Are the 5 Oz cans of Sunkist Tuna (in Oil or water) ok to eat during the 24 day challenge???
@ Tami,
Use the one in water or use the drypack.
I keep seeing hard-boiled egg suggestions, can I eat scrambled or sunny-side up? I’m not a fan of hard-boiled eggs, but I LOVE scrambled eggs for breakfast…
@ Emilee,
Scrambled without milk or butter. You can add water and use nonstick pan with Pam.
I just read through the comments…I too get confused with foods we can have no matter how many times I read the list. Unlike most “diets” its not very clear. I have been looking up recipies and food choices posted by others which is helpful.
I can eat most of these foods but need to blacken it or add something. Is blackening season allowed and or old bay? Also I love any seafood with coconut milk & curry powder. Are these allowed during “cleanse” part? And how about black tea?
@ K,
No coconut milk or black tea.
No blackening since there is frequently sugar in it.
Old Bay should be fine.
is tabasco alright to use. it has 0 calories and low salt content. an during first ten of the cleanse ok to eat whole wheat tortillas?
also can i use the spaghetti recipe during the cleanse that is on the dinner ideas part?
thanks
@ Maxwell,
Tabasco should be fine. No tortillas or other wheat. No pasta – not sure what recipe that you are referring to.
can you have chicken chili on the 10 day cleanse? We had the buffalo wing turkey burgers last night and they were fabulous. If so what is a good recipe?
@ Charyl,
Chicken chili is okay. Add some mushrooms and other veggies and small amount of beans. Be sure the canned tomatoes do not have added sugar.
I thought mushrooms weren’t allowed on the cleanse.
@ Cindy,
We have not had any issues using mushrooms on the cleanse.
I know you are able to eat some limited nuts during the cleanse. Are pistacios acceptable?
Almonds are a better choice, The raw ones are best.
My husband and I are on day 4 of the 24 day challenge. We are already running out of dinner ideas. Our sponsor tells us to stick with tuna, chicken and salmon during the cleanse. We’ve had tuna steak, salmon burger, salmon fillet and chicken. I need more dinner ideas…anything good that we can make with canned tuna?
Did you look at the suggestions and recipes? Ground chicken, turkey, other fish like tilapia, tofu are good choices.
Can I add minimal dried spices to my fish/chicken before cooking? Also, why is balsamic vinegar a no-no? (oops, I just realized it today. I am on Day 3 and used it the first two days for lunches).
@ LWaverly
The spices are great, just don’t overdo the salt. Balsamic vinegar has a lot of sugar.
I had 1 tbs of balsamic vinegar and 1 tbs of EVOO today as well with my salad! What are some suggestions for dressings for the salads?
You can use that, but use another vinegar that is not balsamic, or use lemon juice. Walden Farms dressings are great also.
My husband and i are doing the 24 day challenge. We need more snack ideas. He thinks about cake, and bread everyday.no popcorn????
@Arie
The 100 bags of raw almonds are great, as is Muscle Gain after the cleanse. Hard boiled eggs are also good.
Am I allowed to add the ReHydrate to my water while on the 24-Day Challenge??
For best results, use Spark and water until you finish the 24 Day challenge.
i am on day 8 and so far im not impressed with this product.. im hungry all the time ..i think advocare needs to have more infor..im going to stick it out for the 24 days and see if it gets any better on the 11 day ..im looking for breakfast guides and lunch ..
@Nicole
If you are hungry, then you are not eating enough. Please review the instructions, great foods guide and meal suggestions.
I did the 24 day challenge during Christmas. I am now doing just the catalyst. I am a teacher and need something quick and easy to pack for lunch. Can you give me any suggestions?
@Tiffany
Look at the great foods guide.
Some of our favorite lunches:
• Grilled chicken and veggies or salad
• Hard boiled eggs and fruit
• Meal Replacement Bars (the easiest and fastest lunch to pack). Love them!
• Leftovers from dinner – especially grilled salmon with veggies 🙂
• Just Turkey and fruit
ok – i need to know what i can put on my salad….i used to use balsamic vinegar but that is specifically listed as a no-no.
Vinegar (not blasamic) and a tiny bit of olive oil or try Walden Farms dressing.
I just started the 24 day challenge. Was talking with my daughter in law and she wondered what impact this would have on her thyroid medication she takes.
You should always check with the doctor regarding specific questions about medication and health history.
I see during the clense I can’t have sugar or honey, what about splenda in my lemon water?
@ Teri
Use in limited portions if you must. 🙂
What about the sweet tooth? Can I have dessert during the 24 day challenge?
Try a bowl of berries, some melon or an another fruit that you enjoy.
Any suggestions……..I am having an awful time getting the fiber drink down, it gags me so so bad. Could I add it to some oatmeal?
Mix briskly in cold water and drink IMMEDIATELY. The longer you let it sit, the thicker it becomes.
Will some wheat be readded to the diet after the 10 day cleanse? Like bread??
Yes, you can have 1 slice of bread or
other complex carb once per day after the cleanse. It should be whole grain, not whole wheat.
Can you eat organic sesame sticks on the cleanse?
@ KatieL No crackers, or other products with wheat.
When is Catalyst added into the program? What phase?
Catalyst is taken during all phases and should be continued after the 24 Day Program.
My husband just started and I have been trying to find things to cook. What kind of beans can he have if i make a chicken chili?
You can use the traditional kidney or cannelloni beans.
I work the graveyard shift. Any suggestions? Should I treat 1 pm when I get up as my breakfast?
@ Heath, Yes – that is what you should do.
I am a vegetarian starting the cleanse. Any tips for meals?
Tofu is good. We are big fans of the SoyBoy Tofu Lin http://www.advocaretips.com/shes-in-love-with-the-boy/. Natural peanut butter with no sugar added in very limited portions is good.
Do you eat fish, eggs or dairy? Dairy after the cleanse is fine.
After the cleanse, try the Griller’s Prime burgers after the cleanse . They have a lower carb content and taste fantastic. Some of the veggie burgers are loaded with carbs and sodium, so be careful.
what about venison?
Should be fine as long as not fried, coated or covered in sauce.
Today is my first day for the cleanse day! I realized I need to adjust all the morning ritual. First I drank Spark, then drank fiber, then the next 8 0z of water, by the time that was finished, I was DIZZY! too much water I guess too fast. THen I could hardly get down the boiled eggs.Just not my thing. What else can I eat for breakfast. I was trying to hold out on the shakes till the next phase. What do you suggest?
@Kim,
Half hour after the fiber drink eat some fruit. You can have the hard boiled eggs as a snack mid morning.
How about dried fruits like rasins? Also should I stay away from white rice? Stick to brown rice if needed?
No dried fruit. Stick to fresh fruit and berries. See the grocery guide for suggestions. Brown rice once per day in small portion is fine.
starting the 24 day challange tomorrow 1/3/12. i am really kinda confused as to what i am supposed to eat and not eat and when i am supposed to take what………. the meeting i went to tonight was not very informative for new people. everyone else seems to have done this before.
You can print out instruction, grocery guide and meal suggestions here.
l One box of Meal Replacement Shakes – Chocolate
l One box of Herbal Cleanse – Citrus
l One bottle of OmegaPlex®
l One box of AdvoCare Spark® – Mandarin Orange
l One box of AdvoCare Spark® – Fruit Punch
l Your choice of one box of MNS® Max 3, C, or E
This is all I received in my 24 day challenge. Di I need to order the CATALYST separate, or is it included in one of the boxes?
Thanks for your time!
Jeremiah
Jeremiah,
Yes, Catalyst is a separate item. You may also want to consider Thermo Plus after the cleanse:
Catalyst helps maintain muscle mass during exercise & weight management.
ThermoPlus supports the body’s ability to convert fat into energy, promotes a healthy metabolism and helps suppress appetite.
WHat is a good breakfast during the cleanse?
Jenny,
We love hard boiled eggs and berries!
Can I replace sugar with honey? Which one is recommended?
Aver,
No sugar or honey.
Would crackers and for instance a ham or turkey slice be workable?
No crackers – we are eliminating wheat. Turkey is fine. Try eliminating ham, and other deli meats that have nitrates added.
Can you have turkey bacon?
For best results, you would stay away because of the nitrates.
Can i eat chili made with tomato paste, diced tomatoes, kidney beans, green peppers, onion, and chicken?
@ Kim,
Sounds good.
can you eat ground beef
@ Zach,
Our team eliminates beef during the cleanse. Try ground turkey or chicken.
I just started the 24 day challenge, is there a list of foods we can eat, that i can print out. i need help
@ Bev
Program guide/instructions and grocery list here.
Is granola mixed with almonds and raisins ok?
@ ME
Eat the foods suggested. Read the instructions https://bestnewhometips.com/program-instructions/
During the cleanse can I use the Walden Honey Dijon dressing? It says calorie free, sugar free, fat free, carb free, gluten free and cholesterol free on the label.
Cari,
First choice is vinegar and small amount of oil. WF is 2nd choice.
What does WF stand for?
Walden Farms
it says complex carbs are good for the 10 day cleanse . Whole grain bread is an excellent complex carb. I get confused why it says no bread. does it maybe mean no wheat or white bread?
@ Matt,
Try brown rice, hummus, etc. as suggested and eliminate all wheat (including white bread and other whole grain) for the cleanse.
Are 5hour energy shots acceptable?
Use SLAM or Spark.
Why not 5hour energy? What is the difference?
I can tell you what I know about Advocare products. Backed by a Science/Medical Board, the products that Advocare provides helped me lose a ton of weight and get healthy.
Are there comparable products on the market that you can use for protein drinks and bars? The items are expensive and i am currently unemployed. I want to do the program, but I need to watch thebudget. Thank you.
@Mignon,
We recommend Advocare products, and there are many opportunities for discounts. Please CONTACT US if you would like more information.
