It seems like it's no different than limu or that pink drink or noni juice, etc.

The people on Facebook pimping it only adds to the skepticism.

If you have to ask that question. Most of the time the answer is always yes.

Hard to find anything in the capitalist game that isn't a pyramid scheme.

Yes! It's all over the place. All these "self-made" fitness idiots. Most of the girls that I know sell it, are still quite fat.

People here? Most things I've read on this board tend to agree that it's clearly a pyramid scheme like the others (Amway, Limu, Noni Juice, PProtandim). The difference that I've read is that Advocare actually works, but there are plenty of other supplements that do the same thing for cheaper.

I don't know the ins and outs, but I have just one question:

Do you have to pay Advocare to get your initial "order" or "packet" to sell, or to become a dealer? In other words, is money required (in any amount) out of your pocket up front?

If yes, PEER RAH MID

The challenge works if you follow the diet plan they include.

Why does that work? Well because the diet is cutting most carbs and eating about 1000-1200 calories per day.

In the end it's still all about the diet and working out.

Just about everyone i know who is already living a fitness life style doesn't use their products. Seems like mostly people looking for that quick fix to get results. But my friends who sell it are already into fitness so don't have to even use the shite.

No.

But it is a multiple level marketing biz.

Huge difference.

They actually have good stuff... but yes its a pyramid. They could do just fine hitting the supermarket shelves.

There's a couple that I know that sell it. To my knowledge they've never asked anyone else to sell it.

Yeah except that the only difference is that MLM's sell a product. But yeah they're wildly different.
