I haven't seen anyone talking about ItWorks!, but I always see people posting crap about shakeology or some other such nonsense. Annoys the hell out of me.

Fat wraps are old news.

You are obviously not buying large amounts of essential oils.

IMO its in a whole different level.

biggest difference is Advocare is a supplement line with products EVERYONE should be familiar with. made by a team of doctors and scientists.

it is extremely well known on a national scale. its not so much a pyramid scheme. you get what you put in. its not for me. but a best friend is rich as hell from it. him and wife are stay at home parents and just do advocare.

I do love the products though

Yes. It tightens up skin for a few days. That's it.

I have a client who sells it who I think is like a local director or something, not sure of how it works, but she made 131K from it last year with basically no real expenses.

I was stunned.

There's always a few richers involved with pyramid schemes. That's what gives them traction. But it's like drug dealing in that a very few guys at the top get rich while the people busting their asses get peanuts.

You must be pushing that shite. Honestly, there supplements aren't worth a poop. There are so many better supplement companies out there. Also, it is absolutely a pyramid scheme.

Is anybody else's FB feed flooded with girls hustling these fat wrap products? How can anyone be stupid enough to believe these things are legit?


fat wraps, oils, supplements, all sorts of bullshite. You start doing that and you're not hot and single and don't have 'summer 2015 beach trip' pics, you get the axe. That's my motto.

My mom's friend comes over to her house and makes all these sweeping declarations about health, what causes cancer, and how essential oils or bpa free tupperware can basically make you live forever. This is a cycle that her friend repeats every 6-12 months with new products. I told my mom I'll start using the first magic product her friend recommends that she doesn't sell for a commission. So far no recommendations from the undercover surgeon general.
