Thanks for being so helpful!
I am in outside sales and am in my car or appts all day- can you reccommendation easy, good snacks/lunches to have for someone like me who is on the go?
Only on day 2 and messed up eating the fajitas tonight:(
Healthy Girl
19. Mar, 2012
@ Kate,
Pack your lunch and snacks. Hard boiled eggs are great as are the 100 calorie bags of almonds for snacks.
Kate

Can I make fajitas w taco seasoning w low sodium and no MSG?
Also I see brown rice is ok, but has more carbs than my favorite corn tortillas- can I eat those?
Healthy Girl

@ Kate,
For best results, avoid during the cleanse.

Hi there…I am just a little confused on the complex carbs. I am on day three of the 24day challenge. My afternoon snack has been a rice cake with almond butter. I see that rice, hummus and oatmeal are listed as okay in one place…and then I noticed somewhere else that they say only to eat as needed.
Should I try to get through the 10days minus the carbs? I want the best possible results…and I am not a carb craver.
Thanks!
ps – this site is so helpful to me.
Healthy Girl
12. Mar, 2012
@ Stephanie,
Glad I can help. If you minimize to 1 serving per day, your results should be better.

hello…i have done the cleanse & 24 day & was in the 38 day tone up challenge & did great…joined a fitness ctr & am now wanting to lose more…i have started taking fibro trim & thermo plus before meals…one states to take 30 minutes before a meal, the other 10 to 15 minutes. i have been taking them together {too many time limits to remember} & want to know if to eat at the exact time after taking? or is it better to eat within that 30, 10 or 15 time frame? & if u do not eat within that time is the product not effective? when i take them i am usually going to be eating with the 30 minutes, is it better to wait the time ? or eat within the time? i have not been losing anymore according to the scale & been eating less…so was wondering what i mebbe have been doing wrong? thank*U…
Healthy Girl

We only use fibotrim when exposed to higher fat meal, not all the time. Using thermoplus half hour before a meal with catalyst is good. What meal plan are you following?
Lindsay
06. Mar, 2012
I was looking at the meal plan and it says at breakfast you need the Probiotic Restore and a fiber drink..the kit does not include these items…is there something I could use instead? Would a fiber bar work instead of fiber drink?
Can I use Whey Protein shakes during the Phase 1 if i mix it with water?
Healthy Girl
06. Mar, 2012
@ Lindsay,
The Herbal Cleanse kit contains both items, as does the 24 Day Challenge Kit. We don’t use the meal replacement shakes until Phase 2 and we mix them with water. Wait until after the cleanse. No fiber bars.
Fay

My husband is on the 10 day challenge and was wondering if he can have spaghetti sauce?
Healthy Girl
06. Mar, 2012
@ Fay,
Many spaghetti sauces contain things we are avoiding like sugar, wheat, so not a great idea.
thx
Jessica
09. Mar, 2012
I always buy spagetti sauce that is corn syrup free and wheat free, are these ok? The sauces I buy usually only have 5 ingredients, no added sugar and only 5grams of sugar which is naturally occuring from the tomatoes.
Healthy Girl
12. Mar, 2012
@ Jessica,
Check to be sure there isn’t alot of sodium.
Mindy
02. Mar, 2012
for the meals…do you eat until you are full or is there only a certain amount per meal? i looked at the recommend food list & meals, but just wondering how much food should you be eating a day. thanks!
Healthy Girl
06. Mar, 2012
@ Minday,
The great foods guide gives you some idea of portions. If you are still hungry, eat more of those same foods.
Misty

I’ve taken MNS MAX3 on my phase 2, but have forgotten to take my ‘before lunch’ packet (hectic work sched) and after time, I’ve accumulated many packets. When and how can I still take these? I am afraid to double up on lunch packets and then feel overstimulated. Or take them at supper and not be able to sleep. Can I still take them after I’ve eaten?
Healthy Girl
29. Feb, 2012
@ Misty,
Do not double up.
Bryenne
02. Mar, 2012
You say don’t double up, but can you answer if we can take them later if we forgot? Can I take it before dinner?
Healthy Girl
06. Mar, 2012
@ Bryenne,
As long as it doesn’t effect your sleep.

I’m in the cleansing stage. can i eat shrimp.? what bout chicken wings and drummetts? what bout popcorn?
Healthy Girl
29. Feb, 2012
@ Sherri,
Some say avoid shrimp, but we think okay to use in moderate portions if boiled. No cocktail sauce, however. Chicken wings, drumettes and popcorn are to be avoided. Pls review the instructions and grocery guide for foods that are advised. https://advotips.com/program-instructions/

When and how many omegaplex pills should take during my cleanse ?
Healthy Girl
29. Feb, 2012
@ Janie,
Take 2 with dinner.
Michelle
16. Mar, 2012
I’m confused….the instructions list 4. Which is correct, 2 or 4?
Healthy Girl
19. Mar, 2012
@ Michelle,
You can take 2-6.

I have a friend asking if V8 tomato soup is ok during the cleanse. Also, what about meat substitutes such as morning star?
Healthy Girl
29. Feb, 2012
@ Jessica,
V8 and other juices are a no. Use whole fruit and vegetables. Meat substitutes like Morning Star, in general, are not good for the challenge. Many have added sugar, wheat, etc. Look at the ingredients.
Kayla

From what I understood mushrooms were not a good choice for the 24 day challenge especially the cleanse part becuase mushrooms along with cheese are a mold? I have seen you have said a few times that mushrooms are OK to have but on the advocare yes/no food list mushrooms are listed as a food to avoid. Can you please explain?
(Sorry I asked this twice, not sure if it worked last time)
Healthy Girl
27. Feb, 2012
@ Kayla,
Mushrooms are fine to use. Not familiar with a restriction there.

Are foods allowed on a Paleo diet allowed? Does anyone have any other recipes other than the few suggested above? I love to experiment with new foods and recipes!
Healthy Girl

@Kari,
Not familiar with that. Look at the great foods guide https://advotips.com/program-instructions/
Cristina
23. Feb, 2012
Can I have peanut butter??
Healthy Girl
27. Feb, 2012
@ Cristina,
You may use 2 tables spoons of natural peanut butter with no sugar added “IF” your weight loss is doing well.
Tara@
22. Feb, 2012
How about cheese? Is cheese ok to eat during the cleanse phase? Also sliced boiled ham?
Healthy Girl
27. Feb, 2012
@ Tara,
No cheese or other dairy on the cleanse. Sty away from deli meats. Take a look at the great foods guide. https://advotips.com/program-instructions/

Do the eggs have to be hard boiled?
Healthy Girl
21. Feb, 2012
@ Jamie,
The eggs don’t have to be boiled, but it does make it easier when they are plain. Otherwise cook with PAM – no milk, butter, etc.
CATHERINE

I’m on my 2nd day of the herbel clensing phase. I ate some leftover chicken fajita for lunch today. Is that okay to eat during the clensing phase? It’s the kind that is already seasoned when you buy it. Also, I wasn’t sure whether to take 4 omega-plex pills or not during dinner since the bottle says to take 2 two times daily.
Healthy Girl
21. Feb, 2012
@ Catherine,
fajita can have lots of added ingredients that we are trying to avoid. Look at the ingredients to check. You can take 4 omegas as long as with a meal.
Gizele
16. Feb, 2012
Are hard boiled eggs not considered dairy?
Healthy Girl
21. Feb, 2012
Gizele,
They are not.

I’m just getting back into the swing of things again. I notice that a product called Body Lean is not available or has been re-named. Please tell me if it has been re-named? Thank you
Healthy Girl
16. Feb, 2012
@ Goots,
Not familiar with that product, what was it?
Goots
16. Feb, 2012
I figured it out. It’s called Muscle gain now. Has 25 grams of protein in each scope to help provide lean muscle gain. It’s beyond fantastic! Sorry for getting off the message board topic.
Healthy Girl
21. Feb, 2012
@ Goots,
We love Muscle Gain!

Are the Kraft Fat Free Salad dressings ok? Such as the Fat Free Catalina, Fat Free Italian, or Thousand Island? Alos, does anyone have a good recipe for a salad dressing?
Healthy Girl
16. Feb, 2012
@ Jamie,
Stick with a vinegar (not balsamic) and a small amount of oil, or Walden Farms.
Jacque
06. Feb, 2012
Is it ok to have more than one meal replacement shakes a day after phase 2?
Healthy Girl
08. Feb, 2012
@ Jacque,
Are you talking about using it after the 24 Day for breakfast and lunch? Would not hurt, but be sure to eat enough vegetables during the day also. You might like to try the Meal Replacement bars after the 24 Day – we love them!
Tricia
08. Feb, 2012
I was wondering if you can have seafood such as shrimp, lobster, or crab legs during the cleanse?
Healthy Girl
08. Feb, 2012
@ Tricia
Many say to avoid. I think you could do plain boiled shrimp (no cocktail sauce or butter) once during the cleanse as long as your loss if okay.

Day 1 of the 24 day challenge. Tomorrow is 1st breakfast day. Spark, Omega and Fiber drink. Then breakfast. Is breakfast normal…i.e. oatmeal or cereal? even after fiber drink? or just fruit. also, swimming is my sport. What to do before my swim workout? Thanks.
Healthy Girl

@ Kim,
No cereal. Please look at these instructions, the Great Foods grocery guide and meal suggestions here https://advotips.com/program-instructions/
Tracy
04. Feb, 2012
do you integrate the omegaplex in the same manner as the cleanse during days 11-24? I would assume the same for catalyst?
Thanks
Healthy Girl
05. Feb, 2012
@ Tracy,
Yes you do.
Jamie
04. Feb, 2012
Can you drink the meal replacement shakes the first 10 days?
Healthy Girl
05. Feb, 2012
@Jamie,
Our group does not drink until Phase 2 since we give up dairy during the cleanse.
Mary
02. Feb, 2012
I am starting the cleanse tomorrow and need to know what vegan protein sources are allowed during the first 10 days? Thanks.
Healthy Girl
03. Feb, 2012
@ Mary.
Tofu is your best bet. 1/2 -1 cup beans once per day. Assuming you do not use eggs. See other questions/answers about vegetarian suggestions for 24 day.
Michelle
16. Mar, 2012
Do you have a link to the vegetarian suggestions?
Healthy Girl
19. Mar, 2012
@ Michelle, Working on this.

How could you prepare as chicken faijta that would be appropriate for the cleanse
Natalis
01. Feb, 2012
I am a vegetarian, I don’t eat tofu. Can you recommend adairy free protein shake.can I do vegi burger’s?
Healthy Girl
01. Feb, 2012
@ Natalis,
I only have experience with the Advocare Meal Replacement shakes and Muscle Gain. Both have whey protein.
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 veggie burgers. They have a lower carb content and taste fantastic. Some of the veggie burgers are loaded with carbs and sodium, so be careful.
Socialbuttafly

Can I take the Advocare Protein Shake with the cleanse?
Healthy Girl
01. Feb, 2012
@ Socialbuttafly,
We don’t use until Phase II since we are avoiding dairy.
Melissa

Can you eat black eyed peas while doing the cleanse? And what types of salad dressings are you all using?
Healthy Girl
01. Feb, 2012
Yes, but cooked plain. Small portion should count as your complex carb.
Joe

I am fixing to start phase 2 of the 24 day challenge.. I have two questions:
1. Is it ok to eat SUBWAY?
2. What type of lean Steak is best?
Healthy Girl
31. Jan, 2012
@ Joe,
Stick to the plan per the instructions. https://advotips.com/program-instructions/ We are not suggesting steak, but if you must, ask for the leanest cut – can’t really advise about this as we don’t eat beef. 🙂
Jen
29. Jan, 2012
Is it ok to eat frozen yogurt occasionally after the cleanse phase?
Healthy Girl
29. Jan, 2012
@ Jen,
It depends on your weight loss. If you are losing quickly, you might be able to accommodate it once a week if there is a very low sugar content, but be careful – many of them are loaded with sugar and other things we are trying to avoid.
Mary Beth
28. Jan, 2012
what is your opinion on using meal replacement shakes during the cleanse. in general for lactose intolerant?
Healthy Girl
28. Jan, 2012
@ Mary Beth,
Our group does not use meal replacement shakes until the 2nd phase since we are eliminating dairy. Personally, the meal replacement shakes are my favorite. I use every day. They do have whey protein.
Bridgette
28. Jan, 2012
I am in Phase I of the 24 day challenge. I’m told no mushrooms through any phase. Is it ok to eat squash, onions, green peppers or ground turkey burger?
Healthy Girl
28. Jan, 2012
@ Bridgette,
All the items are fine including the mushrooms.
