Howdy,
Well as expected, the cleanse has begun. Good news is that there is no abdomnial pain, except from last week's WOD, and I am not running to the bathroom every five minutes. Thank you Advocare...

Advocare Herbal Cleanse Review Day 1
Howdy,
For some time now I have wanted to try Advocare's Herbal Cleanse to see how much of an effect it would have on my performance and workouts. Well that day has come. The whole packet consists of a Fiber mix, herbal cleanse, and prebiotic replenishing pills to get you back on track after 7 days. Well after the first day it is a OK, the fiber mix is actually really tasty and has a consitency of what is left after you finish a bowl of frosted mini wheats, but with an orange flavor. The herbal cleanse is three pills that are easy to swallow and you take them at night. Since this is the beginning there is not too much to gab about, but will keep it coming throughout the week. The goal of this is to maximize the amount of absorption with SPARK! and catalyst. Well will see how this plays out. Until then.

Is that a free range chicken in your pocket...?
Howdy,
I just came across this article about the differences between eggs and all of thier attributes. I posted the link below for those of you that are interested in reading the entire story or wanted to check the sources. Here is a quick review.
Myth: Brown eggs are different than white.
Fact: The only difference between a brown and white egg is the color of the shell, which is merely a reflection of the breed of the hen. In general, but not always, hens with white feathers and earlobes lay white eggs and those with dark feathers and red earlobes lay brown eggs.
One isn’t healthier, more “natural,” or more eco-friendly than the other. There aren’t any differences in nutritional quality, flavor, or cooking characteristics.
Myth: Free-range eggs come from hens that roam freely outdoors.
Fact: The claims are not regulated for eggs, according to Consumer Reports. So there is no guarantee that the hen that laid the eggs ever saw the light of day. Of course, it may have spent time outdoors, but the “free range” label doesn’t mean anything. The following labels are also meaningless when it comes to eggs: “free roaming,” “hormone free,” and “raised without antibiotics.”
Myth: Organic eggs are healthier.
Fact: They certainly can be, but it all depends on the chicken’s diet. Organic eggs come from hens that are fed a 100-percent organic diet. However, what really matters when it comes to nutrition is whether the hens were raised on pasture. Studies, such as those conducted at Penn State University and by Mother Earth News, found that eggs from chickens that ate grass and insects contained higher levels of omega-3 fat, and vitamins E, A, and in some cases D.
If you want eggs from hens that are raised on pasture or spend a lot of time outdoors, then you’ll have to find a farmer you trust at your local farmers’ market.
Myth: Egg substitutes are simply eggs (or egg whites) without the shells.
Fact: Most products have added stabilizers, thickeners, vitamins, carotenes, and, sometimes, spices, according to Marion Nestle, author of What to Eat. She also points out that they cost about twice as much as real eggs. (A pound of egg substitutes weighs slightly less than a dozen small eggs.)
Of course, if you can’t eat egg yolks for health reasons or have no use for them, egg substitutes are a good option, and most products only have a tiny percentage of additives. Just read the labels before buying.
