Was thinking of doing the 24 day challenge for the cleanse and just because it sounds relatively fun. Some friends have had great success stories. Anyone of you guys have tried it?

    I have done it a few times. There are 2 phases. I always get though the first phase just fine, even feel great. The second phase always makes me feel very very ill. I am not sure why but it might be due to the bazillion pills you have to take. I have a few other friends that feel the same way.

    Starving yourself and paying lots of money for it sounds like fun? Enjoy!

    the first time I did it I lost 20lbs. But it was a lot to remember for the second phase. Since it is expensive I kinda do the same thing minus all the pills I kept the fiber and spark drink and eat what you should just as a way of life. it works out good.no starving!!!!

    It's unhealthy. Many people have had horror stories. Save your money. Cod some research and you won't have a hard time finding the nutrition community begging people not to do it.

    I've personally had great success with the 24 Day Challenge. I lost more inches than pounds and kept those inches off. Its a great kick-start to healthy living...not fad dieting. Contrary to some of the posts made thus far, you don't starve at all. You eat lean proteins, carbs, vegetables, etc.

    It is a fad diet, it's a waste of money, it's not healthy, and it's not necessary for anyone ever. Eat at a calorie deficit, and the weight will come off.

    If you're just dying to flush some money down the toilet, please send it my way. I'd put it to much better use.

    I actually know a fellow teacher (who is an outstanding, award-winning one) who is leaving an almost 20-year career to become an Advocare consultant (not sure what they call them). I cannot believe it. smh

    That is really unfortunate. She/he is going to regret that decision!

    I had great succes with it advocare. I lost 17 pound and some more after I finished cleanse. This was great jump start for me and it actually thought me how to eat healthy. You are not starving at all. I eat 3 meals plus 2 sometimes 3 snack. It helped my metabolism and portion control. i had energy to go to the gym and start running. I think it's ok to have different opinions and if it doesn't work for someone it doent mean it won't for everyone. It's defenetely working for me and I love it. Jenny if you would like to hear more about my journey message me I feel like I might get some negative comments here lol

    17 lbs eh? and how did that work for you long term, I see your ticker says you've lost 10lbs

    cleanses are bollox and have been heavily debunked

    this does sound like an ad, you don't sell the stuff do you? - caveat emptor!

    This. It is also potentially dangerous- many people- including my sister- have had scary experiences. Why won't people just dedicate themselves to counting calories??????? Aaaahhhhh. Advocare makes we want to scream it makes me so angry.

    No you don't starve, you just end up in the ER.

    You don't starve. I will not do it again because of 1. $$$ 2. All the pills!. I do like the spark though. I do not drink coffees or sodas or teas because I like having my 1 spark a day. I'm sure one day I'll give it up though.

    No, no, no. Your body "cleanses" itself all by itself. All you need to do to lose weight is create a calorie deficit. You do this by eating less calories, or burning more calories through exercise, or a combination of them both.

    For nutrition, make sure you get your fruits and veggies, and protein and some healthy fats.

    That's it. Don't spend your money on some junk quack potions. You can get everything you need with real food.

    You can believe it if u want or not I'm really not here to convince anyone. My ticker says 10 pounds bc it's connected with my fitbit which I got after I finished 24 day challenge.
