Is Jicama something I can eat on this challenge? If so what about the cleanse phase.
@ Josh,
Jicama is fine for all phases. Enjoy!
I am finishing day 1 of the Challenge… definately a good choice! Two questions: can we eat other types of fish/seafood in phase 1 other than tuna or salad? Cod perhaps? (baked of course) Second question, Are chicken or turkey good to use during phase 1?
@ Carolyn,
All are good for both phases.
I am on day 3 of the Cleanse. I thought I read you can eat steaks but I keep seeing flyers and food lists adnd I do not see that as an option. Is this ok? Should I not have anymore? Thanks!
@ Kali,
We eliminate beef during the cleanse.
i am past my 24day challenge and continuing to stick to my eating habits but i was wondring if steak in the right porportions is ok? i was also seeing where you said tuna in oil but on my grocery sheet it says tuns in water, is that ok or is that bad cause i normally eat it on a salad and as far as dressing i bought organic and use the recommended amout. also i take the Omega, Catalyst, Max3 and i was wondering if there was anything else you would recommend for me?
@ Charlie,
We advise tuna in water. After the cleanse, limited amounts of lean beef would be okay, but not on a daily basis. 🙂
Just because the dressing says organic, doesn’t mean it will help you to continue to lose weight or maintain your loss. Suggest vinegar with small amount of olive oil or Walden Farms dressing for best results.
See our post “after the 24 Days” https://bestnewhometips.com/advocare-after-the-24-days/
Hi -day 2 can i have veggie burgers: black,pinto beans, onions, garlic, oatmeal – for binding, corn ;cooked in little olive oil and then patted down??? Can I have organic whole grain rice cake???
@ Harley,
Try completing the 24 Day before adding veggie burgers.
During cleanse, are bacon or cured meats acceptable?
@ Dave,
No bacon or cured meats.
Can i do the cleanse without the catalyst pills? I dont have those..
@ Alexis,
You can do without the Catalyst, but for best results, we suggest using.
What if we use low sodium chicken stock instead of H2o for making couscous?
Can you eat Chilli on the cleanse?
@ Raleigh,
You can if turkey, beans and low salt tomatoes. No cheese, chips, etc.
Can I drink Pero while on the cleanse? It is a coffee substitute made of barley, and chickory?
@ Julie,
Use Spark!
Can you have almond milk? and sugar free pudding during the cleanse?
Casey,
Stick to the foods recomended on the instruction sheet. No pudding or milk or dairy products.
What about Couscous? Can I eat that as a healthy carb made with stock and no oils?
You could use a small serving as your complex carb. I would avoid using stock which will be high in sodium.
Am I allowed to eat a complex carb once a day during the cleanse phase? The directions list it as an option but I’ve read some of your responses and you say to wait until after the cleanse.
@ Josh, 1 per day is fine. Just use small portion of brown rice, hummus, beans or half sweet potato. No wheat products.
running out of breakfast ideas for the 10 day cleanse…just had fruit and hard boiled egg… is steel cut oats okay? Please give suggestions. Thanks!
@Michelle,
You can use the oats, but for best results, stick with the fruit (and hard boiled eggs if you want)
On Day 11, you will have a change when you add in the meal replacement shakes.
my husband and I just started the 10 day cleanse, can we do the tuna salad up top during the cleanse?
@ Tammie,
Here you go – Tuna and Egg Salad Recipe https://bestnewhometips.com/in-a-pickle/
I have reviewed recipes on Skinny Crockpots website….it appears they would follow advocares meal suggestions as far as chicken/turkey options. i am just looking for a few more recipe options. agree or disagree?
@ Carla,
Lots of ingredients that I saw in quick review do not comply. Pls review the program instructions and grocery guide. https://bestnewhometips.com/program-instructions/
Can I use balsamic vinegar on my salads instead of lemon juice or salsa which I don’t find satisfying?
@ Gen
We avoid balsamic vinegar because of the sugar content.
Hello, I have seen its ok for canola mayo…. But what about olive oil mayo, isn’t that healthier. I looked up the nutrition on both and olive oil looks better.
@ Mike,
Us the canola which is half the fat and half the calories, but just a tiny amount with some mustard mixed in.
Can i have at least one cup of coffee with splenda? what about creamer for my coffee?
@Lilliana,
On the cleanse we avoid some things to get our body primed to accept nutrition. No coffee or dairy. Use Spark and drink water.
I am taking the MNSMAX C… I also have thermoplus, catalysts, carb ease, and fibo trim. I know to add the thermolus with the catalyst, but I am confused where to add in the carb ease and the fibo trim? Thankyou
@ Amanda,
Wait until after the 24 Day, and follow the directions on the bottle. They are not used daily.
Can I have 100% whole wheat bread, pasta or tortillas during the 24 day challenge?
@ Cherina,
None of the above during the cleanse – Phase I. You could use 1 slice of the bread during Phase II as your complex carb of the day.
Hi!! I am currently on day 2 of my 24 day and am highly interested in adding in the catalyst. Do people usually see better results with the catayst? I have read some places to take it 10-15 minutes before a workout an other places to take on an empty stomach- which do you suggest?
@ Lexie,
Catalyst is a great product to add in. I take half hour before breakfast and lunch on empty stomach. You can take before your workout if on empty stomach.
Can you have egg beaters?
@ Cherina,
As long as you are not adding butter or milk, should be okay.
How about vegetarian options? Is tofu an acceptable protein source?
@ Rhonda,
Tofu is an excellent source of protein to use. 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.
I am on Day 2 of the 10 day challenge and I was wondering, can I take the catalyst now or wait till Days 14-24? The other question is if I follow the guide online for the 10 Day, it says take 4-6 probiotic pills at dinner, but the bottle of pills says only 2..what do I do? and if more than 2, how many?
@ Stephanie
Yes, Catalyst should be used on all phases.
@ Stephanie,
Yes, Catalyst is for all Phases. It is 4-6 Omegas, not probiotics. You can take 2 at lunch and 2 at dinner. Just be sure you take them with a meal.
Are beans (whole) and legumes appropriate for the diet?
@ Astrodweeb,
Use 1/2 cup as your complex carb for the day.
hi, can I have tuna with canola mayo on whole wheat tortilla’s during the cleanse?
and what about chicken salad with canola mayo?
thanks
Kat
Please list more meal options for 10 day cleanse. I can’t eat seafood or fish. I’m eating chicken everyday so far…on day 7. My mom is doing the 24 day challenge and likes fish,but is always texting me about what she can eat. Please help! Also, wondering why I gained 1.2lbs. on this cleanse??? Do people ever gain weight on a cleanse? Thx!
@ Christy,
Gaining weight is not usual. You can send us a list of what you have been eating through the CONTACT US link, and we will review. Be sure to list quantities and times of day. Also what you are drinking. Include supplements.
What about fingerling potatoes after 10 day cleanse
@ Kimberly,
Complex carbs once per day after cleanse if neeeded. For best results, use 1/2 sweet potato, half cup brown rice, hummus or other complex carb.
What happens if i eat somthing i shouldent in the first 10 days do i need to restart of can i keep going???
@ Rosa,
Just continue on and try to eat according to plan going forward.
There are only 14 meal replacement shakes in the 24-day bundle. Should I use them for the first phase (cleansing) or second phase (MNS)?
@ Christina,
The shakes are used after the cleanse (2nd phase).
the last 14 days of the challenge can you go back to having dairy and beef?
@ Anna,
Limited dairy like greek yogurt is okay. Lean beef – use sparingly.
Are refrained beans ok if they are fat/salt free?
@ Maegan,
Nothing fried.
They why are half of the Advocare suggested recipes calling for frying Chicken in oil in a pan, or vegies cooking in oil on the pan, do you not consider these fried foods?
Best results are with grilling chicken and steaming veggies. The recipes with PAM in nonstick pan, or tiny amount of olive oil should be fine and have worked for people.
I am just starting out with the 10 day challenge and having a hard time finding enuf meal plans and snack ideas for just this challenge. Every link seems to concentrate on the 24 day. Where can I find a good grocery list and list of meal plans for just the 10 day?
@ Shanna. The 10 day cleanse is Phase I of the 24 Day Challenge, so these items work well. You can download instructions and a grocery guide here https://bestnewhometips.com/program-instructions/
What about raisins during the 10 day cleanse phase?
No dried fruit, Use fresh whole fruit, berries.
I just now received my first cleanse yesterday, & I was wondering is it ok if I take it on an empty stomach?
Please read the directions and follow – they are not the same for every day. https://bestnewhometips.com/program-instructions/
Do I have to eat as much as th emeal plan says if I’m not used to eating that much every day?
@Katy,
You can adjust the amounts.
What about using the post workout recovery formula? Also, what about agave nectar?
Thanks
@ Jude,
Wait until after the 24 Day.
Is pork ok to eat during the 10 day cleanse?
Bridget,
Lean pork only without sauce or marinades, and not fried.
Day 10 of 24 day challenge. I have also purchased liptolean and thermoplus. So now I want to add them to the catalyst and mns3, but I am so confused when to take all of this and in what combination and right times? It seems like a lot of supplements….but I feel great!!!! I have seen all the charts but still can’t quite figure it out. And sometimes it says 1-3 tabs, really would I want to take 3 catalyst, 3 thermoburns…? Any helpful breakdown would be appreciated.
@ Judi,
Take 1 Thermoplus on empty stomach when you take Catalyst. Leptolean once per day, 45 minutes before lunch or dinner.
