I decided to do the 3 Day Refresh because I was seriously struggling with getting my eating back on track since getting back from our Florida vacation in September. I have no problem with getting my workouts in. It's my eating that has always held me back in the past and after all my hard work for our trip, I certainly wasn't going to blow it this time due to bad food choices!

3 Day Refresh Kit includes your booklet and recipes, 3 packets of Shakeology, 3 packets of Fiber Sweep and 6 packets of Vanilla Fresh |
I did mine over Saturday, Sunday and Monday. You can choose any three days that work best for you. I decided the weekend would be easier for me because my husband is home and would help me stick to it!
So what is the 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 respect nutritional value. For example, the juice cleanses out there really are not the best options for you. The R&D team really was looking to create a product that gave nutrition that was safe and effective at helping you with rapid weight loss.
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 nutrition 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. For lunch you have the vanilla refresh shake with a serving of veggies, fruit and a good fat. Dinner is the vanilla fresh shake with a meal choice from the nutrition 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 basics to cut the bloating and help you lose weight.
The biggest question that people ask me is this... Am I going to be on the toilet for 3 days? Nope not at all. There was no surprises or out of the ordinary experiences. The only thing you could possibly experience is a little fullness in your stomach or gas from the extra fiber if your body is not used to that. This is normal and is totally ok. That means the cleanse is working and doing its thing. So just chug water and go with it! It's very short lived if it happens to you at all.

So, after 3 days what were my results?
I lost 4 pounds on the refresh. I felt 100% better, no bloating or fullness, I had energy and my cravings were gone for sweets. I worked out during the refresh with no issues at all. But of course, if you experience any dizziness definitely stop and rest.
The first day was the hardest. I had a terrible headache which I attributed to the fact that I had eliminated caffeine plus my 2 year old decided to wake up way too early and I had gone to bed too late the night before. So I had a bad headache and was exhausted but not really ever hungry.
Day 2 was easy for me. I woke feeling terrific after a full night of sleep, headache gone! Got up and did my 21 Day Fix workout (Dirty 30) and had enough energy to get through the workout pretty good! I had no hunger whatsoever.
Day 3 was a breeze. I was still exercising and feeling good, I was just really ready to eat food again! I made it through and I was totally ok! This is something I could and will totally do again!
How often can you do the refresh? You can do it once a month if you would like. It's save, effective and keeps you on the straight and narrow.

Before Refresh I felt bloated for sure and my pants felt a little snug right out of the dryer. After Refresh I was definitely more comfortable in my freshly washed pants! |
