The 3 Day Refresh and Breast Feeding

The 3 Day Refresh Just came out and of course I wanted to give it a try, the only questionable thing holding me back was, I am a Nursing Mom of a 2 1/2 Month old.

So I started to do some research.  On the Refresh you take 3 supplements.
1. Shakeology
2. Vanilla Fresh
3. Fiber Sweep

I am personally already on shakeology (have been my entire pregnancy) therefore I knew I was in the clear with that one.

What is Shakeology 

 Shakeology is an all natural super food drink, made up of over 70 whole foods ground up    into powder form.  It is a snack or meal replacement, that gives your body its daily dose    of dense nutrition.  

No artificial flavors, colors, preservatives or sweeteners. 

 Shakeology comes in vegan forms as well and is Dairy Free, Soy Free and Gluten Free.

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

**i am not a doctor or nutritionist, so please if your uncomfortable with making decisions like this on your own consult a doctor (who has knowledge In nutrition)** 

Ok so now that I have cleared the Air, that EVERYTHING is all natural, not harmful to you or baby my last concern was CALORIES.  Why Calories, because people have been known to lose their milk supply due to too little calories. The refresh plan lands you around only 900 Calories a day.

Personally I am not a calorie counter, so adding up all these calories for me was kind of like pulling teeth.  I believe if you listen to your body, you will know when to eat and how much!
But for people who do not know how to do this, or maybe like to calorie count- I broke it down for you!

As  a Nursing Mom you technically shouldnt fall under 1,500 calories a day... honestly I don't know if I consume this much on a daily basis and I have zero issues with my milk supply, I eat clean 85-80% of the time and most days I could feed my son all that he needs and still pump out 2-4oz from each breast.

But I respect those Mamas who have their concerns and make sure to keep their calories up!

So here was MY Plan: 

So you may be wondering: 

HOW DID IT GO!? 

First of all, I was not hungry at all during the Refresh.  I think it is a great plan to help you see great results while not depriving yourself, as well as being able to EAT REAL FOOD!  

So many cleanses, detoxes include all JUICE or liquid diets.... I am sorry, but thats just not for me! Coo-dos to you, if you can do it... But personally I don't like feeling deprived.  So this plan was perfect for me! 

I felt great throughout these three days and my milk supply did NOT drop! 

I did most nights drink Green tea because I as usual waS up too late and began to feel a little hungry.  

The main thing I would recommend would be to change your diet before hand slowly not to disturb your milk too abruptly.  This is nothing that will harm your baby, but some babies are fussy about their taste of milk, or their stomachs (including yours) may be sensitive to the increased fiber.  For example your baby may be slightly gassy if you go from not eating these thing to a diet full of healthy/fibrous foods.  

Therefore, I would suggest increasing these foods slowly into your diet before hand to mimic this plan. Through doing this you also should make sure your fiber is UP not only for baby, but you.  If your body is not used to a high fiber diet, you may feel gassy or bloated.  

All in All I was super happy with the plan, felt great, had great energy, didnt feel deprived, baby was happy, and I lost 3 lbs!! 

Not to mention it got me back on track with eating more fruits and veggies, drinking more water, less starchy carbs and feeling great! 

It also has motivated me to really stay focused on my diet since seeing such great results in only 3 days! 

Personally I loved it and would do it again!

With that said, I want you to get excited for the new program we have coming out! So many people have an objection to workouts because they just simply do not have the TIME.  Now more than ever time becomes an issue with all the Holidays just around the corner everyone is running around, making holiday plans, baking, cooking, shopping and wrapping- Often times neglecting their own health, nutrition and exercise.  Not only can the lbs really add up during this time of year, but your health can take a total dive.  With all the hustle and bustle, and stress our immune systems can seriously get compromised and we not only end up looking like we have a tire around our waist, but we end up getting sick.

TIME no longer should be an issue.  Because we now have an amazing program that's only 30 minutes!!! And you will have the opportunity to be in my very first P90X3 TEST GROUP!

Tony Horton uses Muscle Acceleration to maximize results and break plateaus. 

SO…..What is this Muscle acceleration -

Many P90X fans were hooked on the science of muscle confusion – which introduced variety to the workouts and prevented plateauing. P90X3 takes a hint from that success and from studies showing the most dramatic body transformations happen within the first 30 minutes of exercise. Enter muscle acceleration, a Tony Horton-approved highly-structured schedule with an incredibly high level of intensity and an unprecedented variety of moves. The gurus behind P90X3 combined exercises and added some twists to maximize your time and keep every muscle challenged for a full 30 minutes.

The base kit includes 16 workouts so you are never going to get bored. There is a variety and mix of different workouts to keep you on your toes and never get used to a certain routine.  Everything from cardio to strength, pilates, yoga and MMX there is something for everyone!  

Who is P90X3 for?

Anyone looking for tighter abs and leaner muscles, this program is FOR YOU! AND LETS BE REAL... WHO DOESNT WANT TO FIRM UP?!?!? With this program you don’t have to have any previous P90X experience in order to get killer results. In fact, you don't need to have any experience!!! This is a perfect program for the beginner, not only because you can workout with a modifier, but there is a large variety of workouts which will help you discover your fitness style. 

For the workout enthusiasts- this program wont be easy for you either.  You will be challenged and pushed to a new level in order to see your own results in 30 minutes!  As Tony says, ”You don’t get off easy, you just get to finish faster!”
