Advocare 24 Day Challenge?

Tried it to support a friend that sells it. It's so damn many pills! I was taking like 12 pills a day...after a week I quit because it was ridiculous to me!

I did it a few years ago, and quite successfully I might add. But I'm 99% certain it was because I ate really well and exercised consistently through the full 24 days, not because of the piles of horse pills they give you.

The basic components are: eat well, get fiber, take your vitamins, drink water. I don't think you need to pay for the challenge to do this, just research suggested meals and follow it for 24 days.

Eta: I lost 7 pounds in the 24 days, and I was quite thin at the time so 7 pounds was somewhat substantial. but again- I was dedicated to my health. I don't think the challenge items did anything for me.

I tried it. I haaaaated how many pills I had to take. The fiber drink was horrific. I had to stand over the sink because I gagged so much. I like Spark and still use it. It helps with not wanting coffee or cokes. I lost a little but not enough to make me want to continue.

I did it. I honestly think it is way overpriced for something you can do yourself with diet and exercise. I don't think the pills help a whole lot. I lost like seven pounds. But I think it was only because I was eating really healthy. No cheat days. And exercising everyday. The breakfast shakes were totally awful.

I used to be a distributor of Advocare and I would recommend a ten day cleanse. It teaches you the right eating habits, but it cleans out your system (not in an uncomfortable way though) and jump starts weight lose!

And if you do it, mix the fiber drink with Orange juice instead of water. SO much better!

Thanks, Ladies. Your feedback is fairly similar to what my co-workers have told me. At this point, not having to think too much about what to eat and when is exactly what I need. Having a set, limited list to choose from makes it kind of brain dead for me. Once things simmer down and I have the time to prepare better for lunches and dinners, it won't be hard at all to get back on track.

You can google everything advocare teaches you without paying for the product. Even the 10 day cleanse isn't worth it in my opinion.

Aspen I did it with OJ and it was still awful lol

I did advocate I lost 8lbs in 7 days and then on the 14th day I was hospitalized (nothing to do with advocate) but I was upset I couldn't finish it

I'm 50/50 when it comes to Advocare. I actually just finished a 10-day cleanse and lost 3 pounds. The first time I did the full 24-day challenge, I lost 16 pounds during the cleanse phase (that can't be healthy!), but gained 10 back during the refuel phase and I was religious about sticking to the program and eating correctly. The biggest thing with Advocare is that it is supposed to be a lifestyle change, so if you are not willing to eat a crap ton of veggies every day, no sweets, and rarely indulge, then it may work great for you. But doing a 24-day challenge then going back to fast food, you will see the weight come back.

I do however totally recommend their fiber drink. It is better than Benefiber

I have done 3 24-day challenges now. Each time I lose at least 10lbs. I did it once and fell off the wagon because I went out of town for 2 weeks and ate out 3x a day for 2 wks straight. But other than that, the weight has stayed off. I am down 30lbs and have more energy and motivation than I ever have! I love AdvoCare!

I'm on day 20 of the plan right now. I lost 6 lbs during the cleanse phase, but due to family trips, I back slid a bit. I am down about 6 pounds still (after gaining back my initial loss, thanks to the road trips and celebratory drinks last weekend).

I have had to set a timer on my phone reminding me to eat and take the supplements. THAT is a pain. Other than that, I find it is pretty easy. I'm still reserving judgement.
