My Personal Review and Results (and FAQs)
September 2015
CONFESSION: I have had a major struggle with my nutrition all summer. Between the normal summer temptations of ice cream, BBQs, and vacation indulgences... I had a tough summer dealing with a lot of stress (and I have a bad habit of eating my feelings). I had a couple of spurts where I would be on track but just one little thing would set me off and before you know it I was on a roll having a bowl of ice cream night after night. It last got really bad the week before Labor Day when my husband came home with the most delicious fudge from a shop he had visited while on a trip to Charleston, SC. OMG I was eating it all week. First it started off taking too sweet for me on day 1, then by the end of the week I was downing big fat chunks of it multiple times a day.
I felt gross. I felt puffy, bloated, lethargic, and crabby. I knew it was time for a refresh! I have done the 3 Day Refresh multiple times before and usually had great results. There was one time in the winter when I tried it and quit cause it was during our snowmageddon winter here in new England and I couldn't deal with eating only cold foods and shakes lol.
This time around I meant business. I even started it on Labor Day and packed my healthy foods to take with me to our family visit to the zoo. I passed up on ice cream and watched my husband eat it right in front of me, that's a miracle! LOL
I went through the 3 days with ease. It was the easiest time I have done the refresh. In the past I have struggled on day 2 with some cravings, but this time around I didn't have any cravings at all during the 3 days. I felt very satisfied and never starving. I am writing this 2 days after completion and I am happy to report I am continuing my clean eating and feeling fabulous. I noticed that I have tons of energy and none of the nasty bloating I had before. I had a noticeable increase in energy during my workouts, so thats proof to me that I CANNOT OUT-EXERCISE A BAD DIET!
Check out the photo below for my full results. Yes I really lost over 6 lbs in just 3 days. I'm sure a lot of that was water weight, but my scale did show I had a 1.2% fat loss .

3 Day Refresh FAQs
What is the 3 Day Refresh?
The 3-Day Refresh is a scientifically designed program that helps you fast-track your weight loss, kick-start healthy eating, and get a clean break from bad nutrition habits. 3-Day Refresh is a simple, straightforward program that will help cleanse your body and improve the way you feel— without starving yourself. Unlike juice cleanses or liquid fasts which tend to be high in sugar and low in protein (leaving you feeling weak, hungry, and sluggish), this easy-to-follow program helps support your metabolism while nourishing your vital organs.
For 3 days you’ll follow a program of 3 shakes a day, a fiber drink, plenty of filtered water, plus a wide array of fresh fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats throughout the day to keep your energy and metabolism going.
WHY REFRESH?
Maybe you feasted like a king or queen over the weekend, and want to get back on track. Perhaps you simply just want to lose that last bit of annoying pudge. Maybe you used to eat healthy but little by little you fell off the wagon and now are ready to climb back on. It’s also possible you’ve never had a healthy diet but you’re finally ready to start. Sometimes you want to quickly drop a few pounds for an upcoming social event. Or perhaps you’re kick-starting a new workout program and want to shift into high gear right away. Or maybe, just maybe, you’re ready for a few days of clean eating just because it’s the right thing to do.
Whatever your “maybe” may be, we all have those times when we want to get our nutrition on track—and that’s what the 3-Day Refresh is all about. This program is the easiest way to break the cycle of bad eating habits while creating new ones, conquer your cravings, flatten your stomach, feel lighter and more energized, sleep more soundly, detoxify your body, and dramatically improve the way you feel—ALL WITHOUT STARVING!
HOW DOES THE 3-DAY REFRESH WORK?
For 3 days you’ll have a superfood-packed Shakeology® shake for breakfast along with a fruit option; a Fiber Sweep digestive health drink later in the morning; a satisfying, high-protein Vanilla Fresh shake for lunch, accompanied by fresh fruit, vegetables, and healthy fat options throughout the afternoon. For dinner, you’ll have another Vanilla Fresh shake along with your choice from a list of delicious, easy-to-prepare dinner recipes. You can also have tea twice a day and as much filtered water as you like (we suggest you drink AT LEAST half your body weight in ounces per day).
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO DO THE 3-DAY REFRESH?
You can use it anytime you need to lose a few pounds quickly. Or kick-start a cleaner diet. Maybe after a long weekend of eating everything in sight. When you want your clothes to fit a little looser. Before, during, or after a workout regimen. You may choose to do it once a month to keep your habits sharp and your body healthy. You can pretty much do the 3-Day Refresh whenever you feel like recharging.
