Ive noticed some of the comments on beauty salon bots status about the "miracle coffee" are complaining about bad headaches after drinking it. Some stupid person on there has replied " if the headache is really bad it means the coffee is working at its best". REALLY???

Shock

Does that mean that when I have a migraine something is working in my body to lose weight?

Basically what that cunt is saying is: a swollen brain mass is good.

Jamie at home folded about 3 years ago. My sil did really well with it but left for personal reasons about 6 mths prior to it finishing.

Annie65 · 27/12/2016 13:13

Kitten, yes, basically that is what she's saying. I think all that coffee does is kill brain cells.Hmm

Spongebobette · 27/12/2016 13:43

Coffee is dehydrating isn't it?

akittencalledjesus · 27/12/2016 14:44

Coffee does dehydrate. As soon as I notice the early symptoms of a migraine I need to stop drinking coffee/alcohol and avoid sugary things.

Starving your body of something it is used to is a bad idea. I advocate slow transitions to allow your body to adjust. The only exception to that would possibly be addiction treatment as in some cases cold turkey is the only option. But food?

No, diets are bollocks. Eat sensibly. And when there is cake on offer, have it. Just don't go overboard eating crap. It really is that simple.

After all, if the body has to gain energy by slowing down other parts of the body (e.g.: a headache, or allowing a virus to take hold) in order to cope with adjusting from having something to having nothing, it can't possibly be good for you. We faint if we get too low in blood sugar, we go in to shock when we lose to much blood. Both of these responses are designed to allow this amazing machine a.k.a. our body to keep us alive by diverting all energy to our vital organs.

Sensible people treat that machine with respect. That means sensible people do not:

  • take weight loss tea/coffee/tablets
  • have meal replacement shakes instead of a balanced meal
  • starve yourself for a long(er) period of time
  • stuff your body full of supplements or drinks (Aloe gelly anyone?) that have no scientifically proven benefits

But of course all of the above is rocket science to some...

(Bullet point failure. I should know better than to use asterisks on MN.)

Annie65 · 27/12/2016 14:55

Well said kitten, my point exactly. Bloody idiots all of them, salonbot has now put the magic coffee in her hot chocolate. Yummy I bet that tastes lovely.Confused

Someone posted this a while back and I copied it as it's such a good explanation as to why being in a MLM company won't earn you much unless you're at the top of the pyramid (if which case you need to consider the fraud you're perpetuating by promising returns that won't materialise to those you're recruiting)

"..,virtually all the people paying in to [insert MLM company name here] and those getting the rewards are inside the same closed network bound by the same contracts, restrictions and offered the same incentives to buy products for promised rewards. So how could everyone inside that contractually closed network take out more than they put in? The reward payments are drawn from their own money that is just being moved around from "members" to "members"! The "winners" are just getting the "losers" money. And, if extending or enlarging the recruiting chain is the only activity that leads to potential profit, then, sadly, the "last ones in" have to lose. Harm on an industrial scale is guaranteed..."

akittencalledjesus · 27/12/2016 19:24

I like that, Cheeky

So how could everyone inside that contractually closed network take out more than they put in?

Perhaps add a little to it:

So how could everyone inside that contractually closed network take out more than they put in? Where does that money come from?

Meanwhile, in Botland, Actilabs are recommending you strip the sebum from your scalp.

Hair nutrients???

akittencalledjesus · 27/12/2016 20:56

Well, yes.

Hair nutrients are like speshul vitmins and shit, hun.

Spongebobette · 27/12/2016 21:05

I need me some of them

cozietoesie · 27/12/2016 22:01

Well, akitten. It's actually quite straightforward. Your money comes from your own kitty (eg household wages still coming in, CCs, savings) or from the kittys of your family, neighbours, former friends, colleagues etc etc. I would guess that there's many an Aunty or Granny who has had to dip their hand into their purse to 'help out poor Alice/Suzie/Mary' by buying some product they didn't really want or need.

akittencalledjesus · 27/12/2016 22:13

Cozie, I do know this, have been on the threads for some time...

I'm only suggesting that addition as a question tends to make people think. It may be obvious to us lot, but not to bots. So to help them realise what's what, it may be worth adding an obvious question.

That is all Smile

Annie65 · 27/12/2016 22:13

Yes Im afraid I fell for the "feel sorry for me and support my new business" routine, many moons ago with my family member. Only brought 1 thing but she did try sell me stuff afterwards. Its very clever how it all works. Its not the newbies fault though, its the whole sleazy set-up.Sad

cozietoesie · 27/12/2016 23:58

It's real difficult - from the human angle. You have an eg family or social connection with someone and when they turn to you with that pleading face, what do you really say? Too many people will buy something out of misplaced loyalty little realising that they're just giving the person a false hope about 'How easy it is'. I don't blame the buyers because they don't realise what they're doing. I don't even blame the new adherents because they're still falling for that 'company line'.

(I know, akitten. Wink)

fitgirl26 · 28/12/2016 12:29

The top coffee Bots are really getting on my tits at the moment. Salon Bot and her "living in a castle with my princesses" sidekick are SO smug and pleased with themselves for basically conning their downline, most of whom meekly followed them from LTW and Traffic Monsoon which they were both heavily promoting as the BEST THING EVAH - EEEEEEK! And yes I also noticed the headache comments on Salon Bots "just thought I'd pop on as I'm literally just soooo excited" live videos. Interesting that she never actually replies to those but lets the badly informed sycophants do it.
And breathe......

akittencalledjesus · 28/12/2016 14:28

I currently have a mild but constant headache from coughing so much. Why on earth you would inflict pain on yourself by 'detoxing' is beyond me. It's not worth it.

Yes, there's the concept of pain to gain, but that normally refers to normal pain from exercising and doing things we don't like to do because as a society we are so spoilt for choice. That's normal pain to gain. Causing a multi day headache just to lose a few lbs is sheer stupidity.

Then again, no one ever said salon bot was clever. She's just a vile creature who likes showing off the results of how much money she has conned out of people.

fitgirl26 · 28/12/2016 15:58

The thing is - if there really was a tea/coffee/whatever that you could take and lose weight without any need for a change in diet or exercise then the NHS would be all over it - think of the money saved from people avoiding bariatric surgery! But I guess logic and common sense don't feature very highly in Botworld.

akittencalledjesus · 28/12/2016 16:05

Logic and common sense: the unicorn of Botworld...

Annie65 · 28/12/2016 17:12

Seems there is a bit of trouble with the 2017 proplanners. The ex FL bot now Ariix bot that I follow has brought a VIP one for a snippet of £40 and realised it has a 2017 sticker on top of 2016. Ooops, we all know who does the pro planners dont we?Grin

akittencalledjesus · 28/12/2016 18:01

Naughty.

Didn't sell as well last year then Xmas Grin

Twunk · 28/12/2016 18:22

Well I don't approve of throwing things away for no reason but then one ought to be upfront about these things... but then once a con-artist....

akittencalledjesus · 28/12/2016 18:26

...always a cunt?

Annie65 · 28/12/2016 18:31

Kitten,Grin. A lot of them are saying they should have knocked some money off, the best they have come up with is, full refund with return of the pro planners or money knocked off 2018's edition. (Sits back with box of pop-corn).Grin
