Happy Thanksgiving!

"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them."

-John Fitzgerald Kennedy

To Our AdvoCare Customers

As a valued Advocare customer we want to show you how to enjoy the Holiday's without the average American's December results! You can enjoy yourself, the parties and the food and stay full of energy, calm and not have to gain unwanted weight.

Here are two ways to learn how:

1) If you are local we will have a Healthy Holiday Brunch/Presentation on Saturday, Dec. 17th @ 10:30 am in O'Fallon, MO

2) Call your Advocare coach and ask to have a Healthy Holiday presentation for just you or you and your friends at your home. We spend more in December than any other month of the year. Giving the gift of health to others is something they both want and need - it is perfect. The top discount in Advocare is 40% for customers - we can help you achieve that with a presentation and once you have it, it's yours forever no matter how often you choose to order.

Healthy tips:

1 - Never arrive hungry for a party. Have a Meal Replacement shake or Muscle Gain shake in the car on the way there.

2. Try to limit Alcohol - Alcohol is 7 calories per gram while carbs and protein are only 4! The average alcoholic drink has 150 to 200 calories in it! With eggnog up to 450 calories! That is 25% of what an average women should have for the entire day. Alcohol also lowers inhibition, which makes it harder to resist the buffet.

3. Avoid Holiday coffee drinks! A 16 ounce Peppermint Mocha has 470 calories, Pumpkin Spice Latte has 410 and Gingersnap is 370! If you feel the need turn to Advocares Coffeechino or new Mocha Mint energy drinks! They are 80 calories, filled with nutrition and taste great!

4. Dont Rush your meal - it take about 20 minutes for the stomach to signal the brain that you are full. Eat slowly, really taste your food and enjoy the company of your family and friends:) If you want extra damage control use Advocare's Fiber and fat blocker Fibo Trim. The fibers expand in your stomach grabbing saturated fat to make it not be able to absorb and giving you a feeling a fullness! Advocare's CarbEase will slow the breakdown of carbs entering into your blood vessels so the body doesnt trigger as fast of an insulin response. Less insulin means less storing of fat!

5. Dont starve yourself! Never decide not to eat because you know you are going to be eating bad food later that day at a party! Your blood sugar level needs to be stable ALL day to not gain weight. If you are going to cheat, eat right the rest of the day (every 3 hours with protein and a healthy fat) and then enjoy the evening. Adding Advocare's ThermoPlus throughout the day will require the body to burn about 150 calories per capsule as it breakdown in your intestinal track. This leaves a little cheat room without engaging the treadmill:) If you need lots of cheat room take Thermo Plus AND hit the treadmill!

6. Journal your food to see what you are really putting in your mouth. When you see what is really slipping into your mouth throughout the day you will be amazing at how the little things add up. Research shows that people who keep a food diary consume 15% less food than those who don't. hmmmm
