Reset Your Energy
By now, you probably feel better than ever. At this point of the program, many people begin to feel like they can live on much less sleep. Enjoy your newfound energy, but continue to aim for seven to eight hours of sleep each night.
Reset Your Metabolism
Your body is now completely clear of processed foods, additives, and chemicals that may have previously interfered with your digestion.
Reset Your Taste Buds
Relish in how wonderfully sweet the season’s best fruits and vegetables taste to you at this point. If post-reset, you lose this sense of satisfaction from fruits and vegetables, take that as your signal that it’s time to get back to a mini reset.
Reset Your Digestive System
Your morning lemon water continues to be an important part of your daily ritual for digestive health.
Reset Your Weight
Do the three-day juice cleanse from
chapter 4
.
Reset Your Beauty
Continue with skin brushing. Moisturize with organic coconut oil. Drink lots of water.
Reset Your Exercise
Do forty-five to sixty minutes of fat-burning cardio. Listen to your body to determine length.
Drink Water!
Avoid the mistake of decreasing your water consumption before an event. It’s well documented that your metabolism slows down when calorie consumption decreases too drastically, and, as a result, your body stores fat in case it needs it later. This same pattern applies to water. If your body is deprived of water, it’ll hold on to the water it has in case it needs to survive a long period without water. This leads to water retention, stagnant energy, and toxins being stored. On the other hand, the more you flood your body with high-quality, filtered water, the more easily your body releases excess water and eliminates toxins in doing so. Drinking loads of water before a big event helps your skin glow and helps eliminate bloat.
Two days to go!! You’ll ease back into solid foods by integrating salads and light snacks. Approach your big event looking and feeling your best!
Reset Your Attitude and Your Mindset
Affirm yourself and tell everyone who will listen how great you feel and what you have
accomplished. Aim to surround yourself with people who support and love your best self. No one has the power to bring you down, but it’s much easier to live your best and healthiest life when the people around you support your awesomeness.
Reset Your Energy

Reset Your Exercise
Do forty-five minutes of fat-burning exercise, preferably upon rising. Aim to add an extra session of cardio on two of these six days.
Strength Training
Continue your normal strength-training program, if you have one. If you don’t have one, we advise not starting one at this time for two reasons: (1) you’ll be hungrier, and (2) your muscles may retain extra water when you first start a strength regimen.
You’ll get the most immediate visible results from your cardio. For this reason, we suggest that you focus on this if you don’t have an existing strength-training program or if you do not have enough time for both a cardio and a strength routine.
These two postcleanse days combine juices or smoothies with whole food meals in order to ease you back into eating solid foods while sustaining the benefits you have achieved.

Reset AND REFRESH IN 3 DAYS
If you follow a healthy, clean eating plan and are pretty happy with your weight, but still have the desire for a mini reset in order to be at your absolute best for a special occasion, the three-day supercharged reset is the plan for you.
The Supercharged Reset Plan:
• One prep day of two liquid meals, one snack, and one solid meal
• Two days of juices and smoothies
Here we go!
These three days are about quick transformation. Your energy will be boosted, your eyes will be brighter, and your pants will be a wee bit looser—all in just three days.
Reset Your Attitude and Your Mindset
The quickest way to give yourself a mental makeover that is guaranteed to improve your mindset is to practice gratitude. There are two parts to your three-day gratitude practice:
1. Take out a piece of paper and list everything you can think of that you’re grateful for. Include big things like your family and your health, and little things like finding a good parking spot at the store today or finding that thing that has been missing forever. Make a special point to include the unique things that bring you unexpected joy like your favorite song, the amusing billboard you passed by today, or the way your most comfy lounge pants feel when you put them on after a long day. Read this list each morning and evening and add to it. The more time you spend with your list, the more it grows as you find more and more reasons to be grateful!
2. Sometimes people complain simply for the sake of complaining. It’s a way to fill in gaps of silence. Now that you have written your gratitude list and realize that there is so much for you to be grateful for, commit to focus on the positive and indulge yourself in three days of NO negativity. For these three days, vow to abstain from complaining. You may not be aware of how many negative things leave your mouth each day until you make a conscious decision to avoid saying anything negative. When you eliminate negative chatter, miracles can happen—somehow the negative things that you didn’t complain about go away on their own.
