body rids itself of toxins, extra salt, extra vitamins, and minerals, I would say any toxin that normal sweating gets rid of.

Id say it works temporary..I was a rep actually and it worked at first but overall it dont work for me..I lost motivation for what really counted a bit and that didnt help.. i spent to much on those products wish I wouldve slowed down and realized what I was initially doing was enough its going to take time and not happen overnight..Id save the money and stick to the exercise and stuff..I still have some of there products and wraps and yes ill use them but not until im at my goal to maybe help tone a tiny bit but it doesnt do any justice to what just exercise and eating right does (which i still did when i was using the it works stuff) just lost more motivation..i guess everyone is different but thats my experience as well as someone else that i know, she went to Body by Vi im not to familiar with them though, im done spending money and just doing it the old fashioned healthy way that ive seen work.

In the name of research, we are interested in finding out if it fits our Hoo-Has.

Works in what sense? You weigh less after doing it? Of course, because you are dehydrated so you would weigh less. Other than that, it does nothing to cause fat loss. Except in the wallet.
