What is the 3-Day Refresh?

I've done the 3-Day Refresh a few times and really love how it helps get me back on track, gets rid of the excess bloat and helps me feel "refreshed" and more energized!  It's totally safe to do this once a month for just a little "mini" cleanse.  

So what is the 3 Day Refresh? The Refresh is a Team Beachbody Product that is meant to be a healthy alternative to cleanses that are on the market that really don't contain nutritional value.  For example, the juice cleanses, the various fasts, extreme cleanses, they really aren't the best option for you.  The Research and Development team really wanted to create a product that gives an alternative to these cleanses that will provide proper nutrition and was safe and effective at helping you with rapid weight loss!

3-Day Refresh + 30 Days of Shakeology and Clean Eating

What comes with the Refresh Kit?  With the basic Refresh kit you get 3 Shakeology packets, 3 packets of the Fiber Sweep, 6 packets of the Vanilla Refresh, a nutritional guide and program manual.

How do you do the Refresh?  You drink a Shakeology Shake for breakfast with a serving of fruit from the book.  You get to have the Fiber Sweep as your mid-morning snack and water.  At lunch you'll have the Vanilla Refresh Shake with a serving of veggies, fruit and good fat.  For Dinner the Vanilla Fresh Shake with a meal choice from the nutritional booklet!!  You can drink green tea and water but avoid all processed foods, canned fruits and veggies, sweeteners and dairy.  You are truly cutting back to the basic to cut the bloating and help you lose weight!!

Then from there we will head straight into learning how to keep your success of the 3 Day Refresh and start clean eating and drinking Shakeology every day for 30 days!  Workout is optional and suggested during these 30 days.  Even getting out there and doing 20-30 minutes of walking would be great!!

3-Day Refresh Results

3 Day Refresh Woman's Transformation and Results

I just finished the 3 Day Refresh and it really was more than just 3 days of a "mini cleanse".  For me it was the start of something much greater than that.  (You can find my entire story here). It was a chance for me to start the month of April with a clean slate.  A fresh and renewed mindset.  One that got rid of negativity and the "I can't" talk.  It allowed me to really recharge and refocus my mind on my goals, for my body and my everyday life!

Now, I'll probably never be one of those 6-Pack Ab coaches (although I would love to be)...but, my goal in completing this is that it has reshaped my mind into a fresh start of remembering I am worth it and that my goals I set for myself CAN be reached...I want to lean out more and allow my muscles to come through more...and guess what...that's possible!

But my nutrition was something keeping me from reaching that goal of truly leaning out the way I want!  Now, I'm focused more than ever.  It's down to the last few months before summer and I know I'll be out at the beach and pool a LOT!

My Results with the 3-Day Refresh:   

• I lost 3 pounds and 4 inches
• I decreased my cravings
• I lost my bloated feeling
• I feel renewed and able to start fresh
• I gained new focus to continue to reach my goals!
• It reminded me that I can be laser focused and stick to my meal plan!
• Mentally, it got me back into a positive thinking place, where I'm not destroying myself with negativity!

Now, I'm ready to move forward into following the 21 Day Fix Extreme meal plan combined with the 21 DFE Countdown to Competition meal plan!!  Here's my menu that I'll be keeping for the rest of the week and probably flow into next week too!

If you'd like to have a fresh start and do the 3 Day Refresh, I will be starting a 3 Day Refresh & 30 Days of Shakeology and Clean Eating accountability group to help you get back on track after Easter!  I know some of us may need a refocus after the Easter Candy...Join me in taking a fresh start to your month!  If you're interested please fill out the information below!

3 Day Refresh Women's Update, Results and Review

The 3 Day Refresh has been out for a number of months now, and I hadn't yet tried it!  I've done the Ultimate Reset (you can see my reviews here), but had just never tried the 3 Day Refresh...Check out the full details of what the 3 Day Refresh is HERE!

So, I decided the 3 days before Thanksgiving that I would give myself an extra little boost of motivation before the temptations of Thanksgiving came upon me!

3 Day Refresh Results

I was mentally prepared to start, and I was busy on this day so it helped me not to focus on the smaller amount of food.

Here's the menu each day:

1)  Upon Waking - 8-10 ounces of water

2)  Breakfast - Shakeology shake mixed with water + 1 serving of Fruit  

     • Morning Tea - herbal or green tea (YES I had this) 

3)  Mid-Morning - Fiber Sweep (drink you mix with 8 oz of water)...surprisingly not too bad. 

4)  Lunch - Vanilla Fresh Shake (love this shake) + 1 serving of Fruit + 1 serving of Veggies + 1 serving of Healthy Fats 

5)  Afternoon Snack - 1 serving of Veggies + 1 serving of Healthy Fats 

    •  Afternoon Tea - herbal tea (optional) 

6)  Dinner - Vanilla Fresh Shake mixed with water +1 serving from Dinner Recipes (recipes provided) + optional 1 cup of organic vegetable broth.  

**The vegetable broth was SOO needed for me.  It tasted delicious and the first night I was so hungry that I actually had 2 cups of it!!

Day 1

I did get up and do a Piyo workout before I started the day...it wasn't too strenuous because I knew I wouldn't have a ton of calories.  Since you can't have coffee on this because it is a mini-detox and so that defeats the purpose.  So I did have some hot tea which helped me not to get raging headaches.  Day 1, I did have a bit of a headache but it wasn't unbearable.  I was hungry but not so much during the day, I made sure to drink lots of water.  The hardest was eating with my family because I had to make their meals and I had smaller meals and theirs smelled so good!  I was however very hungry at night.  I definitely wish the dinner was a bit larger.  I had some more herbal tea after dinner/ before bed because I was just really hungry then.  The strange thing was on the first day I was SO extremely tired.  I fell asleep on the couch while my family was watching a movie, like at 8pm...slept through the whole movie and went straight up to bed and slept all night!  That was odd!

Day 2

Doing something on the 2nd day is always easier because you know what to expect.  I was feeling better, I really didn't have too many times of being super hungry, but I kept up with my fluids like crazy!!  I'm telling you...that really helps!  Again my dinner was small, but very tasty.  I had the Stir-fry, which I do love!  I really like all the food on the program.  It's just a small amount...that's the only problem!  I am feeling a lot better and less bloated on day 2 which is awesome!!  Again, I worked out to Piyo, keeping it low impact and a light workout!  I had so much more energy on Day 2 than day 1...I didn't fall asleep on the couch super early like the first day!!

Day 3

Again, day 3 I worked out to Piyo, I really felt like I had a lot of energy in the morning when I worked out!  I felt great!  I did wake up hungry though.  I love all the shakes on the Refresh.  I forgot to have my apple at lunch (not sure how that happened), so I had it at my afternoon snack!  Again, because it is only 3 days, I'm really mentally IN IT!!  You can do ANYTHING for 3 days!  Yes, I've wanted to have bites of my kids meals but again, it's 3 days!!  So I am really excited about the results and feel so much better and less bloated!  I think it really makes a difference when you cut out a lot of animal product.  I noticed that same thing when I did the Ultimate Reset!  I did lay down for about 20 minutes on day 3 because I was really tired!  But overall, I felt good!!

FINAL RESULTS ARE IN!!!
Well...The results are in from the 3 Day Refresh!!  So I finished just in time for Thanksgiving and feel great!!  I lost 2.5 lbs and about 2 inches!!  But most of all it helped cut some cravings that I didn't want to have before Thanksgiving!  That was the main reason I did it before Thanksgiving...I wanted to make sure I stayed on track, I've been preaching it and I want to follow through on my end as well!!  So I don't think my pictures show really the difference I feel and the success I feel like this Refresh was.  I feel "tighter" all around and feel like my "love handles" are decreased and that the poofiness around my middle was drastically decreased!!  So overall I just feel a lot thinner and tighter!  I really liked these 3 days and would definitely do it again!  I feel like it helped me get out of feeling the need to "munch" and "snack".  So overall, I would totally recommend this...I don't know if I'll do this on a monthly basis, but I think it's something I will add in every couple months!  It is definitely something that you can do every single month!  Which, that's pretty cool, because you could actually do this at the beginning of every month and then use that as a jump start to stay on track the rest of the month...so you could easily lose a couple pounds each month with this!!
