Today I started cleanse/detox to get me back on track and clear out some bloat using a 3 Day Refresh. A detox isn’t necessary all the time but here are some signs you may need one. I have been suffering from some nasty patchy skin and severe belly bloat. For me the 3 Day Refresh will help me get back on track and clean out my system.

Are you suffering from any of these signs?

1. Low Energy/Fatigued

With the inundation of energy drinks and the steady popularity of caffeinated beverages you’d think we were all suffering from low energy.

But making up for the lack of energy with stimulants like caffeine and taurine does more damage in the long run. After the pick-me-up there is often an energy crash that leaves you feeling worse than when you started. Additionally these energy drinks and stimulants take a serious toll on your liver, further exacerbating the problem and sending you into a low-energy spiral.

How a Detox Helps: A detox can help you flush out the things that are preventing you from feeling energetic and having a pep in your step.

2. Constipated

Chronic constipation is a sign that something isn’t right in your digestive system. If you’ve tried increasing your fiber intake and adjusting your diet with limited results, it could be your body telling you that it needs a cleansing. Frequent Indigestion is also a common sign.

If you’ve accumulated years of waste in your bowels and colon, including impacted fecal matter and more, constipation could be just one symptom of a larger, more pressing problem.

How a Detox Helps: A colon cleanse is the order of the day if you’ve been battling with bouts of constipation. An effective colon cleanse will not only clear your colon of any stored up fecal matter, but will cleanse your digestive tract as well, improving your digestive health along the way.

3. Brain Fog/Unable to Focus

There are several energy drinks on the market claiming to improve focus. If you consistently find that in your natural state you lack the ability to focus and find yourself adrift in a mental fog, your body could be screaming at your to detoxify it, and this is its cry for help.

Once you free yourself of toxins in the form of candida, heavy metals, and more, you’d be surprised how much better you’re able to focus, stay on task, and get things done.

How a Detox Helps: A detox helps get rid of the toxins that are preventing your brain from firing on all cylinders.

4. Overweight/Trouble Losing Weight

If you’re not at your ideal weight even after several earnest attempts at weight loss, it could be that you were fighting an uphill battle thanks to all of the toxins in your body. Or if you are trying to drop those last few pounds but just cannot break through the plateau.

When you detox the body you are bringing things back to square one rather than starting at a disadvantage. It not only helps the body shed body waste and lose weight as a byproduct of doing the detox, it sets the stage for healthy weight loss with the adoption of a better diet and a more active lifestyle.

How a Detox Helps: A detox cleans the slate if you will, and allows you to start fresh rather than swimming upstream by trying to be healthy while still having plenty of stored up toxins.

5. Trouble Sleeping

An excessive amount of toxins can keep you up at night, tossing and turning as your natural cycle is disrupted. Melatonin signals the body for sleep, but an excessively toxic body can reduce the amount of melatonin that is released, and cause a domino effect when it comes to getting natural, restful sleep.

Try a detox before resorting to sleep aids, which will only prolong the problem.

How a Detox Helps: A detox helps you by restoring your body to a more natural state. You can then be more apt to follow the patterns of the circadian rhythm, getting tired at appropriate times at night thanks to melatonin released by the body, and waking up with the birds feeling refreshed and recharged.

6. Unexplained Soreness/Stiffness

Do you wake up in the morning feeling sore and stiff even though you didn’t do anything the previous day to justify feeling that way?

When you have toxins in the body that need to come out you are more likely to suffer from inflammation, because many of the foods and beverages that cause toxicity also lead to inflammation.

If you’ve never done a detox to flush these toxins from the body, they build up over the years and can lead to premature and undue soreness and stiffness in the body.

How a Detox Helps: A detox can help reduce excessive inflammation, which in turn helps to soothe the aches and pains brought on by too much inflammation in the body.

7. Skin Problems/Allergic Reactions

You may have noticed that your skin has been having issues, and nothing that you’ve tried has been able to fix it.

A topical treatment isn’t going to help if the cause of your skin problem is excessive toxicity in the body. It’s time to get to the root cause and follow a proven detox program that lists skin conditions as one of the symptoms it can relieve.

How a Detox Helps: A detox works at the source of the problem, ridding the body of toxins that can lead to rashes, outbreaks, and allergic reactions on the skin, as well as sneezing, coughing, and asthmatic conditions.

Drop Fat and Inches by Eating More!

Does your head spin when you try to figure out what to eat and how much? Have you ever gone a little insane counting calories and grams of fat and carbs and weighing out every morsel of food that passed your lips? Chances are that if you are struggling with weight loss like I did for nearly my entire adult life you really need to simplify your approach and just focus on the quality of your foods. The best foods in combination with the best portions will help you get results you have been chasing with super low calorie diets that haven’t worked. Depriving ourselves is not sustainable and it isn’t healthy.

You can’t lose weight without watching portion size and removing the junk from your food. The surprising thing about this though is that you may need to eat more throughout the day, but of the right foods. Rather than skipping meals and then binging at the next meal, it’s really a matter of spacing out your eating to keep your body and metabolism fueled all day long. So while it’s true that there can be too much of a good thing, it’s all about refocusing on eating more of the right foods but ensuring proper amounts all day long.

Here’s how to eat more of the right foods and how to balance out your portions. These are tips that I use to help others gain control of their health and live happier healthier lives. It isn’t some magic pill but simple principles and focusing on quality.

Replace Your Bad Habits: Have you ever heard it takes 21 days to learn a new habit. This is very true. Don’t expect to suddenly wake up tomorrow and know exactly what to eat, when to eat, and how much if today you are used to meals from a box or the freezer. Know that you will not make healthy changes overnight, so do not beat yourself up if it takes you some time. But that being said, you also cannot get lazy about it. You must actively participate in the process of learning healthy habits for them to become second nature. The average time to create a good habit is about 3 weeks or 21 days. So give yourself this time, allow yourself to transition and embrace the change, and commit to it as your body gets used to powerful and nutritious foods.
Learn portions: Yes portion and quantity does matter and so you need to learn what a serving of chicken or whole wheat bread. This is not something to leave to your “eyeball estimation” when you are new to portion control. Find a system and learn the system. Then once you know it go back every once in a while and check your portions.
Quality is Queen: If it is labelled “Low Fat” “Diet” “Snack Pack” “Natural” or “Low Calorie” it likely means devoid of nutritional value. Processed foods, fast foods, fried foods, and even “diet foods” will only harm your body not help it. Artificial preservatives, flavors, colors, added sugars and chemicals found if processed foods only slow your body down. They are not proper fuel and your body many times doesn’t know what to do with it and it is stored in fat cells. YUCK! When you focus on whole foods that come from the ground (veggies, fruits, nuts, grains) or eat something that grows in the ground (grass fed patured meats and fish) your body will respond amazingly! You are now giving it the fuel it knows how to manage and it will boost your metabolism. Once you get rid of the wrong foods and really welcome in the right ones, you can enjoy healthy eating in a whole new exciting way.
Mini-Size my meals: By tossing out the window 3 meals a day and fueling your body with 5-6 mini meals you will keep your metabolism buzzing right along all day. If you aim for 3 hour in between eating your body will turn into a calorie busting machine. You will have more energy, you close will start to fit differently and you have more clarity of mind. The first thing that is impacted by blood sugar drop is our thought process. I don’t know about you but I like to think clearly all day long, not just 3 times a day.
Hydration is Happiness: I remember learning that the human body is made up of 75% water in 3rd grade. I remember thinking WOW! How am I not slushing around non stop, but that is how my brain worked as a kid. So if we are three quarters water it is very important that we are replenishing our system throughout the day for proper function. The best rule of thumb is to take your body weight, divide by 2 and this is how many ounces you should drink throughout the day. It is also best to “wake up” your metabolism first thing in the morning with a glass. So for a 150lb woman that would equate to 75 ounces. If you do intense exercise add 8 ounces for every hour you exercise to compensate for sweat.

Changing the way that you eat and keeping yourself fueled like this will not only help you to lose weight, but also to feel more satisfied all day long—and that’s what it means to manage your portions, eat better foods, and to get healthier through all of this in the meantime!

If this makes a lot of sense to you and you want to give portion control eating a try, I have just the group for you! We start in just a few weeks, so let me know if you are interested by filling out the application for my Portion Control Challenge HERE
