Anyone have any luck with the 24hr advocare challenge? I am debating on doing it or not...

Multi level marketing - waste of money. What do you do after the 24hrs?0

It's a scam. Don't do it0

No.0

NO0

Nope... that is an awful lot of pills to put into my body when I have lost more weight by just measuring my food.
It is just a multi level marketing scam for people to make money off of people who are desperate.0 -
Why not use MFP as intended, it's free.0

24 hours or 24 days? I cant see what could be accomplished in 24 hours :huh:
Either way, Advocare is just another MLM scam. My advice save your money and simply count your calories to lose weight. You don't need expensive magical pills and potions to do this.0 -
It's 24 days. Calorie Deficit via protein powder/crash dieting. If you need structure, have the money, and feel you will stick to the challenge, I do not see the harm. But there is nothing magical about it.0

oops I meant day!! lol

Crash dieting can be very harmful, actually.0 -
I have a friend that is doing this- seems more like a pyramid scam. You have to take their supplements and use their products like spark energy drink and some muscle building pills. I avoided it- she asked me to jump on a call with her care advisors. No thanks0

Thanks everyone! I am just going to keep doing what I have been doing.0

A friend of mine wanted me to try this. I had already been doing MFP and had lost 17 pounds. When I did the challenge, I lost another 9 pounds. I continued using MFP during the challenge, and bottom line, it's all about creating a deficit. I do like the spark drink and the berry protein shake. But if I didn't get it at a discount from her I would just find a different shake. I have lost a total of 30.6 pounds! Overall my success is from using MFP.0

The 24-day challenge starts with a cleanse. That's all I need to know about Advocare. It probably doesn't help as much as you think it does, if at all.
Of course, according to some people on MFP, A placebo effect is as good as something that actually helps, and therefore, is worth the money. Whatever helps you sleep at night...0 -

Our son went to school with a kid whose parents were Advocare Distributors. They had some event for the kids and my son wanted to go so I went. The kids played football and the parents got the pitch.
Funny thing, the couple who were the distributors were the heaviest ones there.0 -

Let's play "Would you rather..."
Would you rather go on a "free vacation" where you had to sit through a timeshare pitch - OR - go to a party where the hosts are MLM distributors?

Can I just gouge my eyes out and set my hair on fire instead?0 -

If spartan race contestants get to do burpees to get around the obstacles, then I don't see why not.0 -

I'll take option C ... colonoscopy without sedation or pain management.0 -
I absolutely love Advocare. Just like anything else, each person will have their own opinions about it. I failed to lose weight on Weight Watchers, Atkins, Jenny Craig, Fast Metabolism Diet, 21 day fix and many more. In my first 24 day challenge, I lost 23" total and am down 22# in two months. I have certain products I live by and others I don't waste my time or money on because for me they just don't work right now. If you order through someone who is out to help people get healthy you will have fantastic results! Best of luck!

I highly doubt someone who pumps gullible people full of energy drinks and unregulated supplements (that have been found to be laxatives) for the purposes of personal profit is out to "help people get healthy."0 -

Do some research before you post a comment like this. There have been studies done on all products and those some have been reformulated to be even more effective.
You would also learn that there are no "energy drinks".
Thank you for posting your opinion but that's all that it is.

She has an opinion and she can say whatever she wants. This is an open forum. It's an MLM scam and nothing more!0
