3 Day Superfood Detox Cleanse Results!!

Here are my final results from my Superfood Detox Cleanse I completed last week! 

I'm pretty impressed with the results I got in just 3 days. I was also impressed with how easy this cleanse was to complete! 

Sure there were some times I felt weak and wanted to raid my pantry, but overall I didn't have cravings or feel like I was depriving myself. I think the fact that I was filling my body with TONS of superfood nutrients throughout the entire 3 days is what helped me feel so good and helped me not to have cravings like I have with other cleanses.

Fitness is a journey, not a destination! We all have highs and lows and even fit people sometimes need a little jump start to get them through a rough point or a plateau. This was exactly what I needed to detox after my 4 day binge of eating out and excessive celebrations. 

Overall I lost 5.5 total inches from my waist/hips/thighs and I think about 4 pounds!! 

I know some of that is water weight which is fine but I'm still happy with the way I looked afterwards. I lost some of that bloat I was feeling before and I felt lighter and more energized!

If you're looking to jump start your results or have an event/vacation coming up, or even just need a little 3 day break from processed food and are looking for a way to rid the toxins and feed your body what it needs....

Day 3 of 3 of my Superfood Detox Cleanse

Day 3 Of My 3 Day Superfood Detox Cleanse Completed!!

Well I can officially say I completed my 3 day detox cleanse!!!! 

Day 3 was yesterday and surprisingly it was the easiest all all 3 days up until around 4:00pm when I hit a wall!

The day started out amazing! I felt so much energy. I felt very clear headed. I was feeling great and I wasn't feeling hungry or deprived at all! 

I had my Shake for breakfast around 7:30am. I had a banana around 10:30am for a mid-morning snack. Then had my second shake around 12:45 and to be honest, I only had it because I knew I needed to eat something, not because I was hungry. 

Then I got super busy at work and before I knew it, it was 4pm and I was STARVING!!! 

The previous 2 days I had my 3rd shake around 4-4:30 pm and on this third day I kinda hit a wall at this time and I knew I needed some calories!

Luckily I had an apple with me so I quickly scarfed that down and I was fine after that! 

On my drive home from work I began to imagine all the things I wanted to eat and I started to question why I was even doing this....but I'm very competitive and I couldn't just quick when I was this close to being finished. 

I came home and immediately made my grilled chicken salad which was de-lish! 

I had my 3rd shake for dessert :) 

I took my result photos and measurements this morning and I was VERY pleased!!!! I will post once I go through  my photos for you all :)  

All in all...was it worth it? 

I think it was a great way to take a 3 day break from processed foods, eating out, alcohol, and give my body a super dose of superfoods nutrients and clean food! 

My results were very good and I'm very pleased with that!

I felt great overall during this cleanse for the most part. I did experience an energy level dip in the afternoons, especially this last day, but  I was still able to go about my busy work day and do my workouts! 

So I'm sure you're wondering what I ate today after my cleanse was done? 

So I did have my Ezekiel bread toasted with natural peanut butter this morning and my favorite Quest bar for a mid morning snack. Interestingly it tasted super salty to me after these last 3 days without one! I had a turkey spinach wrap for lunch and I actually felt uninspired and had a chocolate vegan Shakeology for dinner with some fruit added in....I can't get enough of this stuff clearly! :)

I'm proud I stuck with it.....Results to come! 

Day 2 of My 3 Day Superfood Detox Cleanse

Day 2 of My 3 Day Superfood Cleanse!

Alright guys...so today was a little harder but it was still not as bad as I expected! This plan really is not that bad! I got a little hungry today and felt a little mini headache before lunch but I also didn't get to eat my snack until lunch due to a busy morning with my patients.

For Breakfast - I had my 1 cup of coffee again with my small addition of coconut oil (ok so coffee isn't really on the plan, but I'm not ready to give that up just yet...)

Then I made my chocolate vegan shakeology with a lot of cold water, ice, and half a banana (going for volume this morning!).

I got slammed at work so I didn't get to eat again until noon. I was pretty hungry around this time and I started to think about the food everyone else was ordering in the office around me....oh the temptations!! 

I quickly made my 2nd shake for Lunch- this time with just water- and this curbed my cravings! I then ate my apple (my snack) which helped fill me up more!

Around the time I was driving home from work today, I was starting to cave...I started to think..why am I even doing this?! 

I often graze when I get home from work and I was dreaming about what was in my pantry....Ok...I had a small handful of raw almonds....If that's a "Cheat" then I guess I cheated but my goal is not to lose weight with this cleanse. 

My Cookies n' Cream Quest Bars were taunting me and I didn't want to give in so what did I do for motivation?!? 

I jumped on YouTube and watched some videos of others who have done this cleanse and that really inspired me to push through and continue on. It also inspired me to make a video! - See below :) 

I made my 3rd shake to avoid temptation and decided to switch things up and make a strawberry shake this time. I did water and I decided to add in another half a banana - I'm not doing this for weight loss. 

I then did my 30 mins workout (I did a LesMillsPump workout) and this gave me a lot of energy!

It's about 8pm now and I'm really not even hungry at all. I feel completely satisfied and energized. To be honest, I feel better than I have all day. 

I'm about to make my LARGE salad with grilled chicken and lots of veggies and call it a night! 

Let's see if I can make it through tomorrow- I have a busy day at work so that will either help me or make me really hungry :) 

How I make my daily Shakeology!

I've been a fan of Shakeology for years and I've tried to find a comparison and just have not been able to.  I never drank it daily as intended but I started drinking Shakeology daily about 2.5 months ago now as a personal "challenge" to see what all the hype was about first hand. 
I've always been very interested in nutrition and what I put in my body but I wasn't expecting all the benefits that came along with drinking this shake daily! 
Since starting to drink it daily, I've noticed:
1) Reduced cravings for sweets 2) Reduced cravings for caffeine 3) Improved digestion and regularity (big issue for me in the past) 4) Improved SLEEP! (HUGE issue for me in the past) 5) Increased focus and stamina during long work hours 6) More glowing skin!  7) Dry scalp no longer an issue! (embarrassing but true!)
