Nutrition. It's a hard thing to figure out. Every person is different.  Every diet is different. As we age our dietary needs and restrictions may change. We may crave certain foods that we've never craved before. We may dislike foods that we'd always enjoyed before.

 

I have joined Advocare, a heath and wellness company that provides nutritional and skincare products, as well as performance enhancing products,

to offer my clients a range of products to help them meet their individual goals.  

 

Cleanse and Nutrition

In October, my first group of "challengers" joined me for the 24 Day Challenge.  I had never signed on for a cleanse before, quite frankly, because I wasn't ready. I was concerned that there would be too much dietary restrictions that would not allow for any sustainable gains. But after researching Advocare's 24 Day Challenge, I knew I had found the right cleanse for me. Did you know that, on average, our bodies only absorb 30% of our food's nutrients? After a cleanse, our bodies can absorb 90%!  Since there are many cleanses' that people are doing, we all have a lot of options. You need to find the right one for you. I found one that has spoken to me because it is not only a cleanse but also has a nutrition component. The 24 day Advocare Challenge incorporates a 10 day cleanse followed by 14 days of nutrition. Since it is said that it takes 21 days to make something a habit, this 24 day challenge will help to make all your gains toward better nutritional eating sustainable.  

 

You can do the challenge anytime you want, but only every 3 months. I will be leading a challenge every 3 months.  

 

Improved Performance

Advocare offers various supplements to help you reach your fitness goals.  I have three products I almost can't live without now, Spark, Catalyst, and Meal Replacement Shakes.

 

Spark - is a vitamin and amino acid supplement.  Its sugar-free source of energy helps support mental focus and clarity without the crash you can often feel when taking other caffeine supplemented product.

 

Catalyst - is an amino acid supplement that helps to maintain muscle mass during exercise and helps to repair and protect muscle tissue.

 

Meal Replacement Shakes - are easy to make and deliver balanced nutrition that taste delicious. Each shake packs 24 grams of easily digestible protein, more than twice what you’ll find in many leading health shakes on the market. 

 

Advocare also offers several products that aid in muscle recovery, strength and post-workout nutrition.
