why humans continue to pay excessive prices for diet information that is readily available and FREE to them in the internet is beyond amazing.


The same thing can be said about personal trainers for working out. You can get all the info you need from YouTube or even a magazine rack if you can at least stay away from the obvious bullshite.

I guess some people just need to get support from a live human.

Even bodybuilders have trainers or lifting parters. It's that competition that pushes you harder. I'm in much better shape when I workout with someone.

Supposedly Pre Jym and Assault are two of the best pre workouts based on the ingredients and their ratios go should be in a preworkout drink.

The MRS are one of their better products actually. They're predigested (broken down so no crazy digestive issues) & have an equal ratio of carbs to protein which keep you feeling full & provide a balanced meal.

Pyramid Schemes by definition do not actually provide any real product or service. Also in any pyramid scheme you can never earn more income than the person above you, or the person on the top of said pyramind. That being said there are plenty of AdvoCare distributors that earn more than the person who signed them up, it is all based on real effort made.
Furthermore your point on FDA approval is weak, how many products have been FDA approved & then later disapproved for having harsh side effects?

It doesn't give you an amount to follow, no where in any AdvoCare guides will it say to do so. It gives you a guideline of which foods to consume around certain parts of the day to benefit you most. (I.E. eating most of your sugars & complex carbs early on so you burn them off by evening before bed).

Most people I know had no clue on where to start, the guide walks you through step by step. The 24 day challenge isnt some "fad diet", the site itself will tell you its a jumpstart to a healthier lifetsyle.

I am too usually...but recently I have found a little center of rage that I nurture to use on my morning workouts. I make everyone my competition.

It's not a pyramid by the strictest of definitions, but it is still based off of a pyramid type model. Do we really have to sit here and go back and forth on what it should be classified as? If you get a cut off of someone who us under you selling then money is flowing up which is a pyramid model.

So you're saying that because some things have been approved only to be revoked later we should 100% faith in something that has never been approved? If my point was weak, this is even weaker.

it was meh. expensive and small results.

what it did for me was change my eating habits. i basically went straight paleo. i've never given up dairy. ever. this diet forced me to. i still am eating super clean. so it did successfully change my eating habits.

It's called multi-level marketing (MLM). It's been around for a long time. It's not a pyramid scheme, but it's still a business model that attracts dumb people to buy things they don't need and to alienate themselves from their friends by trying to sell them stuff.

That makes just about any business a pyramid scheme. What business doesn't get a cut off those who distribute their product?

Advocare isn't the only company that uses Informed Choice to certified their product won't kill you years from now. Informed Choice And some of these companies offer a less expensive product than Advocare. I've tried Advocare products and they are absolutely great, they are just waaay overpriced in my opinion.

It's good you will like it, but then, you will want to get a 20% discount by signing up to be a vendor. Then you can sell it to friends and make 20%.
Then when you get really big you become a distributor and get it for a 35% discount and make 35% on sales and then 15% on everyone selling for you.

And so on.

I was saying it was a "scheme" but one friend of mine snapped back. "do you have a boss, and does your boss make more than you???, BAM pyramid scheme"
