Tell me about it.  I've been invited to a party thing, though I can't go.  I know it's shakes and stuff, but that's about it.  But I'd like a little more info to decide if I tell her No thanks, but maybe later, or no thanks and never again.  

I'm gonna post and run though, cos I've got practice all day.

Don't do it. Giant bag of bunk. Firstly, the human body does not need to be "detoxed" in this manner. Your colon is not packed with 15lbs of half digested meat. Your liver detoxes for you; if it's not working, the side effect is death, not fatness. Second, it's basically a laxative followed by a reduced calorie diet. They say it's not a laxative, but the supplement is full of aloe which is a natural laxative. So first you shit your brains out and lose a bunch of water weight, then go to the shakes which are just calorie control. Anyone can do that on their own with willpower and planning. Third, if it was really such a miracle cure they wouldn't need to rely on "multi-level marketing" aka pyramid schemes to sell it.

QFT.

Anything that tries to sell you on detox or cleansing is something you should run away from.

Thanks ladies. I wasn't interested in the weight loss, but thought there might be some cool protein stuff for workouts and such. My liver works very well, and I've never been big into cleanse things.

If that snake oil salesman Dr. Oz backs it up and it isn't diet/exercise/consult your actual physician, STAY AWAY FROM IT.

The only people who have 15lbs of anything in their colons are our politicians. . . And that 15lbs is their damn heads!

You can get higher-quality protein for cheaper without getting involved with that garbage.

Thanks ladies.  I knew someone here would know the real story.
