AdvoCare 10 Day Herbal Cleanse Thoughts & Results
I finished the Advocare 10 day herbal cleanse! It was the first cleanse I’ve ever done and the experience was rather interesting. Today I’m sharing my experience, the results of the cleanse, and what I’ve learned.
I did pretty well overall but did have one slip up toward the end when I had beer when going out one night. Other than that I followed the prescribed eating plan exactly and finished feeling accomplished.
Advocare 10 Day Herbal Cleanse Thoughts
I thought the cleanse was an interesting experience with both some positives and negatives. Here I share what I thought so you can decide if the cleanse is right for you to try too.
Advocare 10 Day Herbal Cleanse Pros:
- That bloated, gross feeling? Gone, gone, gone. It’s so nice to not feel bloated for perhaps the first time ever. This is probably the best thing that happened for me with the cleanse.
Weight loss! I did lose 7+ pounds (forgot to weigh the final morning after for an exact number). I’m well under the 200 mark and plan to stay there.
- Clothes are fitting better and a dress I ordered right before the cleanse in the right size is actually too big and must be returned. Overall I’m really pleased with the results.
- Portion control! Helped me realize I can survive and feel great on much less food than I previously was eating. That is one claim that is entirely true.
- Eliminated sugar cravings. I don’t eat as much sugar as I used to because I know it doesn’t make me feel good (even if it tastes good) but I still sometimes crave it. By the second or third day and throughout the cleanse I simply didn’t want anything super sweet and sugary.
- More energy! I’m not as lethargic and tired as I was when I started the cleanse. I feel lighter and more energetic – always a great feeling.
Advocare 10 Day Herbal Cleanse Cons:
- The citrus fiber drink is disgusting. I never enjoyed it and am so glad I’m done drinking it. I’ve heard the other flavor is better but I just got unlucky.
- A lot of the food ended up being somewhat bland.
- Cost. I’m not sure the price of the Advocare products is worth it unless you have a higher disposable income. I’m glad I did it but the price did stop me for a long time and will keep me from doing anything else. I also think you can probably achieve similar results with just clean eating and
Advocare 10 Day Herbal Cleanse Takeaways:
- Increased fiber really works well for me in general. I’m going to keep eating lots of veggies and also take some type of fiber supplement.
- Giving up sugar for the 10 days was not hard at all. I wasn’t even craving it after the second day or so. It turns out I really only want sweet things when I’m already eating more sweet things.
- I’m buying extra fruit punch Spark and using it for my energy drink. It gives me such a great boost of energy, better than coffee or anything else and I also get a full glass of water in when I drink it. It’s also got some really great ingredients. Seriously, I love this stuff:
Overall I’m pretty pleased with the experience and glad I gave it a try. I also appreciate the jumpstart it gave me into feeling better and losing a bit of weight.

Cool, if anyone wants it I can send them your info. :) Good luck with selling it! It’s definitely a good system and has some high quality products.
Yay for being well under 200!!! So exciting! :) Also, I really want to try spark now. I’ve been hearing a lot of great things about it! So proud of you! Keep it up! :D
It’s honestly my favorite product from Advocare and the other thing I plan to buy and use again. If you get a chance to try it you definitely should!
I wouldn’t do a cleanse again because I think it would trigger a lot of ED/diet mentality feelings that I’m trying to eliminate, but I’m glad you found something positive from it.
Yeah it could definitely do that so it’s not for everyone. I actually worried that might happen to me and I might rebel and go off into binge land, but for some reason this went over really well in my mind and I didn’t do that. Overall it was a positive experience.
There are many fiber drinks to choose from – I’m using Metamusil because that what the doctor ordered (even though it has an artificial sweetener). Once I’m finished, I’m going to try PGX daily singles (recommended by Dr. Mark Hyman, author of 10-day detox and available on Amazon). A fiber supplement has become a required part of my daily routine.
This morning I started with Benefiber. I wanted something that completely dissolved after the drink from Advocare (soooo gritty!). I like the fiber supplement idea and never would have done it before but it was great on the cleanse so I’m excited to work it into my life ongoing.
Glad you had a good experience! It’s always weird trying out something brand new. I too continued on with a fiber supplement – I feel like it makes a huge difference!
It does! I really have liked it the few days I’ve taken it since the cleanse ended.
I’ll have to order the spark again soon and I’ll be all set on good things!
