3 day refresh, results

I don't know about you, but I ate through the holidays.  There was no stopping me.  I wanted, I ate, I enjoyed and now I regret.  Such is life though right?  So I figured, why not end my horrible eating and get back on track with the 3 Day Refresh.  This is the second round I've done.  My first round was alright but I wanted to do at least two rounds before I blogged about it.

So, What is it?
The 3 day refresh has been designed to to cleanse your body, help you reenergize and get back on track all while keeping your metabolism from crashing.    Unlike tradition cleanses, the 3 day refresh gives your body the nutrients it needs.  The basic idea for this was to help people who have veered off the healthy eating course.  It happens right, a little extra here, a little extra there, and the next thing you know your feeling bloated and your clothes are tight. Since it was post holiday and my clothes were rather uncomfortable I had to give it a go. 

Whats in it?
The package comes with 2 options - with shakeology or without (for those who already use it.)  It also comes with 3 packets of fiber.  I was hesitant to drink this at first but honestly, it wasn't too bad.  It was lemony but had an odd texture.  I drank it quickly!  In addition, you will recieve 6 packets of Vanilla Fresh.  This is your protein.  You drink this twice a day.  Finally, a booklet including instructions, lists of approved foods, and recipes.   It has everything you need.

For my starting weight I was shocked.  I hadn't stepped on a scale in months so this was...not what I wanted to see.   I was uncomfortable and bloated.   I knew I had let thins slip but this... depressing. I hate even typing about it.  Makes you feel like a failure you know?  Anyways - best way to get back on track was to clean out the guts and get back on track.

 Dat 1 - here's the thing with the food.  You get PLENTY of options.  Choose wisely.  This first day I found ok.  I was hungry and really craving something chocolaty and full of  carbs.  I stuck with the plan:

 Breakfast - shakeology - chocolate with an apple
Mid morning - fiber shake
Lunch - Vanilla Fresh, 2 clemintines, green beans cooked in a teaspoon of olive oil
Afternoon - 1.5 tsp peanut butter, carrots
Dinner - Vanilla Fresh, Stir Fry cooked in 1 tsp olive oil
Dat 2 - a 3.8 lb weight loss was a great beginning.  Already I was feeling less bloated and more comfortable.   However, I was finding myself extremely cranky and couldn't figure out for the life of me, why I was having such cravings.  I mean, I've done and succeeded with the Ultimate Reset - why is this 3 day thing so hard!  Never the less, I stuck with it.  My meal plan stayed very much the same.  It was just easier to have everything pre cooked and ready to go so I pre cooked everything on day 1. 


Day 3 - only a .4 loss but better than nothing.  The lady beast showed up which is explains my ravenous cravings for all things carb.  Once again, I stuck it out.  My mantra was "It's only 3 days."  It really wasn't that bad - I think I would have had an easier time if the beast wouldn't have showed up.  By this time I was tired of stir fry for dinner and was thankful I only had one more day of it!   My final results?
5.6 lbs!  In 3 days.  I was please with the results and happy I did the program.  With the loss of these 5 lbs I felt better.  I know I have a long way to go - but to be able to not feel so uncomfortable was fantastic.  It was a good boost and perfect for getting back on track.  :)

Who is it for?
Anyone!  This is a great program to get back on track, lose those last few stubborn pounds or start!  This program is also good for anyone who has an important event such as a wedding or party.  This is NOT a long term diet plan.  It's a 3 day refresh.  Wake your body up, start over in a new, healthy way.
