3 Day Shakeology Cleanse

So as many of you may know, last week I did the 3 Day Shakeology Cleanse. I had mentioned before on Facebook that I had attempted to do this 3 or 4 times before but would always get hungry and quit about 1/2 way through the first day.

Well last week I was finally able to successfully complete the ENTIRE 3 days! My motivation was a wedding I was attending and wanted to feel great for it. So this time I was determined and focused and ready to get it done! Since I was drinking Shakeology 3 times a day with this cleanse I wasn't at all worried about not getting enough nutrients for my body or starving myself. I love my Shakeology and I drink it every single day. I know there's nothing out there that can supply me with all the nutrients, vitamins, proteins, and minerals in these amounts the way Shakeology can.

Photo booth fun at the reception!

I started on a Monday only because its easier for me to avoid the temptations of eating out or cheating during the work week. Basically on this plan you do the following:

3 Day Shakeology Cleanse

Wake up: Green Tea
Breakfast: Shakeology, 8 ounces of water, ice and 1/2 cup of fruit blended
Mid-morning: 1 piece of fruit
Lunch: Shakeology blended with water and ice only, followed by 1 cup of green tea
*PM Snack: HERE or AFTER DINNER- Shakeology blended with water and ice only
Dinner: 3 servings of greens with 4 ounces of protein (grilled chicken breast or white fish) with 2 Tbsp of non dairy dressing
Water: 64-128 ounces daily. No dairy!

Day 1

Day 1 was pretty good. I got in my Total Body Cardio Fix 21 Day Fix workout and followed it up with a cup of green tea. On day 1 I decided to have my afternoon snack mid afternoon simply because I was HUNGRY. Big mistake! By 8:00 p.m. I was pretty much ready to chew my arm off and was starting to get a headache so I called it a night early and went to bed before I blew my entire day.

Day 2

 I was starting to feel fatigued on day 2. Got up and did Upper Fix from my 21 Day Fix workout and it wasn't my best day by any means. I didn't struggle too bad, I just couldn't lift my heaviest weights. So I kicked it down a notch and got it done. I actually felt better after my workout and wasn't quite as tired feeling as when I initially woke up.

I decided that I would save my afternoon snack for after dinner so I wouldn't get quite as hungry in the evenings and this worked out really well for me. However, I was tired during the day and was more than ready to move on to day 3.

Day 3

I was starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel and I was feeling REALLY good! I skipped my Lower Fix workout on this day  because I didn't want to fatigue myself. Not really that hungry throughout the day on day 3 but by dinner I was starving! I did feel a little tired but it felt like I had been up most of the night with a sick kiddo. So it wasn't anything I couldn't handle.

I drank at least 80 ounces of water each day. This didn't include the water in my tea or my Shakeology.

Feeling great in my dress!

Day 4

DONE! I stepped on the scale after my workout and was down 7 lbs! I knew that some of was water weight but I was good with that. That meant I wouldn't look bloated or feel uncomfortable in my dress. Water weight can really leave you feeling miserable! I have since kept off 4 of the 7 lbs.



I would definitely do this again but if you're not comfortable with being hungry or feel like feeling hungry would trigger a major cheat, I would stick with the 3 Day Refresh. The Refresh uses a product called Vanilla Fresh which is made with potato protein. Potato protein has been clinically proven to help fight hunger and make you feel full. This will keep you from feeling too hungry. In addition, 3 Day Refresh also incorporates Fiber Sweep, which helps with regularity if you're body isn't used to consuming a lot of fiber in foods. Another advantage to the 3 Day Refresh is that you wont blow through your Shakeology stash. If you drink Shakeology everyday, you wont get 30 days of servings from one bag because you're drinking 9 servings in 3 days. However, if you have a stash (like we do) then its not a problem!

Ice Cream and a Cookbook?

So here we are in the beginning stages of summer! Our next few weeks are pretty busy. But that's only because this mama is volunteering for our church Vacation Bible School which kicks off June 15th. And there is SOOO much to do beforehand!

And with summer comes my family's fascination with ice cream. My family (yes, this does include me) could eat ice cream pretty much everyday. And not just once a day either. So while my husband and the kids get their ice cream fill I opt for a healthier alternative made with Shakeology.

VANILLA PEANUT BUTTER BANANA ICE CREAM

•  1 cup nonfat milk (or unsweetened almond milk) 
•  2 scoops Vanilla Shakeology 
•  2 medium frozen bananas (cut into chunks before freezing) 
•  2 Tbsp. all-natural smooth peanut butter 

Optional add ins: 2 Tbsp chocolate chips, mint extract, unsweetened coconut

 Preparation: 

 1. Place milk, Shakeology, bananas, and peanut butter in high-powered blender (such as a Vita-Mix); cover. 

 2. Blend on low for 5 seconds; increase power to high and continue blending for 30 seconds until smooth. 

 3. Pour mixture in a large glass bowl; cover. 

 4. Freeze for 4 hours, stirring every 30 minutes, before serving.

21 Day Fix conversion: 1 Red and 1 Purple

My own results after ONLY 18 days of 21 Day Fix!

And I just got the deets on some pretty amazing news! As you may know, my go to nutrition program is the 21 Day Fix eating guide. Regardless of whatever workout I'm doing my eating is guided by the 21 Day Fix program. If I am doing a more intense workout such a P90X3 or Insanity I just adjust my calories and add a few more containers so I'm not going hungry but STILL getting great results.

I've also done a lot of work tweaking family favorites to make them 21 Day Fix friendly and then figuring out the container conversions to make sure I stick to my portions. But now there's an ENTIRE cookbook that Autumn has created that does ALL of this for you!

Her cookbook has over 100 recipes that are 21 Day Fix and 21 DAy Fix Extreme friendly! What does that mean? That means she has recipes in her cookbook that include the container conversions for YOU! Soups, stews, snacks, on the go breakfasts, lunches and dinners. She even included "cheats" and cocktails! Because this program is NOT about elimination, it's all about moderation!

And did you know that Autumn's brother is a chef? Yup, he sure is! So she worked closely with her brother to come up with simple and great tasting recipes. Have you ever looked at a great looking recipe, only to look at the ingredients list and think "what the heck is THAT?  and where do I have to go to find it?". Well not with these. All of the recipes require ingredients that you can easily find in your local grocery store.  Each recipe comes with detailed instructions, nutritional info and they indicate if they are paleo, gluten free, vegan or vegetarian!



You can get a sneak peak of 5 recipes here on the Team Beachbody blog!
