Advocare Nutrition Friends,
If you are doing the 10-day Advocare Cleanse program or coaching others who are, these tips & perspectives might be helpful...
- The first 3 days will determine the rest of your cleanse... those who start strong will finish strong...
- "Variety is the spice of gluttony"; I heard that from a raw food guru awhile back, makes the point to enjoy simple and clean nutrition...
- I'm concerned for people who feel like they need "recipes"... (boy would they be in trouble if they were ever stuck in the woods for a couple days)...
- For 10 days, the challenge is to not be entertained by food; just eat what's on the list and be OK with it (meat, veggies, fruit, nuts/seeds, oats/rice/beans)...
- Pretend you're a caveman/cavewoman for a period of time; eat simply and thankfully for the nourishment you're able to aquire - a piece of fruit is a beautiful thing when it's given your attention and isn't surrounded by a bunch of other stuff...
- There is something magical about sacrificing or "going without" IF you start the process strong and break through to the point of enjoying the sacrifice versus feeling like you're sacrificing...
- But I understand we have a life to live... if I have a lunch appointment at Chipotle... it's OK... I'll order a burrito in a bowl with rice, beans, chicken, pico, lettuce (maybe guacamole)... notice there is NO wheat tortilla, NO sour cream, NO cheese... you can comply with the cleanse regimen ANYWHERE with a little desire and creativity...
- OK so if you want another fun idea then make some chilli...
(no cheese or crackers though)...
- My most productive and inspired times often happen during a cleanse, and I hope the same for you too... let this 10 days be a jumpstart to a better you...
- One discipline typically fuels other disciplines... consider reading a new book when you start your cleanse... what discipline can you add for the next 10 days that may open doors in life that might currently be closed?...
We look forward to hearing your cleanse SUCCESS STORY!
P.S. -
