9 years ago, this Summer, I "rediscovered" my passion for physical movement through the Pilates method of physical fitness. recently, I downloaded a free iPhone app that had the Joseph Pilates book RETURN TO LIFE. I've read the pamphlet-style book probably over 2 dozen times, and couldn't help but read it again on my phone, and took notice of Joe's take on nutrition:
"The principal point to remember with regard to diet is to eat only enough food to restore the "fuel" consumed by the body to keep enought of it on hand at all times to furnish the extra energy required on occasions beyond our norml needs and to meet unexpected emergencies. Merely eating to satifiy one's lust for good food is both foolish and dangerous to one's health."
Strong words, but true. "Such a person cannot ever be truly physically fit. No Wonder! Youth and growing children quite naturlly require a greater intake of food than do adults and the aged. The former are matering; the later have matured." Even truer. I cannot and should not eat like I did was a busy teenager, in dance classes and walking a mile home from school each day.
"Heavy eating followed immediately by sitting, or even lying down awake or asleep, is comparable to over-loading the firebox with coal and then closing the drafts of the furnace. The former instance is ideal for generating "poisons" that eventually find their way into your bloodstream. The latter instance is ideal if your aim is to maintain a smoldering fire without adequate heat instead of a bright, glowing fire to radiate comforting warmth throughout your house."
I believe the same holds true to our bodies. Unless with want our body to be a fat storing machine instead of a fat burning machine, we need to "fuel" for our activity level. If we happen to follow the calories in vs calories out method, consuming protein in each meal, drink lots of water, then we are going to be a a muscle building machine and not a muscle eating machine. A properly "fueled" body results in great energy, sustained energy, and a stronger, fitter, healthier body.

One Great Cleanse, Many Great Outcomes. . .no pun intended
I wrapped up my 6th the AdvoCare Herbal Cleanse Pack. I love this Metabolic Cleansing System because it works; you eat food and it promotes a strong metabolism to give you great results. It is a healthy, effective and gentle cleanse for every body. It is very easy to do with minimal evasion in your routine. No one but you will know you are on a "cleanse" unless you are really bragging about it, or losing weight enough were people see a difference in your body composition and notice your energy level soar. When you combine the cleanse with SPARK, Catalyst, OmegaPlex and Meal Replacement Shakes for breakfast, you will result a reduction of body fat & waste weight loss, as well as added protection for your lean muscle mass.
I did my first cleanse Feb. '10. I lost 4lbs in the first 6 days, WOW!!! Right now, I am 18lbs lighter, have amazing energy and went from a size 10 to a size 5. I'm in the best shape and have been the healthiest I have ever been in all of my life and it all started with this 10 day program and, of course, a SPARK!
The Herbal Cleanse box has 3 components, well actually 4. Inside the box are Fiber Drink packets (6), ProBiotic restore Ultra packets (7), and Herbal Cleanse Tablet packets (7). The 4th is the FACT you get to eat...real good clean food and supplement with the best Omega-3 fatty acids your body needs, but can only get from a food supply rich in these important "good" fats that flush out our "bad" fats and toxins. You'll see when you should add those in when we talk about small, frequent meals.
Start with waking up to an 8 or 9oz SPARK and 3-6 Catalyst. SPARK will supply you with up to 5 hours of great energy, is sugar-free, no crash and protein building blocks known as "amino acids" that fuel your muscles for energy. Catalyst is additional amino acids that build lean muscle. Want muscle? Use Catalyst! The Fiber Drink pouch mixes well with 9-10oz water. After you mix it thoroughly, immediately chug it down. I love the Peaches & Cream, but the Citrus is great as well. Both have great properties for a good scrubbing so ask me about the one may be right for you or for your taste preferences. Drink lots of water! You're going to not want, but HAVE to eat 5-6 small meals a day. This is not a problem for me because I love to eat and love the chocolate Meal Replacement Shakes for breakfast (24 grams Protein, 24 grams Complex Carb, 50% daily vitamins, 26 vitamins and minerals...they taste amazing). Take in 4-6 OmegaPlex capsules with a meal of your choice.
I feel so great when I’m on this cleanse system. I think it's because I know I'm pushing out years of bad habits building up in my body that are getting flushed out and my body is better able to absorb nutrients from the good food I put into my body. My skin looks great and I feel great; I am more positive and have great energy and will power. I love having control over my nutrition and make better choices. Use Spark instead of your morning coffee and afternoon soda or Starbucks fix. Drink lots of water all day long! At the end of the day, you take the Herbal Cleanse Tablet packet.
This simple regimen is followed for days 1-3. On day 4, you take a break from the Fiber Drinks, and add back in your good bacteria with ProBiotic Restore Ultra. (Dr. Mark Miller explained in Columbus, OH at the Spring Breakthrough conference that there is 10lbs of bacteria in our digestive system. If that's all bad bacteria, our body can not function or perform properly.) AdvoCare's ProBiotic Restore Ultra have 6 Billion good, healthy bacteria and are cocooned so they do not get killed off in our stomach acids, don't need to be refrigerated and smell fresh, too. These good bacteria are the ones responsible for pushing out toxins that weaken our immune system and help maximize nutrient absorption in our colon. I continue to take these after the cleanse to keep me healthy. So far so good since Feb. '10.
Continue the morning Probiotic and evening Herbal Cleanse Tablets until day 7. Then you return to the Fiber Drink and Probiotic in the morning for the last 3 days.
Avoid these 4 things:
BREAD
POTATO
PASTA
RICE
and you will lose even more weight, feel great and have amazing energy after the 10 days. Try legume, beans, lean meats, nuts, veggies and fruit for your fuel during the 10 days, staying away from the obvious fried foods, butter, dairy, coffee and alcohol, too. As I mentioned, drink lots & lots of water! I have guides, grocery lists, and give you 100% support and accountability that when you order your cleanse bundle through me and my family's website. If you are serious about changing your lifestyle, trimming off body fat and feeling great every day, you will answer my call and talk with me on Days 1, 3 7 & 10 so I can follow up, answer your questions and give you more help if you need it.
Every person who has used the products correctly ate 5-6 small meals, drank water and Spark to get wonderful results. Who doesn't love to eat, feel great and drop a few pounds that hold us back from the energy and body we want to have. Check in with me so I can set up the bundle that's right for you. You have choices. I chose to do cleanse every 90 days and each time feel better, look better and have more energy. Let's do this right now!
