Can you do advocare 24 day challenge while nursing

So it’s been 7 months since I did my last Advocare 24 Day Challenge, and I’m getting ready to do another on September 5th.  This time I am teaming up with fellow bloggers Samantha from YOUNG FAMILY OLD HOUSE and Jenny from JENNYCOLLIER.COM to host a group challenge.  Both of these ladies had amazing results on their first challenges and are ready to give it another go!

We are inviting YOU to join us too!  Not only will the three of us be there doing it along side you, but we are setting up a private Facebook Group for all the Challengers.  We will be there to answer all your questions, share clean recipes ideas and meal plans, give workout tips, and most importantly be there for encouragement and support.

You are probably wondering why I am doing another one when I have already reached my goal weight.  That is the amazing thing about these products….they are good for you!!  Whether you want to lose weight, up your energy, clean your system, tone up and see definition, or just improve your overall health and fitness, you will achieve that during the Challenge.

Also, husbands….although they may not be reading my blog, get them to do it with you!  Greg and I really enjoyed working together, trying new meals, taking our supplements, and finding time to exercise together.   It was actually Jenny’s husband’s photo that initially sparked my interest.  He did his first challenge and had such great results that Jenny gave it a try shortly after and lost 8% body fat and was able to get back into her skinny jeans after having two babies.  They are the reason I started Advocare and I think I thank her every time I talk to her for sharing their experience.

Samantha also had awesome results, but is ready to take things to the next level as well on her second challenge.  She’s recently taken up running too so I know the combination of the two is going to be amazing.  She is a mama of 2 little boys the same age as Nathan and Shane and I’m excited to see what happens since she already looks so fantastic.

Here is a quick breakdown of what to expect during the course of the 24 days.

Each 24-Day Challenge bundle includes:

  • One box of Herbal Cleanse – Citrus
  • One bottle of OmegaPlex®
  • One box of AdvoCare Spark® - Mandarin Orange
  • One box of AdvoCare Spark® – Fruit Punch
  • Your choice of one box of Meal Replacement Shakes – Chocolate Mocha, Chocolate, Vanilla, Berry or Vegetarian Dark Chocolate
  • Your choice of one box of MNS® Max 3, C, or E

The Challenge is broken into two phases.  The Cleanse Phase (days 1-10) and the Max Phase (days 11-24)

The Cleanse Phase is designed to help rid your body of toxins and prepare your body to better absorb nutrients. This isn’t the kind of cleanse where you drastically reduce calories or consume only liquids.  You get to eat, and quite often too!  During the Cleanse Phase you will use the Herbal Cleanse Kit, Spark and Omegaplex.  NO alcohol, coffee or dairy are to be consumed during the 10-Day Cleanse, but you will be able to eat 3 clean meals a day and 2 clean snacks.   Average weight loss during the cleanse is 5-10 pounds.

The Max Phase is about fueling your body in order to achieve maximum results.  You’ll use the MNS Kit, Spark and the Meal Replacement Shakes during the Max Phase.  You’ll continue eating clean meals and snacks, but the guidelines loosen up a bit.  MNS stands for Metabolic Nutrition System and you can select from the following packs when you buy your kit:
MNS E -  Geared towards keeping your energy up and revving your metabolism as you continue to lose weight.
MNS 3-   Geared towards overall wellness, energy, and appetite control.
MNS C-   Geared towards maximum appetite control.

The MNS Max 3 is what I recommend for receiving the best overall results, especially if you are looking primarily at weight loss.  The overall weight loss you can expect on average falls between 10-15 lbs total in 24 days!

The system alone will work wonders.  Pair it with some exercise and be prepared for even more amazing results.  Do a quick Google image search of real before/after photos and I think you will be blown away.

Do you remember this photo?  These were my results just 14 days in!

Can you do advocare while breastfeeding?

It can be used by pregnant and nursing women since very little is absorbed.

What can Breastfeeding moms take for energy?

Add lean meat, fish, milk, cheese, nuts, seeds and legumes to your daily diet to increase your intake of protein. Foods high in fiber can also boost your energy because they digest more slowly than foods low in fiber. Whole-wheat bread and pasta, brown rice and fruits and vegetables are good sources of fiber.

How much energy does it take to nurse?

Producing breast milk consumes 25% of the body's energy; the brain only uses 20% by comparison. Almost 75% of all moms produce more milk in their right breast, whether they are right- or left- handed.

What should nursing moms drink?

It is helpful to drink an 8-ounce glass of water, juice, or milk at each meal and every time you breastfeed. Some mothers find that having something warm to drink helps them relax and triggers the letdown reflex.
