After speaking with Dana and a few other people in the boot camp classes I decided it would be my best option to kick start my diet. I had my&nbsp;exercise&nbsp;routine down but was not doing well when it came to my eating habits. I wanted to do the cleanse to develop better eating habits and to prove to myself that I could stick to this for 24 days and not stray like I typically do on a diet. Literally by the second day of the cleanse I could feel a difference, I just felt better and healthier. The first 10 days are the "cleanse" phase where you have to be the most strict with your diet. It only took me 3 or 4 days to get into a different cooking routine and adapt to cooking with the foods I was allowed to have on the cleanse. By the 11th day when I started the burn phase I was feeling fantastic. I dropped 5 pounds the first 10 days during the cleanse phase and just felt so much healthier. I was eating so many fruits and vegetables and stuck to a really raw diet and made sure to drink lots and lots of water. In just a few days I could even see a difference in my skin. &nbsp;I made it all 24 days without cheating on the diet and making sure to take all of the supplements. I was so proud of myself&nbsp;because&nbsp;I have never been able to so strictly stick to something like this. By the end of the cleanse I felt the best I ever had. I developed a much&nbsp;healthier&nbsp;eating habit and learned to substitute foods the fattier foods I would typically go for with&nbsp;things&nbsp;that were acceptable on the cleanse. I am the thinnest I have ever been, feel healthier than ever and am so happy with how my body looks. My sister is getting married in March and I plan on doing the cleanse again the month before the wedding so I can make sure I look my best in front of all my family and friends! I would highly&nbsp;recommend&nbsp;the Advocare Cleanse, it did wonders for me and if I can stick to it for the whole 24 days, anyone can!&nbsp;...............Caroline McNally﻿</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.personaltrainerdenver-dana.com/blog-advocare-product-reviews/rss-comments-entry-9099338.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>A Testimonial for Advocare</title><dc:creator>Danafull</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 04 Oct 2010 23:12:23 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.personaltrainerdenver-dana.com/blog-advocare-product-reviews/2010/10/4/a-testimonial-for-advocare.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">408216:7756694:9099202</guid><description><![CDATA[<p><br />&nbsp;I first starting using Advocare products in July, 2010 when I decided to embark on the 24-Day Challenge.&nbsp; Needless to say, I've been hooked ever since!<br />I've always had a hard time losing weight, and even though I really haven't had much to lose, I've always wanted to "lean-out" and&nbsp;drop about 5-10 lbs.&nbsp; Advocare products have helped me do that.&nbsp; When I combined TRX classes with the 24-day Challenge, followed by regular use of Advocare products and "clean" eating, I was able to lose the 5 lbs. I had been striving to lose for years.<br />&nbsp;<br />My two favorite products, and ones that I always have on hand,&nbsp;are the Meal Replacement Shakes and Spark.&nbsp; The shakes are satisfying, nutritious, and most importantly, they actually taste good!&nbsp; My favorite flavor is Vanilla, but the Chocolate and Berry are tasty as well.&nbsp; If I ever need a quick meal on-the-go, or even a snack, i reach for the shakes.&nbsp; I usually include a couple of ice cubes when mixing and this makes the shake extra frothy and creamy and delicious! <br />&nbsp;<br />Spark is amazing. I usually drink 1-2 Spark a day.&nbsp; (one in the morning and one mid-afternoon)&nbsp; If i'm feeling particularly tired or not clear headed, I reach for a Spark and it never disappoints.&nbsp; It helps with mental focus, and it gives me that small boost of energy that I needed.&nbsp; I would recommend drinking a maximum of 2 Spark a day, and don't drink one after 3p, or else you may have a hard time going to sleep.&nbsp; <br />&nbsp;<br />Other products that I use include the Herbal Cleanse (every 90 days), MNS Max 3, Advocare Slam, and Catalyst.<br /><br />I used to crave sweet/salty things, and I no longer crave anything.&nbsp; This is huge for me because I used to have the world's biggest sweet tooth and with the&nbsp;"clean" eating and use of&nbsp;Advocare products, those&nbsp;cravings have disappeared.<br />&nbsp;<br />As cheesy as it sounds, I truly believe Advocare products have changed my life.<br />Losing weight, and keeping it off,&nbsp;doesn't happen by&nbsp;going on a "diet".&nbsp; It's about&nbsp;changing your&nbsp;lifestyle, changing the way you&nbsp;eat,&nbsp;and staying committed.&nbsp; I would recommend the 24-day challenge to anyone.&nbsp; It's a great way to start&nbsp;the&nbsp;change of&nbsp;your lifestyle.&nbsp; After the 24 days, you won't want to go&nbsp;back to your old ways!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; .........................Kat Morel&nbsp; Age 30﻿</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.personaltrainerdenver-dana.com/blog-advocare-product-reviews/rss-comments-entry-9099202.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>AdvoCare® Muscle Fuel Pre-Workout Drink</title><dc:creator>Danafull</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 20 Sep 2010 19:20:36 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.personaltrainerdenver-dana.com/blog-advocare-product-reviews/2010/9/20/advocare-muscle-fuel-pre-workout-drink.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">408216:7756694:8940417</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>AdvoCare&reg; Muscle Fuel<br />Pre-Workout Drink<br /><br />Ok.... I tried this one morning when I was feeling uninspired but, reeeally wanted to do a 6am workout and do it right.&nbsp; The fizzy drink was delicious and easy to get down and I was amazed at how good I felt, right away.&nbsp; I really did feel like doing a kick butt workout and I even had fun. Afterwards, I even felt like I could have carried the gym on my back around the block a few times.&nbsp; I felt great all day, almost like my muscles said thank you.&nbsp; I was also excited that this drink was not full or sugar or simple carb energy like so many &ldquo;energy drinks&rdquo; out there.&nbsp; I am so excited to have my own instant motivation.&nbsp; The added bonus of performance enhancement isn&rsquo;t bad either!&nbsp; :-)﻿</p>

I think this may have to do with substituting Spark for coffee in the morning...<a href="https://www.advocare.com/10072644/Store/ItemDetail.aspx?itemCode=A2095&amp;id=E&amp;flavor=M&amp;size=C">read more about Spark</a>.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Next I noticed my nails look so much better.&nbsp;&nbsp; Whiter, stronger, healthier-really impressive since I got rid of my acrylic nails only 6 months ago(30yrs I had them -nuts I'm probably toxic as a result..fashion residue from my old life)</p>
<p>Next I noticed that I wake up easier at 4:50am in the morning..thank goodness, enough said.&nbsp;</p>
<p>I think my face and skin look pdg(pretty darn good)-things I never used to think of-ladies over 40 you know...</p>
<p>Just yesterday I realized the most impressive thing about my new regime...my body and joint aches are gone.&nbsp; For the last 10yrs I have felt ouchey in the joints, stiff and prone to muscle soreness and stiffness.&nbsp; I figured it was just age, my heredity, and the fact that I work out like a 20yr old-oh well, can't change any of that.&nbsp;&nbsp; I used to groan every-time I stood up and sat down.&nbsp; Getting out of bed in the morning I felt like a craw-dad and it took me to the bathroom to be upright.&nbsp; Funny how you notice pain when it arrives but have to realize when it is gone.&nbsp; Well... it is gone baby and I certainly haven&rsquo;t slowed down!!&nbsp; Read about the kick bootie workout I did this morning with some special 9am ladies.
