Andy and I are starting the AdvoCare 24 Day Challenge again today!  We like the challenge. This is our third time!! It gives us the tools we need to get the right amount of foods and nutrients each day, it helps us lose weight, and it also makes us spend way less money on groceries.

AdvoCare 24 Day Challenge Days 1-3 Explained #AdvoCare

The cost, up front is $190 plus tax and shipping retail, but if you become and AdvoCare Distributor, you get a 20% discount/commission right off the bat.  If you work hard and become an Advocare Advisor (sell $3000 retail in a 6 week period), you get a 40% discount/commission for LIFE!  That means that I only pay $125 plus shipping and tax for TWENTY FOUR DAYS worth of essential vitamins other supplements to help with weight loss, performance, and energy.

My friend Lee at MySentimentExactLee.com is ALSO taking the challenge!  She had a couple of questions in the weeeeee hours of the morning (that I actually saw because the Minion decided not to sleep).

Here is her two part question:

On the cleanse days do they only want you to do the meal replacement shakes for breakfast, because that is the only place I’m seeing the option? And I realize this is a dumb question but I’m going to ask anyway, if you do the meal replacement shakes you don’t also rest the protein carb and fruit correct?

First, of all, NOT a dumb question.  The Meal Replacement Shakes technically start on Day 11.  In the guide, you will see where it says “Optional”.  If you are in a place where you absolutely can not have breakfast, then it’s fine to have the shakes, just know that you do one or the other, not both the shakes and food.  If you can, though, put them up on a shelf until Day 11.

There are some products written down as “Optional” in the 24 Day Challenge Daily Guide that you DO NOT receive with your basic Challenge Kit.  These products are for a little added boost, and they are usually added when people choose to do the challenge again after they’ve completed their first.

Let’s talk about Days 1 – 3 which is the first three days of the 10 day portion of the Challenge called The Cleanse Phase.

I’ll start off by saying… I’ve done cleanses where I’m on the toilet constantly.  This cleanse is slow and gentle on your system, and while you will be on the toilet for the additional water intake, it’s not like juicing or a cabbage cleanse where you can’t really leave the house.  It’s a subtle but effective cleanse.

AdvoCare 24 Day Challenge Days 1-3 Explained

On top of the plan listed below, you’ll want to avoid things like milk, cheese, or any other dairy products.  If you must eat them, do so in moderation.  Also, avoid coffee, tea, refined sugars and processed foods.  Make sure you’re eating mostly whole, unprocessed foods.

Also remember that portion control and water consumption is KEY!

  • Protein – 4-6 ounces
  • Vegetables – 1 cup raw or cooked or 2 cups leafy greens

30 Minutes Before Breakfast

  • 1 Glass AdvoCare Spark Energy – This is one scoop/pouch in 8 oz of water.  Adding more water won’t hurt!

Breakfast

  • Fiber Drink – Mix it with 8 oz of water (or more) and DRINK IT FAST! If not, it will get really thick.
  • Water – Drink plenty of water throughout the challenge
  • Protein – Eggs, peanut butter, chicken breast, fish, tofu, turkey breast, etc.
  • Complex Carb – Beans, lentils, oatmeal, quinoa, potatoes (any variety) whole grains, etc.
  • Fruit – Apple, banana, berries, cantaloupe, citrus fruits, grapes, kiwi, mango, melon, pear, pineapple, etc.

If you’re unable to eat these foods for breakfast, remember that an AdvoCare Meal Replacement Shake is optional, however, you want to try to stay away from them, if you can, until after the cleanse phase.

Bedtime

The first three days are the same.  You do NOT have to eat boring foods!  Our first challenge, we made the mistake of being too redundant, and our second challenge, we shook things up a bit.  This time, we’re excited about the possibilities!  I have a pinboard for fun foods to eat during AdvoCare 24 Day Challenge Days 1-10!

Please let me know if you have any questions about the 24 Day Challenge!  We’re here to help you!
