    I've used the Advocare shakes before and found them to be quite delicious but expensive. I learned to make my own shakes with frozen fruit, protein powder, and almond milk. The reason I drink shakes is because in the morning eating hurts my stomach...literally...(I have multiple medical conditions that affect my entire digestive system). I found drinking gets me full, jump starts my metabolism, and I don't miss the best meal of the day :)

    My mom took all their supplements and didn't loose any weight at all now shes on MFP and eating right and she' lost almost as much as I have!

    I have 3 friends on Facebook that lost weight and sing the praises of advocare. I always think they could do the same just by eating right. Now that I see how expensive it is I think they are all crazy, but at least they've gotten good results.

    As I commented before, if it works for you go for it. Everyone is different.

    medical conditions aside, no, we are all the same.

    Clean eating is THE best and proven way to lose weight and get healthier, hands down.

    IMO, paying a premium for Advocare or any other similar stuff is kind of like adding octane booster to a naturally aspirated vehicle.. it's not really going to do much good without the right engine (in the case of our bodies, a good dietary plan) using it.

    I checked out this thread because I have a (now former) co-worker that is selling advocare. Says its the greatest stuff in the world and gives her energy and motivation to go to zumba and running all the time.
    Advocare kinda seems like a pyramid "scheme" based on what I've seen, so I'm not at all interested in joining her on this adventure. But I let her send me a free sample of "Spark", drink supplement. I took it this morning since I couldn't sleep well last night.
    I notice the caffeine and I would be able to go work out for awhile but it doesn't seem much different than an energy drink or a soda as far as that goes.
    This thread didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. I'm glad this site has helped me see that I don't need potions and pills and cleanses to lose weight. Just hard work and self control!
