ANYone use the ITWORKS body wraps?

I am taking the greens. A friend of mine is a distributor and her mother has had some amazing results with them. I don't know that I am sold on the wraps themselves .. but the greens I love.

staying tuned to see the results... bump

As I understand, if you want to KEEP that inch off, you have to adopt them as a regular lifestyle regimine. It's great for if you have to have an inch off for a particular occasion, but otherwise, no.

I have a friend that sells them and she says that..."it works." No kidding. They take water weight off.

I'm watching her for a year to see what the final results are. So far, it's not looking too positive.

I have. I didn't have the amazing inch loss that they advertise, but I do think they are great for tightening up loose skin. I guess I didn't realize that I had loose skin from a pregnancy/c-section, but it definitely tightened that skin in my lower abdomen.

They are a waste of money. They don't make you lose fat.

The wraps can cause a temporary loss of inches due to water loss in your body. Those inches return within a day. The pills don't help you lose any weight.

It's a waste of money and far too expensive for the crap results it gives. It is just another multi level marketing company. People promote the items because they are making money off of them... not because they work. Those "success" pictures are completely false and not an accurate view.

*face palm*

Didn't do a damn thing.

The wraps are a load of crap. Don't do a damn thing. I tried some of the pill....crap. The only think I found worth the money was The Greens. Not real sure what all the bit about alkaline is, but they make me feel better and help with the digestive system, if you know what I mean.

Whats the Greens?

They are 8-10 servings of fruits and vegetables. It is a powder that you mix with water or orange juice.. or whatever you want actually. They are loaded with all kinds of vitamins and minerals. They have pretty much taken away all of my cravings. That I can speak of by experience.

As far as the wraps go .. they don't take water weight at all. They do basically what a massage does for you .. it removes toxins from your body or cells or whatever. You have to drink tons of water to flush them out and that allows your body to process better. Its basically why after a deep massage you have to drink tons of water .. to flush out the toxins. You have to continue with the wraps to continue to lose inches. My friends mother has used 4 wraps and the body defining gel and you can truly see the results on her. They have lasted for 2 months so far. I dunno.

Your body doesn't store toxins and even if it did, a wrap you wear for 45 minutes won't take them away.

They make you lose water weight... no one has inches of toxins built up in their system.

Your body doesn't store toxins

Your body always works within the framework of trying to preserve health, so its first defense against toxins is to eliminate them through one of your main eliminative channels - these are your urinary tract, colon, lungs, skin, and mucosal linings in your nose and ears.

So your body may create symptoms like diarrhea, a persistent cough, a skin rash, nasal discharge/congestion, and even chronic recurrent ear discharge/infections, all with the intent of protecting your cells against toxins.

By recognizing these processes as being helpful and allowing them to take their course, and working to identify and eliminate their root cause(s), you can support your body's self-preserving mechanisms to keep you well over the long term.

Let's continue to assume that you're not aware of toxins that you're steadily being exposed to, and that toxins continue to roll in. Eventually, the pace of incoming toxins may overtake the pace at which you can eliminate them.

If you reach this point, your body will have no choice but to store some of these toxins.

Keeping in line with its desire to preserve its health, your body will first store "excess" toxins in your fat tissues. This is because your fat tissues are less vital to your immediate survival than other tissues like your ligaments, muscles, and nerves. This is not to say that fat tissue that's found throughout your body isn't important. It's to say that your body instinctively seeks to preserve more important tissues whenever possible.

Accumulation of toxins in your fat tissues is what can lead to so-called harmless conditions like cysts, lipomas, and other benign tumors. These are conditions that conventional medicine typically cite as having no known cause, but they most certainly have a number of causes, with a major one being steady exposure to endogenous and exogenous toxins.

The most a body wrap can do is insulate you from the free flowing air circulation that would normally cause your perspiration to evaporate thereby cooling your body. That simply makes you over heat (which is not good) and causes you to sweat resulting in a small amount of water loss which will be replenished as soon as you quench your thirst

I was already eating right/exercising regularly (including 90 oz water daily) when I did 3 months of wraps. They DID work until I stopped buying them. Every single inch came back.. No more gimmicks for me. Loosing weight and toning the RIGHT and cheap way for me!

I did not have any noticable difference (inches wise) & quite honestly not even sure why I ever even remotely thought they would work, just like every other "fad" diet/pills/wraps etc I guess.. One thing I did notice was that my skin felt amazing and was silky smooth/soft.... but honestly not worth the money, a good lotion prob does the same

Why stop at the abs? I generally wrap my entire body like a mummy right before bed and wake up with bulging muscles everywhere. But I rub myself with snake oil first before I wrap. Highly recommended.

What's this dieting and hard work stuff all about?
