I was a two a day Dr Pepper drinker for years. I LOVED it. But I think what i loved was the caffeine. When i was in my mid 30s my metabolism came to a screeching halt and i gained about 20 pounds pretty quickly. That's when i switched to diet Dr Pepper assuming that would help me shed those pounds i was packing on from drinking so much soda. I continued drinking Diet for about the next 8 years. But i always felt bad. Physically bad--- tired all the time, would get a physical crash in the afternoon and my muscles were starting to ache all the time. I was beginning to believe i was getting aspartame poisoning, and i still wasn't losing weight. Then I was turned on to Spark from Advocare---
Spark comes in indivdual packets, large canisters or in the skinny Spark to Go packets as in the pictuure. There are lots of flavors-- mango strawberry, green apple, grape, watermelon and fruit punch just to name a few. Since i started spark i no longr get that afternoon physical crash, but i still get the energy. Spark is AMAZING!! I stopped drinking soda about 2 months ago. And i am now within 5 pounds of my ideal weight. If you want to try some spark and see what it can do for you-- come check it out. www.advovare.com/140261313 and then search for Spark.
If you'd like a free sample, message me and i'll send you one. I want everyone to learn what i've learned. Get Spark and get some pep back in your step!
Great job on the weight loss. I am glad you found a product to helps you with stopping the soda and not having the afternoon crash.
ReplyDeleteMy own experiences with soda mirror yours. I never lost any weight, even when drinking only diet. The mango strawberry sounds like an interesting flavor.
ReplyDeletethe mango strawberry is amazing! its actualy many people's favorite choice-- I can send you a free sample if you'd like..
DeleteAre these energy bars or flavor packets for water? I'm really proud of you for making an effort to live healthier! It's not easy giving up soda- I am hooked on coffee with a lot of sugar and would love to cut back.
ReplyDeleteahh... very good question! I didn't clarify! They are flavor packets... only 45 calories...
DeleteI have never heard of Spark, but I would like to try. Amber N
ReplyDeleteI would gladly mail you a sample
DeleteI love Spark. I have tried it and it replaced my coffees for a whole month. :-) Thanks for the info
ReplyDeleteI love doctor pepper, but hate the caffein. I have a caffein sensitivity, so if I have too much I get sick.
ReplyDeleteI have a huge problem with being addicted to Diet Pepsi.. if I don't have it, I get HUGE headaches. I am always looking for an alternative to help me get away from it, because I feel those same feelings and my metabolism is going down hill. Maybe this would be something to consider, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI never had any withdrawal headaches when I switched. I was a little worried about that.
DeleteI think I need this. We have a lot of dishes here in PH that will make you crave for soda. I sometimes can't eat with just water and need a flavored-drink. I'll try to look for this product here.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the weight loss and not drinking pop. I have never heard of the Spark drink before. It sounds like something I would be interesting in trying. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI need to cut my bad habit of drinking coke instead of water I'm addicted to it and I dont even drink the diet just the full sugary thing >.<
ReplyDeleteMy husband likes flavor packets. I bet he'd like the Spark!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great product! We will definitely have to give Spark a try.
ReplyDeleteYou can never be too healthy. Thanks for the reminder to watch my diet more carefully.
ReplyDeleteNice one ! Havent seen this herie in malaysia but would love to try too
ReplyDeleteNever heard or seen sparks here, I'm intrigued about the effects. I'm on search for a safe weight lose supplement because I gained weight from two months bed rest.
ReplyDeleteOh Kath, I highly recommend the advocare products. I jump started my journey with the 24 day challenge and lost 9 pounds in those 25 days. And now use their omegaplex for a superior fish oil with no burps! I would love to answer any questions you might have. Or check out all the products at www.advocare.com/140261313
DeleteMy husband too is addicted to Dr. Pepper and drinks it way to much. He gets migraines and looks to caffeine to help with that. We will check this product out.
ReplyDeleteI love drinking soda everyday. I know it is not good for me but I am addicted to the fizz and bubbles of a new can of Coke. Thanks for sharing about this product.
ReplyDeleteI drink soda every now and then. I bet I'd feel and look better if I completely stopped. Can you carbonate this drink?
ReplyDeleteHmmm.... I never thought of that. I'm not sure, but its something I might need to look into because I do miss the fizz of soda
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your weight loss. Spark is a great product, I have used it.
ReplyDeleteAccording to a trainer Diet Soda's is equally bad because while they take out the sugar they compensate it with salt and aspertane.
ReplyDeleteAspartame is horrible!!! It can severely change your chemical make-up. Congrats on your weight loss!
ReplyDeleteI too,would like a sample if you have any left....thank you for the offer!

ReplyDeletewow that's so nice that you found a product that's suiting you completely and is solving your weight loss issues successfully.. congratulations.. this sounds good..
ReplyDeleteI never really knew what Spark was, but it actually sounds pretty cool. I'm so glad it works for you!
ReplyDeleteI also stopped drinking soda years ago. I'm going to look for Spark in my area. I like that you ca take packets with you while traveling.
