Do you ever wish there was an "auto-switch" button to kickstart your metabolism? Wish there was a way to get back on track with your health, without messing up your system with overly processed chemicals - or a starvation diet?
That’s what the 3 Day Refresh detox is! I like to call this my "lose the bloat" program. It's 3 days of fruits, veggies, healthy fats, superfoods and water. No starving yourself. No pills or wraps. Just detoxing from processed foods and getting back to basics. Get a clean break from bad nutrition habits; and feel immediately cleaner, lighter, and more healthy.
My honest honest review
I've done this program 4 times since I started my weight loss journey in August of 2015. Sometimes it's easy to complete, and sometimes it's harder. If you are doing this after eating a lot of fatty foods or drinking alcohol, it might be a struggle. You might be hungry. You may feel tired or get a headache.
But at the end of the day, I've always lost 3-5lbs and a TON of bloat when completing it. I love that it's not a liquid-only cleanse and it usually keeps me motivated to keep the healthy habits going afterwards. It's not one of those diets where you gain it all back once you start "eating" again.
Who is the 3-Day Refresh for?
Anyone looking to lose a few pounds quickly and/or to look and feel better in just 3 days can use the 3-Day Refresh. The program is for those who have "fallen off the wagon" with their nutrition and want to get back on; anyone wanting to kick start clean eating habits for the first time; or anyone just wanting to prepare for big event, milestone, or trip and look his or her best. The program is also for people seeking to undo the "damage" of a recent binge. Overall, this product is for anyone who wants to lose weight quickly, feel lighter, feel cleaner, improve digestion, feel healthier, curb cravings for junk food, or improve mental clarity.
What will I eat while on the Refresh?
You’ll drink 3 shakes, 1 fiber drink, 6 healthy snacks, and 1 dinner recipe daily.
What is the estimated daily calorie intake while on the Refresh?
Approximately 900 calories per day. That may vary based on meal selection.
Can I work out on the Refresh?
Because this is a restricted-calorie eating program, it is not recommended to exercise. If you must exercise, you should limit your activity to mild or moderate levels. For those who are used to extreme exercise, I recommend stopping extreme exercise (or tapering down to mild/moderate levels) 2-3 days prior to beginning the program and easing back into higher levels of exertion over the 2-3 days post-Refresh.
How often can the Refresh be completed?
Within moderation, the program can be done monthly. I don’t recommend doing a cleanse more than that.
While on the Refresh, should prescribed medications be taken?
Yes. Please consult a physician for individual medical advice.
What comes in the 3 Day Refresh?
The cleanse comes in a nice box with three sections that includes:
6 Vanilla Refresh Shakes: Each contain 20 grams of plant based protein, 22 essential vitamins and minerals, probiotics and potato protein (helps curb hunger). There are no artificial flavors, colors, preservatives or sweeteners. You’ll drink 2 per day.
3 Shakeology: (Ideally you will use vegan, but I have done this cleanse both with the vegan Shakeology and with the regular Shakeology). 1 per day.
3 Fiber Sweep Drinks: Drink made from whole-ground flax, chia, and psyllium seed husks intended to add fiber to your diet and help you eliminate waste from your digestive system while supporting healthy intestinal flora. 1 per day.
3-Day Refresh Program Guide: Easy to follow guide that explains what you can eat each day and allows you to plan your menu in advance. It also includes several dinner recipes and a list of approved vegetables, fruits and fats.

My 3 Day Refresh Results
In the end, I lost 3.6 pounds and I feel lighter and better in my clothes. Do I think that this is all fat loss? Definitely not. It’s mostly water.
The purpose of the cleanse isn’t to lose a ton of of fat in 3 days (which is virtually impossible) – it’s to reset your habits and your body and get back to square one. I think in that case, it was a success, as it’s given me time to reflect on some of the poor eating habits that I had slowly had creep back into my life.
As for how the cleanse FELT, – this time I truly felt great! I have done this in the past and felt tired but this time I actually had a lot of energy.
My Review of The 3 Day Refresh
I’m glad I did the 3-Day Refresh. My eating habits were slowly going off the rails and I needed a reset. I really like that this cleanse only lasts 3 days – it makes it seem very doable. I like the recipes that are provided and I enjoy the fact that I am able to eat things like avocado and bananas.
Would I recommend the 3 Day Refresh?
It depends. I would recommend it to someone who is looking for a reset in their habits and who is committed to making improvements in the future. If you’re just going to go back to your old habits, you might as well forget about the cleanse as I’m sure you’ll gain the weight back immediately. If you’re looking for a quick weight loss fix, this program will help you lose weight and feel better in your clothes for a big event. I would not recommend the 3 Day Refresh if you are breastfeeding, as the levels of fat are not high enough to support normal lactation.
How much does the 3-Day Refresh cost?
The 3-Day Refresh kit is $69.95.
The 3-Day Refresh Challenge Pack (with 30 days of Shakeology) is $160.
