I read your link as pertaining to 'Vickys Chav' which didn't sound too promising but I can see that her name is Victoria Schaverian!

Good luck with your detox.

Ugh. Isn't that company infamous?
And what a temporary solution. Why not just eat less during one week, it would save you money.

sassytheFIRST · 28/05/2013 11:57

This feels like an ad to me.

tungthai · 28/05/2013 12:07

Definitely an adGrin

DrGoogleWillSeeYouNow · 28/05/2013 12:14

Good luck.

If you stick to it I'm sure you'll lose weight, due to the severe dietary restrictions.

But as for 'detoxing'... these amazing things called lungs, kidneys, liver, gastrointestinal tract and immune system will carry on doing that for you.

You'd have been financially better and have the same results by buying a half decent juicer and a load of organic fruit and veg and living off juice for 9 days.

SundaySimmons · 28/05/2013 12:55

Personally, I think it's a waste of money. There are plenty of things you can do yourself to lose weight and be more healthy.

There are loads of recipes online for healthy smoothies that you can have for breakfast. Or better still, have a bowl of porridge that will fill you up until lunchtime. Drink eight glasses of water which will keep you hydrated throughout the day and eat healthy, low fat meals. Avoid sugary snakes.

I would imagine that you would lose weight during the detox plan but would then put it all back on in a couple of days!

coffeeinbed · 28/05/2013 13:30

That's a lot of money.
Aloe Vera drink is a tenner in the health food shops.

YoniOno · 28/05/2013 13:41

'Summer body here I come'

I know right, me too! It's summer, and get this, I have a body! So I have a summer body! It's great.

And I didn't need to spend £120 on snake oil either Smile

NotAQueef · 28/05/2013 13:45

I didn't know that Forever Living were infamous - what for?
I love their toothpaste

Mrsrobertduvall · 28/05/2013 13:47

Just do the 2 day diet.
Don't waste your money on this.

trice · 28/05/2013 13:49

Waste of money. No such thing as detox imo. Is this an ad?

Mrsrobertduvall · 28/05/2013 13:52

looks like an ad to me trice.

I will let you know if its a waste of time in 8 days ! Why is everyone so negative?

OP posts:
SundaySimmons · 28/05/2013 18:05

The negativity is because a quick 9 day fix weight loss isn't going to help you keep the weight off and you are most likely to regain what you lost, the following week.

Most diets fail because people have ingrained eating habits and to suddenly change to eating and drinking foodstuffs they don't usually eat and drink is difficult to achieve long term.

A detox is a fad and won't kick start anything and whilst you may lose weight it is only temporary.

Have a good look at what you eat, write it down and then try eating what you usually eat and drink but in smaller portions. Then gradually substitute unhealthy foods for healthier options.

Changing overnight is almost guaranteed to fail but by using porton control you will lose a bit of weight and feel more confident and then you can research healthier options for the things you enjoy eating.

Losing weight and becoming healthier shouldn't actually cost you more money, if anything it should help you save money!

Forever Living is a pyramid scheme business. Perhaps someone (named Victoria Schaverien) was in need of buyers and decided to post their personal FL shop on MN...
