I don't know if my mind turned off my cravings or the AdvoCare MNS packs cut off my cravings, but I stopped craving junk that I used to love - sweets, fast food, heavy Italian dishes and sugary drinks.
Spark became a life line - it picks me up when I need it, it tastes great and it has vitamins that make it healthy.
I've also learned to enjoy veggies - did you know you could roast radishes?! They're great. Actually pretty much any vegetable roasted is delicious. Pair that with a grilled chicken breast or a piece of grilled tuna and yum!
For snacks, I'm enjoying Sabra hummus with celery, cauliflower, broccoli and carrots. And you can even replace your mayo with hummus when you make chicken or tuna salad. It retains the same texture and you season as you normally would.
Little tweaks like this can really add up and make a difference in how you feel as well as shedding extra weight!

After the Cleanse...
So the Cleanse is over, I'm feeling great and have lost 7 pounds! I'm feeling more energy, the Spark has helped me kick my coffee habit. I feel energetic, and can feel the difference in my body by cleaning it out and feeding it healthy foods. So what's next?
The MAX phase.
This is the last 2 weeks of the 24-Day Challenge where your body is ready to receive nutrients and continue dropping pounds.
First, you get to enjoy a delicious Meal Replacement Shake (MRS) each morning. Yeah, right - I know what you're thinking. But I have tried a million other meal replacement shakes and I can honestly say that this is one of the best ones I have tried. I got the Chocolate, but Vanilla and Berry are also available if that's more to your liking.
These perfectly balanced shakes fill you up amazingly well. They kept me satiated for hours. I wondered if they would (because if you've tried a bunch like I have, you know some of them don't!)
And then you have your MNS packets that keep your body fueled, keep your cravings down and your energy going. I was shocked at just how well they worked. I like sweets. They hushed those cravings. I'm usually hungry all the time. Not on AdvoCare. It makes it easy to make good decisions when your body isn't out of control driving your decisions out of a craving or hunger.
This is doable, and not very difficult. Give it a try, you won't regret it. I don't. www.fitnesswithspark.com

Advocare Cleanse in process
Well, the cleanse is nothing like I thought it would be. No running to the bathroom. Aside from actually drinking the fiber drink in the morning and taking the herbal cleanse pills in the evening, it was a breeze.
I did cut out all dairy during this time and ate lean proteins, fruits, veggies and complex carbs. A few tweaks to my diet and I was set.
By Day 3 I had a Spring in my step. I felt clearer headed, I had more energy and I even think I stopped sweating so much. It was crazy good.
I was waking up ready to tackle the day. I was sleeping better at night. I was even more focused on the tasks I had to accomplish.
By day 10, I no longer felt a slave to my body and had said a cheerful goodbye to 7 pounds. I was in my way...

Advocare - Starting the Cleanse
OK, so it was time to get started. The cleanse phase was first. This is what you receive:
Inside this box are 3 different components.
1. The Fiber Drink
2. The Probiotic Restore
3. Herbal Cleanse Tablet
That Fiber Drink was scary at first! I didn't know what to expect, if I would be running to the bathroom all day! Well, I'm pleased to share that my experience was gentle and uneventful. However, I could tell within the first few days that I had more energy and my body felt better. Better than I had in years!
In addition to the Herbal Cleanse, I drank Spark a couple of times a day:
I Love Love Love the Fruit Punch flavor. It's like drinking a healthy Hawaiian Punch. So refreshing. So delicious. And so good for you.
These Spark drinks kept me energized and focused all day long. No jitters, no drop off. Just sustainable energy.
And they come in lots of different flavors, so you can find one perfect for you.
After the 3rd day, I was feeling much more energetic and clear headed (and no frantic trips to the bathroom!) In just three days, I was hooked. I wanted to keep feeling this good every day of my life....

AdvoCare 24-Day Challenge
I'm a skeptic. I readily admit it. So when my friend Katy started her AdvoCare 24-Day Challenge, I thought she was a sucker. I might have even laughed. And then I started seeing her results. She was losing weight and feeling better. And better and better each day. Then my cynicism turned to envy. I wanted her results.
So I started talking to her about it and decided to try the AdvoCare 24-Day Challenge for myself.
And this begins my AdvoCare story.
Want to learn more? Here's a link to all that's included. https://www.advocare.com/140649750/Mobile/Store/ItemDetail.aspx?itemCode=99050&id=A
I'll be sharing my story in the days ahead. But I'll give you a hint. AdvoCare works!
