Health & Medical >> Opinions on the Advocare line of supplements

Not interested in the business side of things as I have zero interest in that part. So please don't bother addressing that.

A friend that is in the program was consulting me based upon my desire to cut about 15 lbs for an upcoming tournament. I am looking specifically at the following products:

Catalyst - To help me retain my muscle while cutting weight.
Thermoplus - To help me lose weight
Post-workout recovery - Well, to help me recover after working out.

I've taken Hydroxycut (which I'm told is comparable to Thermoplus) in the past. But, that's back when it contained Ephedrine.

I did searches on the web for consumer reviews but everything praising the products is people trying to sell the product as a distributor, and all the complaints are people selling a different line of products. So, I'm finding it difficult to find a valid review.

So, if you have experience with these products, or if you don't, but do have knowledge about the ingredients in these products and their effectiveness, please let me know.
