Hi Ruth,
Welcome, and congrats on your five pound loss.
Advocare, which is quite expensive, is not the reason you lost weight. You lost weight because you ate less calories than you burned. You can do this by eating real foods in moderation, which can be done without paying all that money.
In my opinion, Advocare is a gimmick because they want you to think it's their product that made you lose weight when it's actually the calorie deficit.0 -
I am on day 5 of the challenge, and by the grace of God, I have lost 2 lbs. I have tried other diets, and trust me, I am the Queen of diets, and eating right. I still have not had quite the results I am having with this product. I have spent thousands and thousands on gimmicks....and Fads and still 200.00 +- is Nothing, when you see the results I am seeing....BTW....I have had the ruex en y procedure. And Advocare is minimally evasive.0

Having done the Advocare 14 day cleanse, I'd have to agree with this poster. The large part of the plan isn't the vitamins and pills, it's that you are supposed to restrict your eating quite severely. I did not find it hard to do (meal shake for breakfast, big salad with grilled chicken for lunch, protein and vegetables for dinner) but THAT and my exercise was what made me lose weight.
I ate under my total daily energy expenditure. Simple as that.0 -
.... I should raise my rates...
One of the problems new business owners face is proper pricing. They almost always set rates too low.0 -
Hi Ruth!
I also have just started my journey on Advocare, and today is my THIRD day so far. As of this morning, I've lost 4lbs, which I have been unable to do on any other plan in that time frame. Ever.
Yes I am eating well again (which I have been unable to do regularly for the past two years) but I'm not left hungry at all. I was able to give up my daily 1-2 cups of morning coffee with very little side effects, and I'm drinking way more water than before as required (before, I absolutely hated drinking water!).
I decided that Advocare if anything, would help get me back on track because I was missing the drive to be healthy again. I was tired all of the time, had trouble sleeping, I was mentally exhausted, and was becoming depressed.
Coincidentally, I've slept better the last two days than I have in ages!! My husband is SHOCKED that I have been up before the alarm, when normally I would snooze until at least 730am every morning, making me late for work everyday.
For me, all of the above, the price has been worth it! I'm told that the healthy feelings will only get better! Stick to it, and don't let anyone dissuade you from what you feel is right! Only you know your body! Good luck!!
Congrats on the weight loss!!

Lisa,
Nobody is trying to dissuade the original poster, just pointing out the obvious: Advocare is not the reason. She or anyone else loses weight, it's the calorie deficit. Period.0 -
Congrats to you all. I have lost 24Ibs myself since I have been using advocare supplements.0
