    Thoughts about Advocare?
    It's a MLM scam, the products are overpriced and poor quality, and the people who sell it are usually incredibly aggressive, pushy and spammy.

    You'll spend a lot of money on worthless products which won't do anything that a caloric deficit can't do. You'll be spammed to death by salespeople (I refuse to call them "coaches", just like Beachbody scammers) and pushed to become a distributor yourself so you're in their downline and making money for them.

    It's not worth it. There's no upside to it.

    I have someone on my FB that has been using it for a year and....well....there seems to be no difference in her before/after pics.

    Some of the MLM distributors go on weight loss forums and steal people's before/after photos, then post them to their slimy FB sales pages saying stuff like "Look at the results my friend got from using Advocare/Snakeoilogy/ItWorks/Body by Vi/etc., it really works!!!1!". Because they know people really get zero results from those products that they wouldn't have gotten through a calorie deficit anyway.

    Yup. It's even happened a few times where before/after pics were stolen from MFP users and attached to a product. They don't care about the accuracy or efficacy, just sales.
