I am always looking for ways to better myself. I think everyone should. I have a friend who has been on AdvoCare for a few months now, and she's been very happy with her results. I figured I'd give it a try also, in an effort to lose these last few mom pounds, and, more importantly, to kick off a healthy eating habit I would be able to maintain.
They have a program called the AdvoCare 24 Day Challenge. It involves an initial 10 day cleanse, followed by a 14 day "max phase" which I guess is the part that you continue doing if you choose to stay with the program. The program basically consists of taking various supplements/vitamins, eating/snacking every 2-3 hours, and eating whole/clean foods. The challenge kit comes with an guide which includes a schedule, food guidelines, and other tips. You can view it here.
At this point I just finished the 10-day cleanse portion, and started on the 14-day max phase. While on the program, in addition to the supplements and food guidelines, I also worked out about 4 days a week. My workouts consisted of a 1-hour CrossFit-type class, yoga, or weights. Prior to starting on the challenge I would run occasionally, and in general try to get 10k steps a day. Here is where I started:
My measurements, before I started and after the cleanse:
So far things are looking good. I wasn't expecting to lose weight already, so I'm happy that I have. I'm also pleasantly surprised at the fact that some of my pants now fit a lot better. I'm anxious to see my results after another 2 weeks on the max phase. Stay tuned. To leave on a happy note, this was the message I received from my scale app this morning:
