24-DAY CHALLENGE; DAY TWO, MDRM
Started this am by taking Spark’s Energy Drink Mix (affiliate link)in Mango/Strawberry flavor. Available in Watermelon, Cherry, Mango Strawberry, Pink Lemonade, Mandarin Orange, Grape, Citrus and Fruit Punch. Can be ordered in pouches (14 serving) or canisters. According to Advocare, “this drink sharpens mental focus, is a fast acting and long-lasting energy drink, which contains 21 vitamins, minerals and nutrients designed to synergistically provide a healthy, balanced source of energy with only 45 calories per serving.”
THE VERDICT
When I first became a distributor for Advocare, my goals were to just get the products I would be using a lot cheaper and not to sell anything. As a Distributor I get 20% off and 20% from commissions, but Advisors get 40% off their purchases plus can get up to 40% commissions from other persons purchases. Regardless, when I joined I received a sample kit for my own personal use or as maybe to pass them out to get people interested. One of the items was Sparks Energy Drink mix, which I have been taking for over a week now. “This stuff WORKS!” I have had no side effects like jitterness or a fast heartbeat. You can mix this with water or your favorite drink. I started mixing mine with the Fiber Drink in the morning to start my day. Remember there are eight different flavor to choose from. “Give them a try!”
THE HERBAL CLEANSE
Available in Citrus and Peaches & Cream, Advocare states “Herbal Cleanse supports improved digestion thorough internal cleansing. Helps rid the body of toxins and waste
providing 10 grams of fiber per day. Helps remove impurities from the body and supports healthy weight loss.” On my second day using the Fiber Drink (for days 1,2,3,8,9,&10)I have to say that it does work. With that many fiber going into you…you know what that means. To the Gentleman’s Room I go! I did feel lighter but not empty; kinda of a wellness type of empty if you know what I mean.
I have taken 1 dosage of Advocare’s Herbal Cleanse Tablets. Advocare states “the Herbal Cleanse tablet provides herbal extracts that help rid your body of the impurities that may be obstacles to achieving better health. One ingredient, senna leaf extract, is known for its use to relieve occasional constipation, as well as to encourage the movement of waste through the intestinal tract. Beet root powder and wheat grass juice are included to aid in the reduction of metabolic by-products in the blood and liver. Cranberry juice powder helps cleanse impurities from the kidneys and aid in excretion through the bladder. The Herbal Cleanse tablet also contains milk thistle extract, which has the active component silymarin. Silymarin has been traditionally used to aid in eliminating toxins from the liver and is also an excellent hepaprotectant and antioxidant. Echinacea, astragalus, garlic, zinc and vitamin C help support the immune system. Herbal Cleanse tablets also contain a wide range of B-vitamins to help maintain energy levels during the detoxification period. Take on days one through seven. This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.” The Herbal Cleanse tablets are for days 1-7 of the program.
CATALYST
One of the products not included in the 24-Day Challenge was the Catalyst, which “helps maintain muscle mass during exercise & weight management, aids in preserving muscle and energy levels during times of calorie restriction, plus helps repair & protect muscle tissue.” Since I am trying to grow some MUSCLE I felt this product would be a great addition to my program, especially since I am also trying to get fit enough to get a SIX-PACK. The Catalyst will help prevent muscle loss while I am losing body fat from dieting.
BYE-BYE
Gotta go now to work. See you next time where I will include some workouts that I am going to try and some more feedback on the products I have chosen to use to help me get AESTHETICALLY PLEASING.
