Let the Cleanse Begin

Many of you have shown interest in the Advocare 10 Day Herbal Cleanse Scott and I use every three months.  The cleanse is an amazing way to jump-start your weight loss plan.  Most people hear the word cleanse and picture themselves sitting in the bathroom for 10 days.  It's not like that!  I find that it cleanses my palate as much as it does my digestive tract, cleaning my desire for sweets and gets me eating my fruits and vegies again.

I am always willing to give information on the product but the follow up question is always, "What do I eat on the cleanse?"  We started our cleanse on Saturday, so I thought I'd post my food diary to help answer that question.  Get your cleanse and spark today and join me!

DAY 1
Before Breakfast - Drink Advocare fiber drink & spark (I like pouring a little bit of mandarin orange spark in my citrus flavored fiber drink)
Breakfast - 2 scrambled eggs
Snack - handful of cashews & a handful of grapes
Lunch - Salad purchased from Publix deli with roasted chicken also from Publix deli & vinegarette dressing
Snack - Natural peanut butter spread on a cored and halved apple
Sometime before dinner - Advocare Spark
Dinner - Leftover salad from lunch and a grilled hamburger patty (no bun, but a little blue cheese)
Before Bed - Take your herbal cleanse tablets

**The Herbal Cleanse includes the fiber drink and the tablets you take while cleansing (herbal cleanse tablets and probiotic tablets).  Spark is sold separately.  Advocare also has a 24 day Challenge which is basically the 10 day herbal cleanse with an additional 14 days.  The 24 day challenge bundle includes the herbal cleanse fiber drink, herbal cleanse tablets & probiotic capsules as well as spark, meal replacement shakes, omegaplex vitamins, & 14 days of vitamins to use after the initial 10 day cleanse.

We use the replacement shakes, spark, and vitamins year round, so we usually just use the 10 day herbal cleanse as a jump start to get our eating habits back in line.  The 24 Day Challenge Bundle is a good buy since it includes shakes, spark, and vitamins.  If you choose to purchase the 24 day challenge, it includes enough spark for 1 a day.  I like to drink 2 a day, so you might consider purchasing extra spark.
