So I've been saying alot of posts about detox teas and wraps on instagram (the Kardashians are promoting them quite a bit!). I was wondering if anyone has tried them and if they actually work? I think I know the answer, but I'm just curious!

The answer is no

That curiosity you feel is akin to believing in unicorns and fairies ....0 -
Kardashians will get richer so will the company selling the products. That's all that will happen0

They usually contain diuretics and laxatives. Water loss =/= fat loss. Save your money, but you know that

Kardashians should be only detoxing in jail cells when sobering up. As for wraps, they are great with bacon and steak.

NO they do not work. Although I do like this tea called Get Clean, doesn't make me lose weight or anything like that but I love the taste and it's a great thing to put over ice if I'm having a craving but any tea would be good I just like that one. I bought it with hopes it would make me have less cravings doesn't do a thing but taste good!0

This is correct0 -
OP - I have done wraps in the years ago on the day of a special occasion to look better in the dress. They process is miserable and the results are temporary- they last a few hours. Just as the name implies, you are wrapped up, and left for 30 minutes to an hour in this condition to sweat. It's not relaxing or remotely enjoyable. Save your money 0

When a celebrity endorses something, do you really believe it's because they care about you and actually believe it will help you? LOL0

The people who I see selling wraps, pills, and potions on instagram all have 1 thing in common...they are all overweight. This has just been my experience. I'm thinking with all the shakes and wraps and teas you're selling why are you big yourself??!! I want to ask one of them but that would be extremely rude so I just keep strolling.0
-
As far as celebrities go I have noticed that a lot of them are taking pictures with flat tummy tea or a shake in their hands. It's getting to be annoying at this point.0

My former best friend started selling one of these teatoxes that she found on Instagram a few months ago. After reading what it supposedly does, it's mind boggling to see how gullible people can be.0

The Kardashians, arrgghh!! They don't know *kitten* from shinola! Save your money and buy a nice pair of running shoes. Win/win0

From the woman that told her daughter to make a sex tape and release it on the Internet. .....the whole family needs to be dropped on an uninhabited island and left.0

I believe in unicorns, bacon, and fae. I refuse to believe the Kardashians are real.0

The Kardashians have teams of people (trainers, plastic surgeons, etc) to ensure they appear what they deem as attractive. Even with all that they still have to have their cellulite photoshopped out of pics. Kim is a fast food junkie, and with all the above resources struggles to keep her weight in check.
They are marketing geniuses and nothing more. DO NOT look to them for any health advice. Would you accept diet advice from the homeless guy on the street corner just because they're skinny?
Also, didn't Kim recently get into some trouble for pushing prenatal supplements that turned out to be dangerous?

The bold should be your first clue that they're a scam.
Celebrities get paid to promote worthless products, they don't do it out of the goodness of their heart because they want to help people. And the Kartrashians are the last people in the world I'd take advice about anything from.0 -
Those wraps are hilarious. Been around since the early days of TV too....they keep selling. Obviously they work!
It is a shame that the industry preys on peoples insecurities and lack of knowledge about true fat loss.
These sorts of things fuel the fire that is misinformation, and adds to the confusion and frustration people feel about their expanding waistlines.0 -
Its a shame they dont wrap the Kardashians totally in the wrap...i mean totally from head to toes, and leave them in the wrap

The answer is no

That curiosity you feel is akin to believing in unicorns and fairies ....
I'm more inclined to believe in unicorns and fairies than believing the Kardashians have some kind of ethical code on what they'd be willing to hock for the right amount of money. >.>
And no, they don't work at all.0 -
But does anyone have anecdotal evidence that teas help at all? I mean more-so than drinking water, or 'regular' green tea which for awhile was touted as having all kinds of dietary benefits.0
-
Anecdotal is everywhere! Or did you mean definitive double blind studies published and peer reviewed? Surely you meant that. Even these studies only show minor benefit. Browse Google Scholar.
Warm tea is comforting, and caffeine stimulating. That's it.0 -
What it feels like to preen like Kim for a week.

I have been drinking Fit Tea that is supposes to stimulate metabolism. Besides being good tea, l have lost a couple lbs. since starting it. Of course, I have been eating a lil bit healthier lately, also. Figure it doesn't hurt to keep drinking it.

These types of products are marketed towards desperate naïve people who want a quick fix. Nothing replaces are hard work. There's no quick fix or easy out. If you want something, you must work for it.
Think about this ,if these wraps and detoxes and teas really worked then why are we all on here counting calories? Wouldn't we all just take the magic woo and be thin ?? Bottom line, they don't work. Save your money and learn about health and weight loss. Anyone who would consider buying these things, still has a lot to learn.0 -

@LeeMay63 This is the second thread I have seen you post this in. The tea you are drinking has a diuretic in it. The weight you are losing is mostly extra water. Once you stop the tea, you will regain, and if you continue the tea long term, there certainly are health risks for what you are doing.
ETA: I looked at some of your other posts. Have you talked with your doctor to make sure that there is no interactions with the other medications you are on? Please be careful.0 -
Be that as it may LeeMay63, unless you were eating healthier prior to using it and noticed a marked increase in weight loss you can't really credit a tea alone.
Much like green tea, it may very well "stimulate your metabolism" but it would do it at a rate that is so inconsequential that unless you drinks tens of dozens of cups per day, you wouldn't be able to notice any difference.
I'm not trying to poopoo all over your strategy, if you like the tea then drink the tea; whatever you feel works for you. But honestly, the weight loss industry is a five billion dollar a year industry; if there were a product that could undeniably and provably ease/safely speed up the weight loss process, it wouldn't dwell in the world of late night infomercials and shifty websites preying on those who are overwhelmed or desperate to lose weight.
No company would be able to produce it fast enough to keep up with worldwide demand.

I have a former student who is a "distributor" for ItWorks!, and is *constantly* posting on FB about it. She's overweight, too, so this made me lol...0 -
