Day 6

It has been a whirwind here lately, training people and getting them in the best shape of their lives, telling people about ADVOCARE and the amazing products, and trying to get some me and Megan time as well. It’s been nuts.

So after a great weekend and two solid days this week here I am on Day 6 of my 10 Day cleanse. I am not going to lie, day 4 and 5 I felt a lull in my energy, which is to be expected with your body working that hard to rid it of all the crap (literally) that you have in your system. Today however, I feel frickin’ great! My energy is back up, my pee is clear again…too much info? I drink a ton of water on a regular basis and usually I pee clear. The past few days however have not been and today its getting more clear. So what does this have to do with anything? It means the the Herbal Cleanse is taking bad things out of my body through my pee, hence the color.

I have also been RAVENOUS both   and all today. I was sitting at home with Megan last night watching The Biggest Loser. We had just finished dinner, I had salmon, rice, broccoli, and a side salad with Red Wine Vinaigrette. I was very full when I was done. I sat there on the couch watching the show and NO MORE THAN 5 MINUTES LATER I was ready to eat again. Now I will admit willingly that I eat often and that I eat a lot, I earn it right! I train hard and have a high metabolism, not to mention I’m 6’4 12″ and weight over 200 pounds…I have a big body to fuel! But I don’t ever remember having my hunger coming roaring back so fast.

This morning I got up, took my Spark and Catalyst, had a great training session, worked out for myself, took my Meal Replacement Shake, showered, took another Spark (it was a killer workout!), and got back to training. Within 15 minutes I had to grab the bag of almonds I keep in my desk. I have almost eaten all of them today. I ran to Wendy’s at 10:30 once I had a break in the action and ordered 2 Mandarin Chicken Salads, they taste great and are very healthy. It’s now 12:51, at 10:45 I started on the first and placed the other in the fridge. At 12:08 I was totally ready to eat AGAIN. So I went to the fridge and got the other salad. This is the first time all day I have felt satisfied and not ready for more.

What do I credit this? Two things, first my system is cleaning out and running at more efficient rate than before meaning I am burning more calories because I can better absorb the nutrients. Two, I have been working out hard and paired with the Catalyst, my body has been rebuilding and repairing muscle at a higher rate allowing me to burn more calories from my workouts.

I love having to eat like this. People think I’m nuts when it comes to this because people still are under the impression that when you are not hungry you are losing weight. Wrong. You want to be hungry often and then eat good foods. You want to be in a position to need energy (food) often so that you can BURN that energy through your system.

I am looking forward to Day 11. I have heard first hand that Day 11 is a day you really feel the difference in the product and in the way it makes you feel and your body work.

Here’s a quick breakdown on how I feel about the products.

Catalyst – I can tell and Megan has said she can see the difference, that I look slimmer and stronger. Catalyst promotes lean muscle mass and strong muscles

Fiber Drink – I don’t mind the drink at all, it is textured and I know some people have a problem with that, but if you shake, swallow, fill with water, shake and swallow, its all good.

Meal Replacement – I have had these before and never been very impressed with the taste, consistency, or nutritional value. ALL of these are great with this. Megan was worried about the taste and she says it taste likes a thick milk shake.

Herbal Cleanse and ProBiotic – I can’t feel a huge difference with these, but I also don’t know what I am to feel. They are easy to swallow (capsule form) and have no taste.

I am loving life right now and excited to keep this going and see where it takes me as well as the others currently on the program!
