Its funny the Advocare 24 DC a lot of people at my church are doing it and a lot have had good results while others aren't so disciplined to stick with it. My pocket book will not support something like that with a family and a mortgage just not there at the moment. So I am looking to try it so I downloaded the 24 day challenge guide and going to use the guide with products I currently am taking and ones that I can purchase off the net for a fraction of the cost. So I will post results and entries as I go of the non 24 day advocare challenge.

Why don't you just eat some normal food and keep your calories at a deficit?0

Where did you find the downloadable file? My wallet cannot handle a hit like that right now but I have seen folks have great results with it.0

You should always measure people great results with where they are three or more years down the road, not right after they dropped a bunch of weight by starving themselves on "cleanses" and other products.0

I've done a few challenges and had success. You get what you put into it. Some people need structure and specific direction to help them along. And yes, the habits you create put you on the right path to a lifestyle change. I will admit, it's the clean eating that probably produces the most results though. The last one I did I lost 10 lbs and I've maintained that loss for two months. The people who go from eating a large pizza and soda everyday to doing a challenge and then back to a large pizza and soda everyday....yes, they're going to gain the weight back....duh! Good luck!0

Less medications, less food, no fast food, no pop, no hospital stays. I find I SAVE even after all my products about $500 a month. People see it as supplements with a price tag, it's so much more than that for many people.
My insulin doses were cut down to 1/4th of what they were, some meds are done, some were able to be switched to a cheaper form. You learn to eat correct sized portions so you eat less, meaning you buy less food. You don't crave "to-go" or drive-thru food.
If you use the right stuff, you will save.

I shudder to think how much worthless stuff you were buying before, that paying for more worthless stuff is SAVING you $500/month.0 -
Thought this was about avocados...0

They added 3 days?
OP, it is a method of portion control. There are tons of different methods of practicing portion control (food pyramid, myplate, etc.). They are essentially ways of restricting calorie intake without counting calories. You will need to find a way that works for you, but I agree that spending tons of money on a program just doesn't make sense. If you can find cheap containers and a free pdf? Give it a shot. If it doesn't work, try one of the other methods or even just calorie counting.0 -

It doesn't cost anything to cut out fast food or pop and budget your calories. You can even leave fast food in if you want as long as you maintain a deficit. You really don't need any supplements to lose weight and gain the benefits you listed.0 -
worked for me lost 10lbs so far!0

Starting on Monday. The thing is, the plan is REAL food, clean food, and portion control. I have lost over 70 pounds (was up to 80 before the holidays) following the Shred Diet, but I have reached a plateau. The diets are almost identical with what you eat - small meals and healthy snacks. I am going to do my homemade protein smoothies instead of the Advocare ones just because they are too sweet for me. The Advocare supplements really help me stay on track. I take Catalyst and Thermoplus, sometimes Crave Check in the afternoon if I am having cravings, and Omega Plex at bedtime. I have had way more energy since starting the supplements - this while cutting way back on my coffee and eliminating regular tea.0
