Cringing so hard right now -Thrive

(Daisy) #1

Listening to all my coworkers talking about taking Thrive. My every internal alarm screams when I hear about it! I’ve tried talking to several of them about keto, but they want no part of it.

What’s thrive?

They are weight loss patches and shakes. It’s all the rage right now. I’ve heard people talk about “how good they feel on thrive” and how if they forget to use it one day they “have such little energy they can barely move” and feel like they’re dying. They use that as the excuse of why it’s so helpful, but to me it sounds like a classic drug withdrawal. It’s a multi level marketing scheme. There are lots of warning posts online about the dangers.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve tried almost every diet fad that came out from the time I was 16 until my early 30’s. I finally wised up a few years ago and went to a more logical approach to weight management. But this one just, like I said, just sets off every internal alarm in my body.

I think it’s also sold via MLM, right? my coworker was talking it up to me as well and i definitely got a “I’m selling this for a pyramid scheme” vibe from him

Any diet that involves taking drugs for the diet to work just seems so unnatural to me! I had friends in high school who were on the HCG diet I think it was? They had to take shots. It just seemed so weird and unnatural to me. I’ve never heard of Thrive but it sounds similar, not to mention I doubt the weight stays off if they ever stop using it.

Yes, that’s why they push it so much! If they get 2 people to sign up under them, then theirs is free.

Oh it definitely doesn’t. Several girls here were selling their unused products to the other girls because they had stopped using it. They all gained back whatever they had lost!

This. @Ketodaisy will be able to say “I told you so” when they are all lamenting their weight gains & she is where she wants to be. :sunglasses: (of course, we’re not mean enough to really rub it in; we just play the excellent role model! :smirk:)

Lol the one currently selling it was bragging about her 12 lb weight loss since August. I was sitting here thinking “yeah, I’ve lost 15 lbs since September AND cured my hypoglycemia, chronic stomach pain, inflammation in knees, and my hair looks fabulous” lol. I didn’t say it though!

Wow you look really young for 30s what’s your secret? Lol. Sounds like legal(for now) coke I know a lot of people that would want to try it

Pretty sure you’re not speaking for ALL of us there…

(You've tried everything else; why not try bacon?) #13

I checked out the Web site. It’s all about the marketing opportunities. Nothing about the product. And the founders’ pictures—if that’s what they look like from using the product, I hate to think what they used to look like before! :face_vomiting:

I expect those people to arrive to these forums within the next 6 months.

“Ive tried every diet/shake/pill you can think of…”

(Running from stupidity) #15

Again with the optimism…

Thrive sounds awful :frowning:

#17

I’m pretty sure most would “Thrive” on Keto. Which is free, thanks to sites like this and of course it’s users.

(Daisy) #18

Exactly! That’s what convinced me to try keto was the fact that it was free to get information! My friend was doing the shepherds code (basically keto) and when I found out they were pretty much the same thing, I did all my research online for free.
