    She's a good friend and I'm not going to ruin our friendship by calling her out but I really, really want to.

    What I hate is that they're preying on other people's insecurities and giving them false hope. That's what bothers me the most.

    1. She will eventually see it doesn't work and stop
    2. Those people probably wouldn't listen to sound reasonable advice anyway, until they reach the point where THEY see it doesn't work and stop.

    You see it all the time - no matter how you try to explain to people, they won't listen - until they're ready to listen. They have to exhaust every single avenue, it seems, until they end up at the most obvious place - CICO. Unfortunately so many are willing to throw their money away and live in near-misery because they think it will work - even if you tell them calorie counting is FREE and actually freeing/liberating...they won't hear it.

    I totally get it! I have a coworker who is eating 800 calories a day and it mostly consists of boiled eggs and rice cakes. Drives me crazy how people don’t understand CICO and think they have to follow some fad diet.

    After touting Shaklee products as pure and scientifically proven, I asked the friend of my cousin who posted this nonsense to please cite unbiased, scientific proof. That was yesterday AM. So far, crickets.

    This has been a very interesting read, thanks for bumping it with your comment Enjcg5. It might be an old post but still very relevant. Where I live the main scam is Herbalife, everyone seems to be selling it, no one seems to keep their body shape after their 30 day transformation though! They're always back on another transformation, then another a few month later. Definitely not sustainable or healthy.
    Oh don’t get me started on that one! I follow a girl on Instagram who was all about health and fitness, then became a rep for them, lost a ton of weight etc. turns out she has 2 of the shakes and 2 snacks/day. I would literally be chewing my fingers off if that’s what I had to eat every single day. How long is something like that even sustainable for? I keep following because it’s a complete train wreck and I’m hoping she starts maintaining soon.

    I got into a couple comments with a friend from school who discovered Thrive. Disappointed me to see someone I thought sensible spouting all the woo.
