My 24 Day Challenge Shopping List
If you've been with me for a while now, you can tell how over the moon I am about AdvoCare. In all honesty, their products have changed my life and have helped me tremendously on my weight loss journey so far. There are actually several different ways to start on product but the most popular would be the 24 day challenge.
Prepping for your upcoming 24 Day Challenge in my opinion is the KEY to ensuring you have great results! I'm sure everyone here has heard the old, "failing to plan is planning to fail" and it honestly is the truth. Making a positive lifestyle change is more than just saying you are going to eat better or trying to walk more. It is going to take some effort on your part to plan out your days and get up and get moving.
I like to begin prepping for my challenge by making a list of the items I will need to be successful. In addition to the 24 Day Challenge Bundle you will need to make meal prepping as easy as possible. By making simple but delicious recipes you can stay on track and you won't be tempted to eat out or snack on junk.
Tip 1: Plan on avoiding most of the store.
You're not going to need any of those junky snacks you may be used to. Think of it like this, if it doesn't grow like that, you don't need it. Although those 100 calorie snack packs seem tempting and convenient. They're actually packed with a bunch of processed nastiness. It is better to avoid processed snacks all together.
Tip 2: Fresh over frozen
Although frozen veggies may seem easier, you will loose valuable vitamins and nutrients your body needs. By using fresh veggies and cooking them in large batches at the beginning of your week, you will save time and ensure none of your veggies go bad.
Tip 3: Keep it simple
Do not make this harder than it really is. Pick 2 or 3 recipes you are going to try first and then mix and match veggies so you do no get bored of the same thing every day.
