Advocare 24 day Challenge

I guess I'm confused here - why do you need to take these supplements if what you're doing is eating healthy? I've lost weight by just cutting back on carbs and sugar and didn't take any supplements ... just seems like a waste of money to me?

Sad to find out Advocare is a multi-level marketing company (AKA Pyramid scheme). Would have definitely tried out their products had they not been one of the many slime ball companies who can't just sell products like normal, but instead prey on people with empty promises of wealth.

It pains me to see that people truly believe AdvoCare is a pyramid scheme! AdvoCare has changed so many lives and has been around for over 20 years!

ADVOCARE IS NOT A PYRAMID SCHEME!

Let me explain...

A pyramid scheme is a business in which the primary source of income to a company or person is made not through products sold, but by recruiting and signing new people.

AdvoCare and it's distributors make almost all of their money from product sales.

In fact, it only cost $79 to become a distributor with AdvoCare (and even then you get $50 worth of product!), and there are NO sales requirements after that. A person can literally spend just $79 to start their Advocare business.

AdvoCare IS a Multi-level marketing company. Other companies who use this model are Mary Kay, Tupperware, Pampered Chef, Thirty-One, etc.

We use a direct sales method, (aka, network marketing), which allows independent distributors to earn larger incomes rather having a large corporate model that makes all the money. In other words, money is going into the pockets of those actually selling the product instead of into buildings, employees, and other kinds of overhead.

I actually LOVE this because it gives me the opportunity to decide how much money I make, instead of a manager or boss. If I want to work full time hours and get paid $10,000 a month, then I CAN! But if I only want to work a couple hours a week and make $1,000 a month, I can do that, too!

Another thing to remember is that pyramid schemes are against the law! AdvoCare has been around for over 20 years! If it were a pyramid scheme, it wouldn't still be around and it certainly wouldn't be so successful. Plus, I'm sure Drew Brees, Mike Nugent, Colt McCoy and other professional athletes wouldn't be associated, much less OFFICIAL ENDORSERS of the products.

It boils down to this. With AdvoCare, you get out of it what you put in. I personally know distributors that are making over $80,000.00 a year with AdvoCare after their first year of business. It is not one of those, sit on your couch and watch TV while the money just rolls in, kind of businesses! We as distributors work very hard and take our jobs very seriously. I can guarantee you that I would not be involved with something that does take time away from my baby boy if I did not believe in the business. He is my reason for becoming a distributor...so he can have an EXTRAORDINARY life!

I'm an AdvoCare believer! I use it, and I have lost 20lbs using it along with healthy eating and working out 4-5 times a week. It has helped me become a healthier person! I love it, and it works for me.

Love AdvoCare, and its products!!

Hey y'all! I'm on day 8 of the 24 Day Challenge and I'm stuck. I ran the Tough Mudder on Saturday and I'm really proud of myself! I love this challenge. I'm eating so much healthier, and feeling incredible. The pounds, however, aren't coming off. I think I've been gaining a lot of muscle weight, and I still may be retaining water from TM. I just really need a partner to talk me through this challenge! I have 14 days left and I'm still really excited about the challenge. I definitely recommend it, regardless of the lack of pounds lost for me, I feel incredible. If anyone is looking for a motivation buddy (maybe someone in the same situation, college age and trying to be healthier!) let me know, it's best to not do this challenge alone!!

I've never posted before, but am in a pretty rough spot with my weight loss journey. I had weighed 333lbs, and lost 103lbs doing Weight Watchers, I think it was called the "Momentum plan", over the course of eight months. I was feeling better than I'd ever felt, and was finally starting to feel good about myself. Unfortunately I gained that all back and then some. I was up to 350lbs, and started MFP. I've been hovering around 310-290 for the last few months, a cause of my complete lack of dedication. I've just not been able to get over that mental hump like I did before. A coworker of mine did this, and lost 26lbs in the 24 days, so I figured I'd give it a shot. I'm going to start on Sunday, weighing in and taking measurements Saturday night. If you guys want an honest opinion, from someone who has never been a distributor, and has no financial stake in it I'd be happy to provide an honest log of my experience, which will hopefully be the successful jump start I need to get back into the game.

Advocare is awesome. Started at 248 and down to 227 right now. Feel and look great! If you are doing Advocare and aren't losing weight and inches, well, you are doing it correctly. Most people say they follow it strictly, but the truth is most people still cheat. Whether its, eating late, a pinch here/pinch there..they cheat. If you cheat, you WILL NOT LOSE what you think you should. Drinking water is the key as well. The cleanse stage is the biggest weight loss but the inches will fall off during the phase stage. Great choice for me but you have to be willing to stay focused and see the diet through. After the 6-7th day, it really is a lifestyle change. Good luck and Go Advocare.

I personally have struggled my whole adult life with obesity and have tried every diet plan, magic diet pills and going faithfully to the gym and nothing has ever worked for me like Advocare. This coming Friday will be my one year Anniversary on Advocare products and as of today I am down 99 pounds. I am just one pound away from the one year goal I set for myself. Advocare has changed my life. Going from a womans size 26 down to misses 14s has been an incredible one year journey. Advocare is amazing!

Hey!! So I will be starting my 10day cleanse tomorrow and have a question. How many calories am I supposed o eat daily? I do no want to eat too few calories and put myself in starvation mode. Also, besides for the three meal suggestions listed in the booklet it doesn't talk about healthy snacks. Any suggestions?

Hi!

So a couple of months back my crossfit gym offered a 24 day challenge.
I went to the info session and heard all about this great product that helps develop
Muscle and help with weight loss. I decided to go for it and build muscle. The website
Has great options for everything you need. I was excited to try this, along with the diet plan
Where you follow a coaches meal schedule, basically eating 4-5 small healthy meals a day.

I loved it. I lost three pounds (remember weight loss was not my goal)
And ended up losing 9% body fat. In three weeks. That's insane.

I think it's important to realize I did this program without sitting on my butt all day and eating crap.
I ate boring food five times a day and kicked my own *kitten* in the gym. That's how you
See results with a program like this. It's not a miracle solution, it's a stepping stone for you.
It was hard at times, I'm not going to lie. This is an extreme diet. If you don't eat right after or before
You take the supplements, you feel sick. Keep that in mind.

This shows results if you're willing to step up your game with it.

Advocare doesn't help you develop muscle. In fact, it's very difficult to gain new muscle if you are losing weight and it's even harder for a woman to do it. Outside of noob gains or gains if you are morbidly obese, the purpose of weight training is getting stronger and retain lean body mass. Advocare is just a protein shake that provides amino acids which help with that process. But you surely don' t need advocare for that.

Me and my wife decided to do the challenge together, and so far I couldn't be happier with the results. I've lost 8 lbs. and an inch off my waist in 4 days, I was 224.8 lbs. on Day 1 and woke up on Day 4 at 216.6 lbs. Surprisingly its not that hard to follow the diet plan. I'm an athletic guy but after a year of recovering from a shoulder surgery and a most recent back injury, I needed to lose a few pounds. I feel great and look forward to the next day from the positive results I've seen so far. The best part is I'm not even killing myself in the gym to lose the weight. It's only Day 4, so let's see how I feel by the end of Day 10.
