Advocare

[Northbigmuddy]

The wife and I both did it. Basically a zero carb diet. Sucks, but it works. I lost a little over 30 pounds.

Did you keep it off?

You would ask...

Yes I have. Not because I'm still using the stuff but because I'm not eating like a reggin anymore. I used to just grab stuff quick when I was working like pizza, gas station food, fast food, etc. The problem was what I was eating. Advocare claims that if you can follow their plan you will change your eating habits that's what the whole 24 days is about. I can attest that I still want fried foods, pizza, and junk daily. I just don't buy the stuff now...much. I ratchet down during the week and then kind of back off during the weekend. On a kind of maintenance level now. The alcohol doesn't help matters, but I'm not giving that up.

Personally I think the advocare is a just another marketing scheme. Go look up what a low or no carb diet is and then do it. I would assume the results will be the same just less the expensive herbal supplements. I'm no dietician but as the dukman once said "eat like a caveman"

I've been using Advocare products nonstop for 14 months now. I lost 45 lbs in the first six months and have stayed close to that for the last 8. My dad has lost 55-60. Like said above.......it's main plus is the fact that it's a formal way to change your habits. There are several items in it though that are real good for you to always use. Omega 3's, Probiotics, Amino Acids and Vitamins......are even pushed by most physicians. It was also mentioned that it's way overpriced. Actually, if you go buy the same supplements from the reputable companies....it's all going to cost about the same. You may save a dollar here and there by looking around...........but I don't have the time.

My dad and I also take an Anti-inflammatory product they sell........BioTune. It's a root extract from Serbia......... It's the bomb.

Wow man you're really wrong about it being the same price...that stuff is less efficient and twice as much as most main stream NON pyramid selling scheme products.
