AdvoCare

You've been asking for it....and I am delivering!  For those who don't know, "AdvoCare is a premier health and wellness company offering world-class energy, weight-loss, nutrition, and sports performance products along with a rewarding business opportunity."

I first became aware of AdvoCare when I started training with Aaron.  At that point I was taking no vitamins, no supplements and knowing I really wanted to get the best results and be as healthy as possible I asked him for his input.  He sent me to the AdvoCare website to explore and I came across the 24 Day Challenge https://www.advocare.com/110414215/Store/ViewBundle.aspx?bundleID=194450&type=B. Aaron had not done the Challenge and not knowing anyone who had, I decided to google and see what I could find!  I came across tons of video testimonials on youtube from every day, normal people who had done the Challenge and had amazing results!  I asked Aaron some basic questions and found out that he had studied the ins and outs of the AdvoCare products.  He has several degrees in nutrition and fitness and he gave them all his stamp of approval.  Being stuck at a plateau for weeks, that was all I needed to know! 

I will tell you that like most of you who have ordered the Challenge, when I opened that box I had several thoughts racing through my mind!  I was a bit overwhelmed!  So, I want to share with you the tips and tricks that made the Challenge not only doable, but incredibly simple! 

First off, the attachments that your Distributor sends you laying out the plan and how to proceed through the 24 days are crucial.  Before you get your package look this over, check out the grocery list and prepare!  Being prepared will be key to your success!  Also, I highly recommend a notebook or journal!  Now, I admit I am a bit anal, so maybe this is not something you will need, but I can do anything if I have a plan and having it all spelled out for me left no room for error!  It takes a bit more work, but if you are spending the money and you truly want the best results possible take the extra time to be prepared.

I took the plan sent to me and my journal and I went through and planned out my first 10 days.  I had a page per day.  I made my food choices, I wrote down the times I would take Spark, fiber drinks, meal replacement shakes and all supplements and also what I would eat and what time!  I will share my journal with anyone who wants a copy!  It may not work for everyone, but it may be a good launching pad for you as far as making meal choices, etc... Next, I went to the grocery, bought the items I would need based on my journal and I came home and prepared my food for the whole week ahead.  I put all the meat in individual serving size baggies, put my veggies in baggies as well.  This was AWESOME!  Each meal I went to the fridge, grabbed the baggies I needed and heated them up! 

So now I was ready to start!  Each morning I would open my journal and follow the instructions!  Easy as that.  I repeated this same procedure for days 11-24.  I wrote ahead in my journal what my daily plan was and each day I followed that plan to a T! 

I think it is important to note here that to get the best results you HAVE to be diligent!  You get out of it what you put in!  If you cheat...if you don't make the choices laid out for you, your results will reflect that!  It is a commitment!  You have to commit to learning to eat clean, get rid of the processed food and you will see amazing results!  And best of all, you will feel fantastic! 

Over the course of the 24 days, I had so much energy, I was not restricted by the cleanse, I could live my normal active life!  Those who know me know that I have long struggled with sleeping!  When I started the Challenge, I started sleeping!  And sleeping GREAT!  The most noticeable part was I was sleeping uninterrupted through the night and waking up without snoozing my alarm!  I didn't have the aches and stiffness in my back when I was doing Zumba and working out!  I believe the supplements contributed to that!

I want to point out a few last minute things that are imperative!  One: DRINK YOUR WATER! LOTS of it!  I drink over a gallon of water every day!  You need to do this!  Even after the challenge it is so important to drink your water!  Also, you will not have results just by taking the supplements if you are not making healthy choices.  If you only eat twice a day, or still drink pop, change these bad habits.  These things will hinder you!  Follow the program exactly.  Fuel your body, eat every 3 hours!  This is imperative even after the challenge!

In the 24 Days I totally BUSTED my plateau!  I lost 18 lbs and 8.5 inches!  But the way I felt and still feel far surpasses those results!  I have continued on several of the AdvoCare products and will stay on them always!  I love them that much!  I believe in these products.  I am distributing them and I am so excited to share the products with others and see how their lives are transformed! 

I hope this helps!  There are several of you just starting the Challenge and I am here to answer any questions I can!  If I don't have an answer, I will get it!  If you want more info, let me know!
