ANYone use the ITWORKS body wraps?

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?

I use the wraps and the fat fighters, I have had success with them. My friend is a distributor so I got to try before I buy. I think they work pretty well.

Just like anything else that seems to good to be true it probably is... Its easy to make money off of these gimmicks that everyone and their mother will try. But if you want long term results take the road less traveled and change your life yourself... Nothing besides hard work is going to take away fat, and certainly not a body wrap.

Are these your personal opinions, or do you have some peer-reviewed studies that you can point us to?

Is the powder expensive?

The greens? If that is what you mean .. they come two different ways ..either in a container or in to go packs. The container is $28 for a months supply and the to go pack are $30 for a months supply. So .. like a $1.00 a day. If you are valued customer or preferred customer or whatever it is called. It doesn't cost anything to become one, you just have to sign up and commit to three months of purchasing the product. You can order any product they have for the three months .. if you decide you don't like the greens. I'm not sure what the price is if you aren't a loyal customer (I can't remember what it is called! lol )

On a side note .. it cleans out your um .. body .. lol. But after about a week you become normal, or regular, or whatever you want to call it.

My mom bought them and threw them away. They auto shipped her more after she cancelled too.

She did give me some of their Core nutrition 'vitamins' and I was out of my multi vitamin so I gave it a shot. All they did was make me break out and I actually got an infection on my face.

Waste of money!
