Advocare

Now, I am not one to shamelessly promote things that I’m “selling,” hence this tab at the top of my page.  :-)

What is Advocare?  Well, in short, Advocare products are created for a variety of reasons: for nutritional supplementation, to get more energy, to lose weight, or to just increase your performance in your workouts.

I will tell you that I use two products regularly: the Spark drink and the Rehydrate drink.  Spark is great for energy and contains more than 20 different vitamins. 

AdvoCare Spark® Energy Drink

I used this to “wean” myself off of Diet Coke – which was HARD to do!  I love Spark because it doesn’t give me the “crash and burn” effect that many other caffeinated drinks do.  Also, it doesn’t leave me bloated like my beloved Diet Coke.  My favorite flavor is Grape (tastes JUST like Grape Kool-Aid!), but I also love Fruit Punch, Pink Lemonade, Cherry, and Mandarin Orange (I haven’t tried the Citrus flavor yet).

Rehydrate is a GREAT drink for people who work out regularly. 

Rehydrate Electrolyte Replacement Drink

As I’ve mentioned before on my blog, I drink a LOT of water.  I mean, over 150 oz. a day – and I’m STILL thirsty all the time!  This is where Rehydate came in.  I was getting headaches (from dehydration), and Rehydrate has helped eliminate those headaches.  It is an Electrolyte Replacement drink (much like Gatorade or Powerade), but UNLIKE those sports drinks, it contains antioxidants, carbohydrates, and other nutrients.  Just check out this comparison chart below:

Though I haven’t personally done the 24-Day Challenge, I have a few friends that have.  None of them have been disappointed (and there is a money-back guarantee). 

24-Day Challenge Bundle

They have all lost weight and enjoyedi increased energy from the Challenge.  It begins with an Herbal Cleanse (which I have taken – not the type of “Cleanse” that keeps you chained to the toilet!) for the first half, and days 11-24 focus on your metabolism and appetite.  My friends have all described this as a great way to increase their energy and give them the “boost” they need to kick start weight loss.

 

These are just a few of the Advocare products that I truly believe in.  One of my good friends is firmly behind this company, and she is a Registered Dietitian.  We all know that the best way to lose weight and be healthy are through our diet and exercise – but for me, it truly helps to have ENERGY to be able to do those things!

If you have any questions about Advocare, please email me at balancebroad@yahoo.com, and I’d be happy to answer them for you!  :-)
