24 Day Challenge

Years ago when I first decided to lose weight I was introduced to Advocare at a bootcamp I went to, they came in and told us all about the Herbal Cleanse. 

No dairy, no sugar, no processed food, no white bread.

Sounded like torture to me and I am not a believer in 'pills' for weight loss.

BUT several other people decided to do it, so I said I would too and it was hard. Real hard. 

I even gave up coffee for the 10 days.

Talk about cray-cray, I don't function well with out coffee.

I lost 10 pounds in 10 days though.

Since that time I've done the Herbal Cleanse twice, with meager results, probably because I had less weight to lose than I did the first time.

I also tried out the MNS Max 3 recently, this little gem right here is what gets me up at 5am everyday. I've never had this much energy!

A friend of mine wanted me to try the 24 Day Challenge.

I was hesitant ONLY because after a year stuck at this weight, I'm not sure ANYTHING can get me to lose those last 10.

I already eat healthy, especially lately, I've really cleaned up my bad habits.

Clean Eating really helped me to choose healthy snacks and get rid of those empty calories.

So, I decided to give it a go and let me tell you if I get over this hump it will be a miracle :)

BUT I will be ok it I don't lose weight, toning up is high on my list of wants, if I can get more muscle definition I'm all about it.

So, what is the 24 Day Challenge?

The first 10 days are the Cleanse Days.

You clean your body of nasty toxins by eating more veggies and no sugar or dairy.

You drink a fiber drink {which is a little gritty so I down mine with a straw}

You will take the herbal pills before bed, these will clean you out the next morning, if you know what I mean :)

The next 13 days are where you rev up your metabolism by taking the MNS Max E and use the Meal Replacement Shakes.

I've never used the shakes, so I'll be interested to see if they actually keep me full as well as my regular breakfast.

PS> I was not paid to do this, this is my real and honest opinion on the product. Nothing is a miracle, in my experience these products only work if you are eating right and exercising!
