I had a couple options on how to treat this,
1) I could eliminate grains, dairy and sugar from my diet and add in probiotics and some natural anti fungal capsules
2) I could do a 3 day bone broth fast, starving the yeast of anything that could "feed" it but still get some nutrients through the bone broth
3) I could do the 3 Day refresh which has a lot of fiber and fluids and could help flush things along.


The 3 Day Refresh opportunity came up when my team decided to do it together. I did A LOT of research before deciding to go this route, if this was a "detox"(it's not) or something that would keep me in the bathroom all day (it doesn't), I didn't want to do that... I have two toddlers and as they say, "ain't nobody got time of that!" lol
So I decided the 3 Day Refresh would be my best option right now because I'm breastfeeding but also needed to get a jump start on this yeast issue.

WHAT is the 3 Day refresh? It is exactly what it says, a 3 Day Refresh! As the box says, It's helps you "Make a clean break from bad habits, jump-start a healthier lifestyle, and see real weight loss in 3 days, without starving yourself!"

The days are laid out for you with each meal and snack. This is what each day looks like...

Breakfast: Chocolate Vegan Shakeology blended with water and ice. You are also able to add one serving of fruit. I opted out of doing fruit for this program because eliminating sugar from my diet was one of my goals. I did however add cinnamon which is allowed

Optional: Morning Tea, cinnamon or stevia may be added but no dairy or sugar

Late Morning: Fiber Sweep Drink (just mix with 10oz of water)
This one was a bit hard to swallow so I just chugged it to get it over with, it didn't taste bad, kind of lemony but the texture due to the flax and Chia was, weird for lack of a better word.

Lunch: Vanilla Fresh shake (just mix with 10oz water) + one serving of fruit + one serving of vegetables + one serving of healthy fat
The Vanilla fresh wasn't that bad, I still chugged it but the taste and texture were more along the lines of a vanilla milk shake.


Snack: 1 serving of vegetables + one serving of healthy fat or 1 raw juice

Optional: late afternoon tea cinnamon or stevia may be added but no dairy or sugar

Dinner: Vanilla Fresh + one serving from the dinner recipes list

Optional: decaf evening tea cinnamon or stevia may be added but no dairy or sugar



My days looked like this
Breakfast: Shakeology blended with 10oz water and cinnamon

Plain green tea

Fiber sweep

Lunch: Vanilla fresh mixed with 10oz of water and cinnamon + sautéd spinach in coconut oil and a dash of garlic powder, 1/2 a red bell pepper with hummus

Dinner: Vanilla Fresh mixed with 10oz water and cinnamon + roasted asparagus + roasted brussels sprouts + sautéed green beans

I doubled up all of my veggie portions since I was eliminating fruit.





My biggest fear in this was that I would be starving for 3 days but I was surprisingly full/content throughout! I was also nervous I'd be going #2 all day long but I was instead peeing all day long lol
Days 1 and 2 were the hardest, just thinking "I can't have that, "whatever"" makes you want it plus I was having serious sugar withdrawal headaches. By day 3 my headache had lessened significantly and just knowing I was on the last day made it a lot easier to push through.
This is Not a program for everyone but if you're having gut issues, need a jump start out of a weightless plateau or need to break some dietary habits then I'd definitely recommend the 3 day refresh!
As difficult as it was, it was 100% worth it!!
I feel cleaner, less bloated, less brain fog, I have more energy, I'm no longer craving sugar and I lost 4.2 pounds and 5 inches from my hips and waist!



But most importantly I feel like I can get control of my eating habits again, now that I've made progress and broken through a year long plateau I have a renewed motivation to continue on eating healthy and healing my body from the inside out!

I'm actually so happy with it that January 1st I'm doing round 2
