This week’s meal plan is a little different, just a
little! You’ve probably noticed that I’m
a creature of habit and tend to eat the same foods. This makes everything simpler for me and it
gives me less to think about. But this week
I will start my week with the 3 Day Refresh.
I’ve eaten more junk this past week than usual for me. My body isn’t
accustomed to the unhealthy carbs and excess sugars that I’ve been
craving.
I’m totally contributing all of these cravings to stress! We know that chronic stress will cause long
term elevation of cortisol, the stress hormone.
Cortisol is responsible for increased appetite and increased cravings
for sugar. Once we start eating added
sugars, our bodies release endorphins, serotonin, dopamine and insulin, all
leading to more cravings for sugar. And the
vicious sugar cycle continues until I put a stop to it!
This week my goals are to spend time each day relaxing,
not bringing my stress or frustrations from work home with me and making time
to enjoy each day.
With the 3 Day Refresh I will be utilizing the healthiest
option to clear my body of excess sugars and get back on track without staving myself
and without using unhealthy detox remedies.
I will still be eating and drinking plenty of protein, fiber, fruits and
vegetables to keep my metabolism up while still allowing my body to clear
itself of toxins and sugars. There is no
starvation whatsoever with the 3 Day Refresh.
This is why I love this mini-cleanse.
After 3 days, I will have more energy, will sleep better, will have lost
my sugar cravings and will have lost the fluid I’ve been retaining.
