Ultimate Reset

After enjoying a week of vacation and splurging on foods that I don't typically enjoy, I decided that today would be the perfect day to start the Ultimate Reset. I've had this program sitting on a shelf for a few weeks just waiting for the perfect day to start. Beachbody's new Ultimate Reset is unlike anything else on the market. It is a 21 day mind and body cleanse that does not consist of a starvation diet or any other creepy formulas that you may have heard of. I was a little skeptical myself when I first heard of the reset. I typically would not be tempted to try a program like this especially while already following a nutrition plan. However, I have had many off track days and cravings for processed foods and sweets. Since my nutrition has not necessarily been on point, I decided to educate myself on the Ultimate Reset and this is what I found.

Why Reset?

 

 

Even though the body is extremely resilient, our bodies have been pushed to the limit by pollution, pesticides, preservatives, chemicals, and toxins contained in nearly every item that makes up our modern world. These harmful items disrupt the normal function of our organs and bodily systems, which, in turn, weakens our immunity, hinders metabolic activity, and creates imbalances that can lead to health problems.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, the average American has approximately 219 toxic chemicals stored in his body, primarily in fat cells. This toxic overload can help lead to premature aging, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer......In fact, the American Cancer Society states that 75 to 80 percent of cancer deaths are linked to environmental factors like toxins.

According to Beachbody, the Ultimate Reset™ is a comprehensive, no-starvation innerbody tune-up that offers much more than the typical cleanse and detox programs on the market. The Ultimate Reset not only helps you eliminate
toxins and waste gently and naturally, but it also maximizes your cellular energy production, helping your body process food more efficiently and your systems run more smoothly.* The Beachbody Ultimate Reset is a complete three-phase 21-day mind and body program that provides everything you need to reset your body.

With the Beachbody Ultimate Reset™ you get these benefits:

• Stronger immune system
• Increased energy and more endurance
• Better digestion, metabolism and weight loss
• A more positive mood and mental clarity

How It Works: The 21-day Reset Occurs in Three Phases.

• Balance Body Chemistry

  Constant consumption of preservatives and chemical-laden foods along with exposure to toxins and pollution impair normal body processes. During Phase 1, you'll balance your body chemistry with four of the six supplements in order to optimize its systems. This will also reduce cravings or dependencies on items such as sugar or caffeine.*
  

• Remove Toxins & Reset Digestion

  In Phase 2, you'll be reversing the effects of poor habits, unhealthy foods, and environmental toxins. You'll modify your diet so that your digestive system won't have to struggle, and digestive problems you may have experienced before such as bloating and indigestion will be significantly reduced as your gastrointestinal tract is cleansed.*
  

• Rejuvenate Your Health

  When you reach Phase 3, you will experience a profound positive change in your mood and energy level. During the final week, you'll eat foods of high-nutritional value whose nutrients are easily absorbed and return healthy bacteria to your freshly scrubbed digestive tract with pre- and probiotics. This will set you on the path to long-term healthy living.*

After reading this information, I started to reflect more on the crap that I put in my body. Each day I consume something that is processed, not to mention all the genetically modified food that we consume regularly. It's quite scary to think about the long-term impact that these foreign substances can have on our bodies. I'm really interested to see how I will feel after the 21 day reset. I've never gone that long without consuming something icky! More than anything, I am hoping for increased energy levels, reduced cravings, and a healthier relationship with food.

I will keep you updated with sample recipes and pictures!
