Weight Loss Wrap

Details: It Works! Wrap, is a weight loss, wellness product that helps tighten, tone, and firm skin by combining several natural herbs in a botanically based formula.  This is just like those salon body wraps, but at a fraction of the cost, and it can be used at home, while working out, doing chores, or working on the computer.  This wrap helps reduce the appearance of cellulite.  Directions: apply one 13x21 inch wrap to an area of your choice that might benefit from some tightening or toning: ads, arms, back, buttocks, legs, or side.  Leave on for 45 minutes.  Repeat after 72 hours.  Contact a local distributor, and host a party so you can try It Works! free with the coupon.  There are 9 steps in using this product.

My Review:  I was so excited to try this product.  I have been struggling for the whole year to loose weight, burn off fat, and loose inches so I can fit into the clothes that I have.  It Works! Wrap is basically a large piece of plastic (like a thin disposable table cloth plastic) with a lotion on it made from herbs that you put on the part of your body that you want to "wrap" like your belly butt, thighs or whatever.  Then you let it sit on there for 45 minutes every 72 hours.  You'll loose inches, and your collagen will disappear too.  I was able to try the full package which is 4 applications.  Each time I used it I lost 1 inch around my waist.  I felt better, and as I have been eating more vegetables and fruits while doing this wrap I have lost 10 pounds.  So in 2 weeks I have lost 4 inches, and 10 pounds.  My skin where I put the applications looks really healthy and clear.  I didn't get sick, have any bad results or side affects at all.  I'm really impressed with these, and highly recommend It Works! Wraps to anyone!

My Review: To be honest when I first got these emails from the Independent Distributor, I really thought it was just a scam just trying to get my money. However when I actually got the product to review I was very surprised and excited to test it out.  I got a 3 day supply of the EPX body Nutri-Thin capsules.  The directions say to take 1-2 capsules 30 minutes before eating breakfast, with LOTS of water.  Contains Vitamins B3, B6, B5, B12, B9, and caffeine, Ginseng, Cayenne, Acai Berry, and Ginger.

This isn't the first weight loss pill that I've had to follow these directions with, but this is the first of the 3 that I've tried that actually didn't make my sick to my stomach through the pill or capsule flavor, when taking it with water before eating breakfast, or any meal.  During the week that I took this 3 day supply I saw that I lost 3 lbs, and was able to keep it off.  I did have a lot more energy when I worked out (I did 3-4 hard bike rides a day, for 10-15 minutes at a time).  But I also felt a little sluggish in my brain, and had a really hard time falling asleep at night.  I literally stayed up for hours, which at this time wasn't usual for me.  I'm thinking its because of the caffeine.

Overall, I feel like these capsules were a great way for my body to get all the Vitamin B's that I needed.  It helped me with my weight loss experience, and plan.  For me, I would love to find some time of weight loss supplement/ herbal "help" that I can take to help me loose and maintain that lost fat.  But also as I work out, that I can tone down, and build muscle.  This being said, I really want to find something for myself that doesn't have caffeine in it, because I can't handle a lot of caffeine due to a weakened heart.

Pros: it did work in helping me loose weight and keep it off.

Cons: it had caffeine, that I can't really handle

Celsius Energy Drink

Detailed: Celsius is a pre-exercise energy drink, but more importantly they focus on being a healthy energy drink.  They use a high level of vitamins that when combined help increase metabolism to increase on a higher lever your fat burn while still giving you the energy you need to burn that fat while exercising.  "Burn 100 more calories per serving." The vitamins and minerals found in Celsius are: Ginger, Calcium, Chromium, all B vitamins, Vitamin C, and Green Tea with EGCG.  This is a supplement, not something to be used without exercise.  3 types of Celsius energy drinks are redily available in different quantities.  Carbonated drinks come in 3 flavors: Sparkling Cola, Sparkling Orange, and Sparkling Wild Berry.  Non-carbonated drinks come in 2 flavors: Mango Peach Green Tea, and Raspberry Green Tea.  And the powered On the Go Sticks are only in the Orange flavor.

My Details:  We got this review product two weeks before I went on a 2 week vacation with my little family.  We were sent 4 packets of powder, and 5 energy drink in various flavors in a Celsius cooler bag.  During the first week, I was sick and didn't exercise at all, so I couldn't use the energy drinks.  The second week I finally exercised once, and drank, well tried to drink a Celsius Sparkling Wild Berry flavored energy drink.  It was really gross, and the more I tried to drink, the more sick to my stomach I felt.  By the time I got to the gym I had only been able to drink about 1/4 of the can.  I threw the rest away.  The flavor was a good flavor, but it was the carbonation that made me so sick.  I drink sodas but on rare occasions, so I know how much "bubbly" I can handle, and there was just way too much in this drink for me.  It was worse than Canadian Dry, or Ginger Ale.  But I also want to clarify that I don't like sparking water either.  So with that little amount of Celsius drink in me, I spent 1 1/2 hours working out on the exercise machines at the gym.  I actually had really good energy, I was able to keep going at a steady pace, my heart wasn't over worked or hurting.  

Now for our vacation time, and an excellent time to pass on the cans of energy drinks to my husband while he works, trains, and drives.  I decided to bring the drinks with me.  My husband tried the Peach Mango Green Tea.  He had the same complaint as me that it was gross.  While on vacation we tried to get my Father-In-Law to drink a Celsius Sparkling Cola but he wouldn't touch it, even though he loves Coke, Dr. Pepper and Pepsi.

On our first day/night of driving we drove 8 hours from 7pm-3am.  My husband drove the first 4 hours, and then needed to take a break, so I started driving around 11pm.  I was tired when we pulled over to switch drivers.  Our kids were asleep in their car seats.  So I took one of my bottles of water, and poured a powder packet from Celsius into it, and drank that for then next 2 hours.  I was wide awake, alert, calm, and able to drive from 11pm-3am really easily.  I loved the Orange flavor of the packets!  More importantly they worked when giving me energy when I really needed it.

Over all, I feel like despite me and my family not liking any of the drinks in the cans, but really enjoying the powered Celsuis, there are options for everone.  Non Carbonated drinks have Green Tea in them, Carbonated drinks are available in more flavors, and the powdered forms are without both the carbonation and Green Tea.  My personal favorite was the On the Go Sticks or the powdered form of Celsius.

Pros: love the On the Go Sticks, love the flavors of the energy drinks in the cans

Cons: don't like the energy drinks in the cans, neither the Sparkling nor the Green Tea options
