    winning two months free to a scam is like getting the first hit of drugs free. You lose water weight and think it works, so you keep paying out to try and get that same result again.

    Yes, always be suspicious of subscriptions you “win”. Normally if a company wants to give away something they’ll just do it, they don’t need you to subscribe and be on a list you have to actively take yourself off of.

    Honestly, I don't think I would just to make her happy.

    When I started losing weight (for the millionth time) I told my husband, 'This is what I'm doing, I'm doing it for me. You're welcome to do it to or not.' He's not tracked or logged but has followed what we eat and has lost almost 50 lb.

    However a previous attempt at 5:2 he did try for a bit, and I was grateful he very quickly was honest with me about it, that he didn't like it and wasn't wild on my temper when I was doing it.

    I hate the thought if him lying to me. Especially to 'make me happy' like I'm a child. This stuff does sound like rubbish, and If she wants to try it fair enough at best most are just substandard protein shakes.

    I understand wanting to support her. I do. But nothing is magic. Weigh loss takes hard work and commitment. And all it really requires is a calorie deficient. If Insanity isn't her thing (I get that, it's not mine either), encourage her to find a safe, natural way to lose the weight and get healthier.

    This company more than likey "gave her" something so she'd get hooked and come back. Tell her to throw it away too - if there's a chance that it's unsafe/unhealthy, I wouldn't risk it.
