    I've come to the conclusion that I'm making money the hard way.

    24-Day challenge... Price: $190.25

    You and me both.

    Do you have to buy real food on top of that, or is that for all the mystery cleanse products you're allowed to eat in 24 days?

    I don't know. I saw the price and closed the webpage.
    I bet you need food, because that thing comes in a box... You can't live out of that box content for 24 days...

    We've already had this discussion.

    People are always asking me what my secret is, then they look all disappointed and genuinely let down when I tell them "exercise and eating properly." It's like they're hoping for me to say something like "Advocare." One day I'll sell out my principles of tough love and working hard and be a huckster for this crap. And I'll be a diamond level whatever they call it and travel the world on the backs of the uninformed. One day...

    We'll call it the Military Soup Diet.

    I've never tried Advocare before and I'm curious: So many commenters here are saying that these shake things help them learn healthy eating habits. I'm just wondering how that happens. How does replacing a meal with a fake milkshake teach you healthier eating habits? Do you spend the 24 days researching how to make a healthy meal, and then at the end of the challenge, you start doing that? Or do you have to drink weird milkshakes for the rest of your life?

    I'm just unclear how this program "jumpstarts" a healthy lifestyle. Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper just to start eating a little less food every day?

    Can any of the Advocare enthusiasts explain it to me? What is the process of learning healthier habits? Thanks. :smile:

    I think when people spend the money on the challenge they become more serious about learning better habits. I myself needed that "jump start" and it did help me get more serious about my weight loss. It teaches you better habits, because there is a guideline and recipes that you can follow. As for the fake milkshake, its just one meal replacement drink for the last part of the challenge. I know companies like herbalife do have two shakes a day with one regular meal, which to me seems a little extreme. I dont think im an advocare extremist or anything but i definitely have had great success with it, but its not for everyone.

    If it worked in 'learning new eating habits' then why are people needing to do more than 1 programme or need to keep going back to it?

    I'm trying to think up a way of marketing 'eat less, move more and have a little of what you fancy' in a way that means I can charge, and people will pay, ridiculous amounts of money. Once I do, my well funded early retirement will within site :wink:
