@Chipper,
A small amount should be fine unless really high in sodium.

Your 10 day cleanse checklist says to have the fiber drink with breakfast, your 10 day cleanse program instructions say to have the fiber drink and wait 30 minutes and have fruit and the 24 day challenge daily guide that came with the kit says to have a protein, complex carb and fruit for breakfast. Which is correct? It is frustrating because of the conflicting information.

I am on the first day of the cleanse and feel like i am going to pop too much food and water 🙁 what is the best meal or snack or part that I can leave out with best results
Healthy Girl

You can leave out a snack if you are not hungry.
jojo

in the 1st 10 days can i drink propel zero water, and what about eating natural peanut butter and nuts for protein
Healthy Girl
04. Mar, 2013
@ Joj,
Drink plain water and Spark.
You can use 1-2 T of natural peanut butter WITH NO SUGAR ADDED for a snack, as long as you are losing okay. 100 calorie bags of raw almonds are good for snacks.

I am about to start my challenge, and just preparing my grocery list. I am just i bit confused on Breakfast vs. Morning Snack in the cleanse phase. Should it be a protein, complex carb, and fruit as listed in the documents. I have also read on older documents, just fruit and protein. The morning snack should also be protein and fruit? Can you please clarify. Also how many complex carbs a day during cleanse? Thanks
Healthy Girl
04. Mar, 2013
There are several ways to do this. Our team follows:
Fruit for breakfast and hardboiled eggs as snacks or enjoy them both for breakfast.
1 complex carb a day for best results.
Raw almonds in 100 calorie bags are a good snack also.

Can I have ham on the 24 day challenge? I hate seafood and I’m sick of chicken 🙁
Healthy Girl
04. Mar, 2013
@ Jennifer,
Stick to chicken, fish, eggs, tofu, turkey, and other lean proteins that do not have as much processing and sodium

Hi! I am on day 2 of the cleanse.. I know brown rice cakes are ok, but how about the soy crisps? they look like rice cakes, they are organic with 7g protein and are made with soy flour… also is the toasted pine nut hummus ok?
Healthy Girl
26. Feb, 2013
@ Cassie,
Stick to the recommended foods for best results. Soy Crisps are high in carbs and have wheat in them. The pine nut hummus is higher in fat and calories than some of the others.
Healthy Girl
25. Feb, 2013
@ Julie,
Use Advocare products for best results. Whey protein is included in the shakes for Phase 2.
Kim
25. Feb, 2013
I am on the 8th day of the CLEANSE….. Can I eat steamed clams?
Healthy Girl
25. Feb, 2013
@ Kim,
TH]hat is fine if they are plain without butter or sauce.
Cindy
23. Feb, 2013
I see above states we should avoid the meal replacement during the 10 day cleanse. however, the directions state that is optional. we started the cleanse today and did the meal replacement…should we just do fruit for breakfast or will it be ok to do the meal replacement for breakfast for all 24 days.
Healthy Girl
25. Feb, 2013
@ Cindy,
Our group avoids dairy during the cleanse, so we don’t use the meal replacement shakes then.
Ahmed
19. Feb, 2013
So only a bowl or piece of fruit after spark and herbal drink for breakfast, no eggs or anything else? Also, can I have just salad for lunch or do I need lean protein as well?
Healthy Girl
25. Feb, 2013
Add in hard boiled eggs with the fruit or as your mid morning snack. You need lean protein for lunch.
Bee

Can we use hellmans canola mayo, mustard or balsamic vinegar during the cleanse phase?
Healthy Girl
25. Feb, 2013
@ Bee,
Use very limited amount of the canola mayo with plain (not honey) mustard. Avoid balsamic vinegar.
Julie

Is whey or soy protein okay to have after workouts during 24 days? I have the advocare post workout recovery and am also wondering about Naked protein juice.
Healthy Girl
17. Feb, 2013
@Julie,
You may eat soy (tofu). Avoid the rest. You can use Muscle Gain in Phase 2.

Is home popped popcorn ok. It is white seeds and not microwaveable. I pop my own.
Healthy Girl
13. Feb, 2013
@ cf,
Should be avoided especially on first 10 days. If you make with oil or add a lot of salt, could cause stalling.

Suggest to avoid for best results.

Can we drink crystal light powders in our water since I have a hard time drinking water by itself during the 24th day challenge?
Healthy Girl
05. Feb, 2013
@ Olga,
Enjoy Spark as the flavor in your water. You may also add lemon to plain water.
Katie

I am seeing different recommendations on breakfast on the cleanse. Coaches have told me that meal replacement shakes are preferred… has that changed now?… only fruit?
Healthy Girl
04. Feb, 2013
Our team eliminates dairy during the cleanse so we don’t use the shakes until Day 11.
Sara
02. Feb, 2013
I’m on phase 2. Can I have whole grain pita bread?
Healthy Girl
04. Feb, 2013
@ Sara,
Some find that they have best results limiting wheat the whole 24 days, and using complex carbs like brown rice, sweet potato, and hummus. If you do choose to use it, limit to 1 slice per day.
Meredith
01. Feb, 2013
Are Lara Bars permitted?
Healthy Girl
04. Feb, 2013
@ Meredith,
For best results no dried fruit. Use whole, fresh fruit. Lara Bars are not low calorie and have dried fruit, and sometimes sugar added (chocolate).

For those who seem lost on dietary guidelines, you have to do a little research. On fruits, since we’re trying to cut down as much sugar as possible, you want to eat low-glycemic fruits, these are, in order starting with the best, any kind of berry, cherries, apples, pears, grapefruit, peaches, apricots & figs. Try to avoid melons, mangoes, papayas, and pineapples as they are very high in sugar, bananas, oranges & nectarines as well. As far as anything else here’s a basic rule- if it comes in a box or a wrapper, don’t get it, its processed. stay in the produce section and chicken/turkey BREAST, and fish. Oh and eggs- boiled, not fried. Poached would probably be okay too.

I’m on day 2 of my cleanse, I have been having a berry meal replacement every morning as my breakfast with my fiber drink..should I not be drinking the shakes yet?
Healthy Girl
22. Jan, 2013
@ Mandy,
Read these directions. Meal replacement shakes start on Day 11. Breakfast is half hour after the fiber drink.
Linda

What are your thoughts on cheese? I know it’s a no no for the cleanse phase, but what about on days 11-24? If so, how much and what kinds?
Healthy Girl
21. Jan, 2013
@Linda,
For best results, eliminate dairy. Many people find they do better without.
Sara
20. Jan, 2013
What kind of fruit and fiber bars can I buy at a local grocery store? I’m wanting to start the challenge tomorrow and didn’t order the bars
Healthy Girl

No bars on the cleanse.

Healthy Girl
21. Jan, 2013
@ Judy,
Catalyst – Take 3 a half hour before breakfast and lunch on empty stomach. You can do all the way through. Shakes start Day 11.
Kim

I am on day 3 and my instructions say to start the catalyst on day 11. So far lost 2.2 lbs.
Healthy Girl

Take Catalyst all the way through and after the 24 Day.

I’m having a hard time with the flavor and consistency of the fiber drink. The packaging says that it can be mixed with water or a fat free beverage – can I mix it with no-sugar-added, not-from-concentrate apple juice?
Healthy Girl
22. Jan, 2013
@ Carrie,
No juice. Just mix well in cold water and drink immediately before it gets thick.
Marcia
22. Feb, 2013
I finally added a spoonful of fiber to a couple of ozs of water and drank it, then repeated the process until it was all down. It doesn’t get as think before it’s all down, and was much easier for me to swallow.

I am on my detox right now, is it OK if I eat two pieces of cut up, baked turkey wings with veggies?
Healthy Girl

@ Travis,
Stick to lean proteins like turkey breast, grilled chicken, fish.
Shirley

The online virtual coach said meal replacement shakes for breakfast during the cleanse, so I did that most days 1-6. Now I’ve found other sites, like this one, that say fruit only (after Spark). Could that be one reason for no weight loss/inches during the first 7 days?
kathy

my question is timeline.. on supplement checklist you have before breakfast you have 3 catalyst 1st yellow packet how long should you wait before taking breakfast supplements which are both white packets. then you have a before lunch 3 catalyst 2nd yellow packet how long should you wiat before having lunch?
Healthy Girl
13. Jan, 2013
@ Kathy,
Wait half hour before the white packets and half hour for lunch.
Anna

Healthy Girl

For best results use Spark and water. You can add lemon to your water.
Brittany

I wanted to start my 24 day challenge tomorrow but I ordered the Catalyst separate and it isn’t here yet..can I just start it when I get it or should I wait to start my 24 day challenge?

Just start and add it when you get it.
Heather

Is there a way to incorporate green juices or smoothies into the challenge at any point? You seem to have lots of info and I would really appreciate guidance on this one. Also, what is the reason to do the cleanse only once every 90 days. Can it be done again any sooner?
Healthy Girl
13. Jan, 2013
@ Heather,
The cleanse is preparing your body to lose weight and helping you eliminate food addictions. The doctors recommend once every 90 days. No juice, but you will have meal replacement shakes in Phase 2. Add some ice and put in a blender so that you enjoy as a smoothie. After the 24 Days, you can add frozen fruit to these.
Rene
06. Jan, 2013
So you’re saying just fruit for breakfast for the 10 day cleanse? any fruit? And the same for mid morning snack, or should you have a protein with that?
Healthy Girl

As long as you are losing, should be fine.

Hi, I’m on my 2nd day & wondering what a good breakfast would be? Eggs?? Thanks!!
Healthy Girl
02. Jan, 2013
Fruit is the breakfast. You can add hard boiled eggs or use them as your morning snack. You can add 1/2 cup plain oatmeal if losing okay.
