What is the refresh? 

The 3- Day Refresh is a 3 day plant based cleanse that consists of 3 daily shakes, a fiber drink, plenty of filtered water, plus a wide variety of fresh fruits, veggies, and healthy fats though out the day to keep fueling your body and increasing your metabolism.

WHO is the refresh for? 

The refresh is for anyone who:

  • Wants to bust a plateau
  • Kick a sugar cycle
  • Drop a few pounds for a wedding
  • Kick the bloat
  • Ditch the bad habits forming
  • Kickstart their weightloss journey
  • Detox the toxins in their body
  • Just give themselves a FRESH start

I personally find myself doing them post vacay to make sure the lose vacay habits, stay on vacation, to kick the bloat if I’ve been enjoying too many of the glutenous goodies that my digestive system don’t like, or just when its been a  while and I want to REFOCUS on my nutrition habits.

What does the refresh entail?

1. Wake up- Drink 8-12 oz filtered water

2. Breakfast (within an hour of waking up)- Shakeology + fruit (from the list provided)

*Option for Green Tea – I prefer Iced Green tea and buy it in bulk online

3. Mid-morning- FIBER SWEEP (digestive health drink)

4. Lunch- Vanilla FRESH (high protein, hunger-satisfying shake) + options from the fruit, veggie, and healthy fat list

5. Afternoon snack- From the fruit, veggie, or juice option list

*Option for Green Tea

6. Dinner- Vanilla FRESH + a meal from dinner recipe list

*Option for Green Tea

Can I exercise on the 3 day refresh? 

You can do light to moderate exercise, but I would avoid the heavy, intense workouts.

This is because the 3 -Day Refresh will use your energy more effectively to help cleanse your system if you are not, at the same time, taxing it with the effort of repairing muscle after an intense workout.

What to expect while on the Refresh:
This is NOT a starvation diet or an all-liquid diet, although it is low in calories (approx. 900-1000 a day). You should not feel starved since it is packed with fiber and protein and you are nourishing your body properly.

Water:
It is recommended that you drink tons of water, especially if you want the fiber to do its job right! How you know you get the right amount of water is by taking your weight / 2 and that number is how many ounces of water you should intake every day.
Example: If you weigh 150lbs…. 150/2= 75…. 75 ounces is what you would need every day (not including your water for your shakes) if you weighed 150 pounds.

Personally I aim for my body weight in ounces. The more water I drink the less likely I am to eat out of boredom opposed to truly being hungry!

Post-Easter Fix & reFRESH!

1 Comment

Today marks 10 days out from Easter…the holiday of chocolate bunnies, sugary peeps, candy filled eggs, and temptations EVERYWHERE! I mean seriously – take a peak in the front door of Target…there is literally candy EVERYWHERE! And while its easy to think (and correct) that “one piece is A-Okay” that one piece tends to multiply and before you know it, you’re helping your kids look for their M&Ms that seem to have “disappeared”all of a sudden…trust me…I’ve been there!!!

But as Easter coincides with Spring we also know that Summer will then follow. As we sit 2 months out from Memorial Day I’ll admit I have SUMMER on my mind!!!  I know I want to feel and look my best this summer and I hope you do to! So…how do we combat this holiday craziness?

Enter:

Post-Easter Fix & reFRESH:

It is still hard for me to explain how drastically different I FEEL when I am eating clean, fueling my body with Shakeology – EVERY DAY – and exercising regularly! Naturally the results follow but its so much more than that. I am happier and healthier. I am a better mom and I am a better wife. I am more patient and all around HAPPIER…and I want everyone to have the opportunity to live a healthier and more fulfilling life too!

This group will provide you with daily clean eating tips, motivation, recipes so you do not get bored, and SHAKEOLOGY, a meal you can use EVERY day that is easy and convenient like those the stuff you find at those tempting Golden Arches or the overpriced lattes, but truly the HEALTHIEST MEAL OF THE DAY!

So…WHY Shakeology?

Shakeo cover

 It can help you:

  • Lose weight – especially if you replace a meal with Shakeology every day.
  • Reduce junk food cravings – drink it in the morning to enjoy this benefit throughout the day
  • Increase your energy and feel healthier.
  • Improve your digestion and regularity.

Hmmm…How????

  • Fiber and probiotics help you “get regular” so you eliminate toxins built up in your digestive system.
  • Proprietary blend of prebiotics and probiotics help create a healthy intestinal tract which aids digestion.
  • A healthier digestive system makes it easier to absorb key nutrients.
  • Digestive enzymes also help your body to increase the absorption of nutrients.

Long story short – Shakeology is NOT a weight loss shake, nor a protein shake… This is a HEALTH shake that is including your dense nutrition, health benefits, and includes your daily multi-vitamin!

Trust me…you can’t get this in anything else – plus it tastes like a dessert!!

Support…the “group” – what is it?

My Easter FIX clean eating and Shakeology challenge is just that! You will get 30 Days of support, motivation, tips, recipes, and be surrounded by a group of people who have the same or similar goes as you! I can’t promise that it will be easy but I can promise that if you stick with it, commit and keep pushing, you will get the results you’re looking for!

Kale with pine nuts

 

I first tried this recipe when I did the 3-day Refresh and loved it so much I had to make it again! 

Kale with Pine Nuts (from 3-day refresh meal plan guide)

(makes 1 serving)

1/2 cup water

1 1/2 cups chopped green kale

1 tsp. pine nuts

2 tsp fresh lemon juice

1 dash himalayan salt (optional)

1. Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add kale; cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until kale is tender and bright green. Remove from heat. Drain. Place in medium bowl. 

2. Toss kale with pine nuts, lemon juice and salt. 

 

This was served as a side with our dinner: Grilled chicken with peppers and onions, quinoa salad, steamed broccoli.

For all you 21-day fixers out there, you could sub out the pine nuts for sesame seeds and this would be: 1 red (chicken) 2 greens (kale, broccoli, peppers and onions), 1 yellow and 1 blue (quinoa with jack cheese) and 1 orange (sunflower seeds)

3 Day Refresh

Ok, I’ll be honest, if I hadn’t posted last week that I was going to be starting this on Monday June 30th I am not sure that I would have followed through! But I said it and I was going to keep my word!

I wasn’t exactly excited about doing the cleanse however I was excited when Beachbody announced this new product and I was excited when I heard about other people’s results…not only the weight loss but how everyone who did it seemed to feel revived and full of energy – and who doesn’t want a little more energy?! Plus, I personally just cannot promote a product when I myself haven’t given it a try! So here goes nothing!

I took the time to read through the information packet, made my meal plan for the week and went grocery shopping! And the rest is history!

A quick recap:

Pros:

  1. I learned one big, valuable takeaway —- I eat WAY too many bites of my kids leftover foods! I had to make a very conscience effort not to finish that bowl of cereal or oatmeal. Not to eat those last few bites of a graham cracker still sitting on the high chair tray and not to take bites of their food, especially while prepping! I knew I muchned here and there but limiting myself to only my allowed meals really pointed this out to me.
  2. By the afternoon on day 2, I wasn’t feeling the hunger I felt on Day 1 and Day 3 was even easier
  3. I woke up on the 4th day feeling so energized! Buh bye bloating and hello energy boost!
  4. I also lost 3.2 pounds and 1.5 inches from around my belly button!
  5. I know I can do anything if I put my mind to it!

My 3-day refresh results

Cons:

  1. I did not like the fiber sweep drink – but got over it quickly!
  2. The first day was HARD. I was hungry at times but kept telling myself I could do it and kept chugging water!!! As a result I was literally peeing like every half hour!!! I stayed very busy during these days so I didn’t have as many temptations
  3. I did have one very small cheat on day 1 – a stinkin blueberry mini wheat…and I’ve been regretting it ever since!

 

So what were the days like??? Here’s a more detailed look…

Monday – Day 1

Day 1 started off great. Did my PiYO workout, had my shakeology, and started my day. The morning snack is a fiber sweep drink and green tea. The tea is no problem, I drink that everyday but the consistency of the fiber sweep was not my favorite! Its one of those things that I just looked and said I have to do it. So I mixed it and chugged it. On the upside it did take away my hunger! Lunch was great – steamed broccoli (leftover from the prior night’s dinner) and an apple with almond butter with the vanilla refresh. This was my first refresh shake and I just shook it up with water – not the best decision on my part! I prefer really cold drinks and this just didn’t cut it. Next one would be blended! Afternoon snack was cucumbers with hummus and then another refresh shake for dinner with some grilled asparagus and almonds – yummmmm! I did get hungry later in the night but I just kept drinking water. And yes, if you’re wondering, I probably peed about 20 times!! Whew – but I do have one confession. I snuck in one cheat bit. It was a shredded mini wheat fed to me by my son – and it didn’t even taste good! Ooops – no more!

Day 1 on Beachbody’s 3-day refresh

 

Day 2

I woke up at 5:00, got my PiYO workout in and quickly made my chocolate shakeo – I was hungry! Fortunately I kept busy so I didn’t even realize I was hungry at all during the morning. I had my fiber sweep a little later than planned but stuck with my whole “chug it” theory and a few hours later enjoyed my lunch – Asparagus (leftover from the prior night’s dinner…notice a trend???) and some blueberries. 2/3 a cup of blueberries was a lot of blueberries! This time I blended my vanilla shakeo with one of the guilt free additions – cinnamon – very tasty! I mashed up some avocado and added a little lemon juice to go with my red peppers for my afternoon snack and finished the day with a delicous spinach salad  filled with so many veggies. I actually sat down to eat and forgot about my shake. I can feel my body adjusting quickly! I made my shake again with a little ice and cinnamon and finished the day with ZERO cheating! Whew – that felt great! I think I’m getting the hang of this! It was a late night but I actually felt so energized and awake it didn’t bother me!

Day 2 – 3 day refresh

 

Day 3

By this point I was in a groove…Day 3 was a breeze! Still woke up early, got my workout in and chocolate Shakeology. Downed the fiber sweep before heading out to run some errands and enjoyed my lunch so much today!! I had to check and then double check the book but sure enough 12 medium strawberries was considered 1 fruit option. TWELVE!!! That’s a lot! I got creative and split them up. I tossed 6 in with the vanilla refresh and saved 6 to eat. The shake was DELICIOUS and my lunch with some carrots and hummus was very satisfying! I went back to my cucumber snack with hummus in the afternoon and tried something new for dinner – steamed Kale with pine nuts! And same as last night I almost forgot my shake! I was tempted to add some strawberries because it was just that much better but that’s not part of the plan – so I passed! Day 3 was in the books. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t go to bed that night dreaming of some almond milk in my shakeo the next day….call me addicted but I LOVE almond milk!!!

What is this 3-day refresh?

 

If the word “Cleanse” scares you and makes you want to run away, grab my hand because I’m right there wtih you – well until now.

I’ll be honest, I have never tried a cleanse although I’ve considered it here and there. But when I heard about this at our annual Coach Summit last week in Vegas and had an opportunity to talk to one of the creator’s of this amazing product (Isabelle Daikeler) I knew that it was something I had to try! Her passion was an inspiration itself as she shared the research and testing that went into creating this amazing product. The testimonials from the test group proved this to be a cleanse like none other. People were feeling amazing and seeing great results.

3 Day refresh – talking with the Dieklers

 

 

So now it is time to face my fears and give it a try and I would love for you to join me!

What is the Refresh:
The 3- Day Refresh consists of 3 daily shakes, a fiber drink, plenty of filtered water, plus a wide variety of fresh fruits, veggies, and healthy fats though out the day to keep fueling your body and increasing your metabolism.

What you will eat and drink during the 3- Day Refresh:
1. Wake up- Drink 8-12 oz filtered water

2. Breakfast (within an hour of waking up)- Shakeology + fruit (from the list provided)

*Option for Green Tea – I prefer Iced Green tea and buy it in bulk online

3. Mid-morning- FIBER SWEEP (digestive health drink)

4. Lunch- Vanilla FRESH (high protein, hunger-satisfying shake) + options from the fruit, veggie, and healthy fat list

5. Afternoon snack- From the fruit, veggie, or juice option list

*Option for Green Tea

6. Dinner- Vanilla FRESH + a meal from dinner recipe list

*Option for Green Tea

What is the Vanilla FRESH shake?
A high protein vanilla shake not only helps satisfy your hunger though out the day, but delivers essential nutrition your body needs for healthy weight loss.
This is also a perfect source of fiber, and it is DAIRY FREE and SOY FREE!

Nutrition Facts for Vanilla FRESH:
Plant protein – 20 gm
22 essential vitamins and minerals
Probiotics to promote digestive and immune health
Clinically tested potato protein extract to help curb hunger
No artificial flavors, color, preservatives, or sweeteners

What is the FIBER SWEEP DRINK?
A blend of soluble and insoluble fibers that gently and naturally eliminates waste from your digestive system, while supporting healthy intestinal flora.

– It is created from whole-ground flax, chia, and psyllium seed husks, FIBER SWEEP is an excellent source of fiber for digestive health

-Wholesome psyllium fiber can help naturally lower cholesterol and support healthy good sugar levels as a part of a healthy diet

-Since this plan is low in saturated fat and cholesterol, psyllium fiber husk may help reduce the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD).

– Flax and Chia are sources of healthy omega-3 fatty acids

When should you start the 3-Day Refresh?
Many people start the Refresh on Friday morning so they can stay focused and disciplined through the weekend- while others may prefer to follow this during the week to avoid temptation of weekend activities.
This is totally YOUR CALL of how and when you want to start this. Bottom line- you want results and to make this a healthy lifestyle, it should be a good time when you decide they day YOU WANT TO COMMIT!

What to expect while on the Refresh:
This is NOT a starvation diet or an all-liquid diet, although it is low in calories (approx. 900 a day). You should not feel starved since it is packed with fiber and protein and you are nourishing your body properly.

About the FIBER:
If you are not use to having lots of fiber in your regimen, I recommend you eat a large salad daily and a few servings of fresh veggies for the week up until your Refresh. If you are not use to all the fiber and overload your body with fiber, you may feel uncomfortable gassy and bloating. This is also a sign of your body cleaning itself up, which is what it is meant to do. After you do this Refresh, you will want to increase your fiber levels in general (which is part of a healthy nutrition regimen).
Fiber promotes satiety, helps balance blood sugar, and thus energy levels, promotes cardiovascular health, and keeps your digestive tract more regular. It of course also helps you stay healthy and helps you lose weight!

Water:
It is recommended that you drink tons of water, especially if you want the fiber to do its job right! How you know you get the right amount of water is by taking your weight / 2 and that number is how many ounces of water you should intake every day.
Example: If you weigh 150lbs…. 150/2= 75…. 75 ounces is what you would need every day (not including your water for your shakes) if you weighed 150 pounds. Personally I aim for my body weight in ounces. The more water I drink the less likely I am to eat out of boredom opposed to truly being hungry!

Exercise:
During the 3-Day Refresh, it is recommended that you incorporate MILD to MODERATE exercise. This is because the 3 -Day Refresh will use your energy more effectively to help cleanse your system if you are not, at the same time, taxing it with the effort of repairing muscle after an intense workout.

So now you have it! A simple plan, for fast results! I am so excited this plan is out because this is perfect for so many people out there looking for results the natural way without putting chemicals and toxins in their body!

I’m getting started Monday June 30th – let’s do this together!
