Couples Ultimate Reset Before and After

So a month or so again my husband and I decided to do the Ultimate Reset.  I have been trying for a year and a half to do this program!   I've completed it 3 times and really wanted him to 1) support me and 2)  experience it himself.  I've said it before but the Ultimate Reset is by far, my favorite program.  It's 21 days of HEALTHY eating.  I love this program because it really shows me how I'm eating and what my eating habits are.   This past experience showed me that I did too much snacking.  And too much bored eating.  I noticed that whenever I was "bored" I wanted to eat something.  

The reset is done over three weeks.  The first week is easy breezy chicken peasy.  You get lots of food.  Healthy, yummy, delicious meals.   We felt satisfied, happy and healthy by the end of the week.  We both noticed that we were a little tired during this week but it wasn't overbearing.  We were kicking caffine out of our diet so I suppose little energy would be a possibility.

Week two is less easy.  By this week you are completely vegetarian  The food is still good.  My husband, the hunting - meat -eating - man, even said that the food was good and to this day has suggested that we make some of these meals!  The portions you eat with this week are HUGE!  You do not go hungry.  Between the water, full meals, and snack (optional)  it was good.  Oh - this is also detox week.  We were not tied to the bathroom and everything turned out perfectly.

Week three is the hardest week.  It's also the week I like to call, "sides."  Everything, every meal from this group, could be a side. Now, the food is good but this stage also has you eating very little protein.  Mike and I both noticed that our bodies craved it!  Mike more so than me.  I didn't think it was too bad but it was by far the worst week for him.  This is also the stage where I felt GREAT.  By this point, I felt like my mood had stabilized, my sleep was fantastic, my energy was up and I just felt plain good. 

By the end, Mike and I had both done amazing.  He lost 15 lbs, lowered his blood pressure and had improved mood.  I lost 20 lbs, slept better and also had improved mood.  I wasn't bloated and felt so good.  It's amazing how food affects our body.  It really truly is.  I mean, you eat like crap, you feel like crap.  Fuel your body right, it's the only one you've got!

Here are our physical results!
