Not sure why the pamphlet says to eat a complex carb during the cleanse phase and you say not. Please explain.

@ Mike,
Different teams have slightly different guidelines. Our group has been doing this method with great results for years. It is fine to eat a complex carb on the cleanse, but keep your carb intake to 100 grams per day. This includes Spark, fruit, veggies.

I also misunderstood the “complex carbs.” We’ve eaten wheat bread/roll on day one and today on day 3. Should I just stop eating the bread? Will we still get desired results? We’ve already lost 4 lbs. each (and I only started at 132 –
)
Thanks in advance!

@ Dana,
For best results, yes.

AdvoGirl

@ Bryan,
Not suggested. Look at the ingredients:Filtered water, tapioca flour, palm fruit oil, non-GMO expeller pressed canola and/or pressed safflower oil, pea protein, coconut oil, salt, inactive yeast, vegetable glycerin, xanthan gum, vegan natural flavours, gum arabic, lactic acid (vegan, for flavor), annatto, titanium dioxide (a naturally occurring mineral), natural smoke flavour, vegan enzyme. And high in carbs.

I am on my second day of advocare, and it lists wheat bread under complex carbs, so I had a piece of wheat toast with breakfast this morning, but now I’m reading that you aren’t suppost to have wheat or bread during the cleanse phase. So I’m confused. Did I mess up already?
AdvoGirl

@ Amber,
Continue on. Avoid all wheat products during the cleanse.

In the booklet it lists complex carbs protein and veggie or fruit for every meal now im reading on here to keep carbs to a minimum. I also read no wheat bread or dairy but the list of foods I got when I started says skim milk and nonfat yogurt. Explain to me what im supposed to be eating for my cleanse bcyour saying something completely different than what my sheets say that I got from advocare.
AdvoGirl

Our team finds best results when keeping carbs to 100 per day and no more than 30 at a meal. We also eliminate dairy during the cleanse. Many people find they feel better and lose quicker continuing in that fashion.

I saw somewhere else you could eat wheat bread on the 10 day cleanse. I’m on day 4 and now I’m scared I have messes up!!

Can u eat regular peanut butter during cleanse?
AdvoGirl
19. Apr, 2013
@ Tara,
Most peanut butter has added sugar. Find “natural, no sugar added” peanut butter.

I am on day two of the cleanse how much fruit and veggies can I have I feel so hungry and that I am not eating enough I also had a the 100 cal pack of dried roasted for a snack is this ok and how many of them can I have
AdvoGirl
23. Apr, 2013
@ Jacke,
You shouldn’t be that hungry. Add some more veggies. Portion size is discussed in the Great Foods Guide. Use raw almonds instead. 1 package per snack.
Heather

I am doing the cleanse and in the back of the booklet it says complex carbs can be whole grain bread is that allowed in phase 1?
AdvoGirl
09. Apr, 2013
@ Heather,
No wheat on Cleanse. Can be your complex carb in Phase 2.

Can you have pork tenderloin while on the cleanse?
AdvoGirl
09. Apr, 2013
@ Jessica,
You can use if prepared with spices and not marinated in something that contains too much sodium and possibly sugar.

I am on day 5 of the cleanse and am not sure if I’m eating enough? The best way for me to track food is by calories….I’m eating only lean meat, fruits, and veggies, and almonds and that is all…it’s usually under 1,000 calories and I’ve always been told that is not enough? Any thoughts on the amount I should be eating? The supplements and schedule are easy and I have that down…just not sure about the food? help!
AdvoGirl

@ Mandy,
Look at the Grocery guide and suggested portion sizes.
Callie

I’m on day 2 of the cleanse. For breakfast I have egg whites and oatmeal, lunch I have fish-veggies-and sweet potato, and dinner I have fish and veggies again. Does this sound like doin this right? The pamphlet says to have a complex carb for breakfast and lunch. Dinner it’s optional. It just seems like your comments from above aren’t matching the pamphlet for complex carbs. Now thinking I’m having too many? I don’t want to feel like I wasted my money on this.
AdvoGirl

@ Callie,
For best results, keep your carb count to 100 per day (this includes fruit, veggies, etc.).

What about soy milk???
AdvoGirl
09. Apr, 2013
@ Jonaie,
During the cleanse, best to avoid all milk.

Can I have mini babybel light cheese for a snack? Also can I have Okios nonfat Greek yogurt for a snack?
AdvoGirl

On the cleanse no cheese or yogurt or other dairy during the cleanse.

Advkgjrl:
Are corn tortillas ok during the 24 day challenge? and is there an alternative to bread.
AdvoGirl
26. Mar, 2013
@ Dustin,
For best results, avoid. You may have 1 piece of whole wheat bread on Phase 2 per day as your complex carb, but you would be better with brown rice, half a sweet potato, etc.
Gina

Is it ok to take catalyst if I am breast feeding?
AdvoGirl
18. Mar, 2013
@ Gina,
According the FAQs on Advocare’s site, it is okay.
Kathy

I’m on day 8 and am wondering if I can create recipes using the items listed on the plan, like turkey meatballs using only ground white turkey, onions, peppers and egg. Also, thinking of soup with fresh tomatoes, chicken breast, onions, peppers, spices, brown rice.
Do I have to stick to just the lean meats and steamed veggies or are these recipe ideas OK?
AdvoGirl
12. Mar, 2013
@ Kathy,
As long as you don’t add other items, and have reasonable portion control and you continue to lose weight.

Hi!, I’m on my 2nd day of my cleanse and I have to much confusion with complex carbs, I need to eat twice a day? I was eating organic 100% whole wheat bread and this morning I add on my breakfast Organic brown rice grits but I don’t know if I’m doing right. Also I would like to know if I can eat chick peas, they are carbs?
AdvoGirl
12. Mar, 2013
On the cleanse we eliminate ALL wheat. One complex carb a day will yield best results. Review these instructions.
Rachel

Hi, I am on the cleanse phase and have been eating smoked salmon and I just wanted to see if that was ok since I have been seeing suggestions of grilled fish, not smoked. It tastes so good I feel like it must be bad. Thanks
Rachel
12. Mar, 2013
I looked at the nutritional info and it looked like it had added sugar so I stopped eating it and starting cooking chicken and lean turkey dishes but my weight loss has also plateaued. Considering going back to smoked salmon and raw broccoli for dinner as I was losing weight when I was eating this. Thoughts?
AdvoGirl
12. Mar, 2013
@ Rachel,
Are you following this plan and taking the supplements?
AdvoGirl
12. Mar, 2013
@ Rachel,
Staying away form smoked and processed meats and fish is advised.

I have family coming to visit this weekend and I need meal ideas that don’t scream “diet” when they eat it. I already have turkey burgers on the menu with sweet potato chips, but does anyone have any other suggestions?? We’ll be on days 13-16 while they’re here. Thanks!!
Amber

I am on my second day of the cleanse. I am drinking over 130oz of water..and I am eating as the plan suggests but I feel like I am starving right after I eat? Will this go away? Also I was a BIG beer drinker, I am talking 6-7 a night & more on the weekends so with no drinking I am getting headaches as I detox…I know eventually my tummy will shrink and I will “dry” out but honestly I hate being hungry? can I eat more fruits & veggies?
AdvoGirl
12. Mar, 2013
@ Amber,
Eat more fruit veggies and protein at the required times. Be sure to use Spark.
