This is a great video of how to NOT make your SPARK, Meal Replacement and Fiber drinks! I found this amusing, but also extremely helpful! The Fiber Drink has psyllium in it, and if you don't know what that is, it basically gelatinizes your drink in a very short period of time. I went through a protein smoothie phase at one time, and they called for psyllium fiber, and the smoothies were very thick! Now I know why!
The great part about the Cleanse Phase is that you only do the Fiber Drink on Days 1, 2, 3, and 8, 9, 10. I can deal with that! Mixing your Fiber Drink with 6oz. water and 2oz. orange juice is the best way to use the product!
The Cleanse Phase is used to help clear the toxins out of your body, while improving your digestive system and clearing out impurities. Here are the 3 Herbal Cleanse products you use in the first 10 Days and what their purpose is:
ProBiotic Restore™ ULTRA: Probiotics are beneficial microorganisms that confer health benefits on the host. Our bodies must maintain a healthy balance of beneficial bacteria and harmful bacteria to work at its best. When this balance is disturbed, it can have significant negative effects on our health. ProBiotic Restore ULTRA contains a superior multi-strain probiotic complex that provides four billion colony forming units (CFU) of freeze dried friendly bacteria to support your body's overall health by main-taining the normal, healthy balance of microorganisms your body needs.* This probiotic complex with six high potency strains - three species of Lactobacillus and three species of Bifidobacterium ensures full coverage of both the small and large intestines. ProBiotic Restore ULTRA helps strengthen and support our immune system, supports intestinal health and function, aids in digestion and enhances your weight loss program.*
Take on days four through 10.
Fiber Drink:: Fiber Drink is rich in the mixture of fibers your body needs to work at its best.* Each serving contains 10 grams of soluble and insoluble dietary fiber to help add the fiber your diet may not provide. As part of the Herbal Cleanse system, Fiber Drink also helps move the toxins and waste material through the digestive tract while scouring your intestinal tract to support improved nutrient absorption.* Take on days one through three and again on days eight through 10.
Herbal Cleanse Tablet: The Herbal Cleanse tablet provides herbal extracts that help rid your body of the impurities that may be obstacles to achieving better health.* One ingredient, senna leaf extract, is known for its use to relieve occasional constipation, as well as to encourage the movement of waste through the intestinal tract.* Beet root powder and wheat grass juice are included to aid in the reduction of metabolic by-products in the blood and liver.* Cranberry juice powder helps cleanse impurities from the kidneys and aid in excretion through the bladder.* The Herbal Cleanse tablet also contains milk thistle extract, which has the active component silymarin. Silymarin has been traditionally used to aid in eliminating toxins from the liver and is also an excellent hepaprotectant and antioxidant.* Echinacea, astragalus, garlic, zinc and vitamin C help support the immune system.* Herbal Cleanse tablets also contain a wide range of B-vitamins to help maintain energy levels during the detoxification period.* Take on days one through seven.

Overall Thoughts: I need to thank my sister-in-law for helping me continue to make the "good choice" at Red Robin! The devil was definitely in my ear telling me to get the fries and the greasy burger! Crystal even helped me stay strong at the movie afterwards when walking in and smelling the delicious popcorn! None for me! Cravings will always be there, but you know what? So will your good friends and family to keep you strong! No matter what your challenge, let it be weight loss, stress at work, financial issues, etc., as long as you have a great support system around you, you can conquer!
