Jicama is fine for all phases. Enjoy!

I am finishing day 1 of the Challenge… definately a good choice! Two questions: can we eat other types of fish/seafood in phase 1 other than tuna or salad? Cod perhaps? (baked of course) Second question, Are chicken or turkey good to use during phase 1?
Healthy Girl
28. Jan, 2012
@ Carolyn,
All are good for both phases.

I am on day 3 of the Cleanse. I thought I read you can eat steaks but I keep seeing flyers and food lists adnd I do not see that as an option. Is this ok? Should I not have anymore? Thanks!
Healthy Girl
28. Jan, 2012
@ Kali,
We eliminate beef during the cleanse.
Charley

i am past my 24day challenge and continuing to stick to my eating habits but i was wondring if steak in the right porportions is ok? i was also seeing where you said tuna in oil but on my grocery sheet it says tuns in water, is that ok or is that bad cause i normally eat it on a salad and as far as dressing i bought organic and use the recommended amout. also i take the Omega, Catalyst, Max3 and i was wondering if there was anything else you would recommend for me?
Healthy Girl
28. Jan, 2012
@ Charlie,
We advise tuna in water. After the cleanse, limited amounts of lean beef would be okay, but not on a daily basis. 🙂
Just because the dressing says organic, doesn’t mean it will help you to continue to lose weight or maintain your loss. Suggest vinegar with small amount of olive oil or Walden Farms dressing for best results.

What if we use low sodium chicken stock instead of H2o for making couscous?

Can you eat Chilli on the cleanse?

Can you have almond milk? and sugar free pudding during the cleanse?
Healthy Girl
24. Jan, 2012
Casey,
Stick to the foods recomended on the instruction sheet. No pudding or milk or dairy products.
Gen
24. Jan, 2012
What about Couscous? Can I eat that as a healthy carb made with stock and no oils?
Healthy Girl
24. Jan, 2012
You could use a small serving as your complex carb. I would avoid using stock which will be high in sodium.
josh
24. Jan, 2012
Am I allowed to eat a complex carb once a day during the cleanse phase? The directions list it as an option but I’ve read some of your responses and you say to wait until after the cleanse.
Healthy Girl
24. Jan, 2012
@ Josh, 1 per day is fine. Just use small portion of brown rice, hummus, beans or half sweet potato. No wheat products.
Michelle
23. Jan, 2012
running out of breakfast ideas for the 10 day cleanse…just had fruit and hard boiled egg… is steel cut oats okay? Please give suggestions. Thanks!
Healthy Girl
24. Jan, 2012
@Michelle,
You can use the oats, but for best results, stick with the fruit (and hard boiled eggs if you want)
On Day 11, you will have a change when you add in the meal replacement shakes.

I have reviewed recipes on Skinny Crockpots website….it appears they would follow advocares meal suggestions as far as chicken/turkey options. i am just looking for a few more recipe options. agree or disagree?
Healthy Girl
22. Jan, 2012
@ Carla,
Lots of ingredients that I saw in quick review do not comply. Pls review the program instructions and grocery guide. https://advotips.com/program-instructions/

Can I use balsamic vinegar on my salads instead of lemon juice or salsa which I don’t find satisfying?
Healthy Girl
22. Jan, 2012
@ Gen
We avoid balsamic vinegar because of the sugar content.
Mike
21. Jan, 2012
Hello, I have seen its ok for canola mayo…. But what about olive oil mayo, isn’t that healthier. I looked up the nutrition on both and olive oil looks better.
Healthy Girl
22. Jan, 2012
@ Mike,
Us the canola which is half the fat and half the calories, but just a tiny amount with some mustard mixed in.
Lilliana
21. Jan, 2012
Can i have at least one cup of coffee with splenda? what about creamer for my coffee?
Healthy Girl
22. Jan, 2012
@Lilliana,
On the cleanse we avoid some things to get our body primed to accept nutrition. No coffee or dairy. Use Spark and drink water.

I am taking the MNSMAX C… I also have thermoplus, catalysts, carb ease, and fibo trim. I know to add the thermolus with the catalyst, but I am confused where to add in the carb ease and the fibo trim? Thankyou
Healthy Girl
22. Jan, 2012
@ Amanda,
Wait until after the 24 Day, and follow the directions on the bottle. They are not used daily.
Cherina

Can I have 100% whole wheat bread, pasta or tortillas during the 24 day challenge?
Healthy Girl
19. Jan, 2012
@ Cherina,
None of the above during the cleanse – Phase I. You could use 1 slice of the bread during Phase II as your complex carb of the day.
Lexie
18. Jan, 2012
Hi!! I am currently on day 2 of my 24 day and am highly interested in adding in the catalyst. Do people usually see better results with the catayst? I have read some places to take it 10-15 minutes before a workout an other places to take on an empty stomach- which do you suggest?
Healthy Girl
18. Jan, 2012
@ Lexie,
Catalyst is a great product to add in. I take half hour before breakfast and lunch on empty stomach. You can take before your workout if on empty stomach.
Cherina
18. Jan, 2012
Can you have egg beaters?
Healthy Girl
18. Jan, 2012
@ Cherina,
As long as you are not adding butter or milk, should be okay.
Rhonda
18. Jan, 2012
How about vegetarian options? Is tofu an acceptable protein source?
Healthy Girl
18. Jan, 2012
@ Rhonda,
Tofu is an excellent source of protein to use. We are big fans of the SoyBoy Tofu Lin http://www.advocaretips.com/shes-in-love-with-the-boy/.
Natural peanut butter with no sugar added in very limited portions is good.
Do you eat fish, eggs or dairy? Dairy after the cleanse is fine.
After the cleanse, try the Griller’s Prime burgers after the cleanse . They have a lower carb content and taste fantastic. Some of the veggie burgers are loaded with carbs and sodium, so be careful.
Stephanie
18. Jan, 2012
I am on Day 2 of the 10 day challenge and I was wondering, can I take the catalyst now or wait till Days 14-24? The other question is if I follow the guide online for the 10 Day, it says take 4-6 probiotic pills at dinner, but the bottle of pills says only 2..what do I do? and if more than 2, how many?
Healthy Girl
18. Jan, 2012
@ Stephanie
Yes, Catalyst should be used on all phases.
Healthy Girl
18. Jan, 2012
@ Stephanie,
Yes, Catalyst is for all Phases. It is 4-6 Omegas, not probiotics. You can take 2 at lunch and 2 at dinner. Just be sure you take them with a meal.

My mom is doing the 24 day challenge and likes fish,but is always texting me about what she can eat. Please help! Also, wondering why I gained 1.2lbs. on this cleanse??? Do people ever gain weight on a cleanse? Thx!

What about fingerling potatoes after 10 day cleanse
Healthy Girl
18. Jan, 2012

Complex carbs once per day after cleanse if neeeded. For best results, use 1/2 sweet potato, half cup brown rice, hummus or other complex carb.

There are only 14 meal replacement shakes in the 24-day bundle. Should I use them for the first phase (cleansing) or second phase (MNS)?
Healthy Girl
18. Jan, 2012
@ Christina,
The shakes are used after the cleanse (2nd phase).
anna
17. Jan, 2012
the last 14 days of the challenge can you go back to having dairy and beef?
Healthy Girl
17. Jan, 2012

Limited dairy like greek yogurt is okay. Lean beef – use sparingly.

Are refrained beans ok if they are fat/salt free?

Nothing fried.
Brian

They why are half of the Advocare suggested recipes calling for frying Chicken in oil in a pan, or vegies cooking in oil on the pan, do you not consider these fried foods?
Healthy Girl
18. Jan, 2012
Best results are with grilling chicken and steaming veggies. The recipes with PAM in nonstick pan, or tiny amount of olive oil should be fine and have worked for people.

I am just starting out with the 10 day challenge and having a hard time finding enuf meal plans and snack ideas for just this challenge. Every link seems to concentrate on the 24 day. Where can I find a good grocery list and list of meal plans for just the 10 day?
Healthy Girl

@ Shanna. The 10 day cleanse is Phase I of the 24 Day Challenge, so these items work well. You can download instructions and a grocery guide here https://advotips.com/program-instructions/

Judi Poynor

Day 10 of 24 day challenge. I have also purchased liptolean and thermoplus. So now I want to add them to the catalyst and mns3, but I am so confused when to take all of this and in what combination and right times? It seems like a lot of supplements….but I feel great!!!! I have seen all the charts but still can’t quite figure it out. And sometimes it says 1-3 tabs, really would I want to take 3 catalyst, 3 thermoburns…? Any helpful breakdown would be appreciated.
Healthy Girl
15. Jan, 2012
@ Judi,
Take 1 Thermoplus on empty stomach when you take Catalyst. Leptolean once per day, 45 minutes before lunch or dinner.
