| One days worth of meals/supplements |
Got back from vacation, I wasn't feeling guilty about indulging- most of the choices I made were really special treats I couldn't get in the Twin Cities. I WAS, however, not feeling awesome physically. Just sluggish, a bit "ho hum"- not my usual self. So, I decided to whip out the 3 Day Refresh kit I had gotten a month back.
What's the 3 Day Refresh? It's a three day detox based on consumption of fiber, veggies, fruits protein and tons of water. Why use it? To de-fluff from a vacation, drop a few last minute pounds before a big event and just to reset yourself before starting a fitness journey! I only gained 4lbs over vacation (expected it to be more!) so I'm more doing this as an experiment to see how it goes so I can either recommend or not recommend it to clients!

Weighed myself the following morning (after Day 3) and was down to 137.2lbs for a 6lb loss- holy cats. So, over all I lost 6lbs! Now, I didn't NEED to lose that much but clearly this program works. I didn't feel that hungry but for sure missed chewing my protein and eating carbs. Though- it's just three days folks! You can totally do it, too.
Second thought- it was SO easy to prep. Made getting it ready in one night super easy. I chose to keep it simple but you can mix up what fruit and veggies you use if you want more diversity day to day. The fiber sweep kinda tasted like any other fiber mix- a little gelatinous but not an unpleasant flavor. The Vanilla Sweep reminded me of almond milk- it was fine by itself OR blended with fruit.
It's on sale ($10 off) through June 9th- if you're wanting to grab one at this price do it now! You can save it for later, too- maybe post-Memorial Day fluff or pre-summer vacation?

I can't wait to hear how you like it!
