We are nearing December and as we do thoughts turn to intentions for the New Year. (Right behind holiday planning that is.) Every year, whether we claim to or not, we mentally flip a page or finish a chapter and prepare to begin afresh.
Often we reflect on our health and nutrition. Often we are disappointed, discouraged about our lack of progress or results from the year we see speeding to a finish. I know. I have been in that spot! What if there was an easier solution than making grand resolutions January first? What if there were steps you could take immediately to right your eating habits?
More Energy, Better Sleep…What??
In July I published THE THREE DAY RESET. This program is a completely doable food plan that yields fantastic results. Whether you employ The Reset as a ârefreshâ once in awhile or you perform the program weekly, you will create notable change and meaningful results.
Since publishing, I have had people ask what they can expect specifically from the program. There are some distinct attributes, but today I want to focus on the five results from The Reset you may not have expected.
FIVE THINGS YOU NEVER THOUGHT YOU WOULD GET FROM THE THREE DAY RESET
LEANER: I donât tout this plan as a diet because it is so much more than that. But, that being said, if you follow the plan correctly I find most people do lose weight. When you practice consistently eating âclean and leanâ a few days a week your body opens up and runs more efficiently.
BETTER SLEEP: Quality sleep is something I have struggled with for many years. It started in chiropractic school when I would get heart palpitations and a racing mind as I tried to settle into sleep. When I realized it was the start of an anxiety condition, I was actually relieved. (I thought I was dying a slow death from a heart failure!) My sleep has improved significantly. But, it is by far the best at the beginning of the week when I am engaging in The Reset. Why would that be? Well, there are several reasons: lower sugar intake, a more balanced food schedule, smaller portions, less processed food and no alcohol. BAM. Better sleep.
And better sleep begets better sleep. If your body can get into a rhythm, it has the potential to maintain a better sleep cycle even on the days you are not doing The Three Day Reset.

MORE ENERGY: This is one of the best attributes of The Reset. I always let my clients know that the first couple times through the program you may feel a little groggy. Your body may take a bit to get used to all the greens and the cleanliness of the food. When you take away sugar and processed food your body my act a little like a whiny two-year-old when you pull away their candy. Stick with it!
I recently had one client who is a cyclist say she had the best bike ride of her life on day three of her last Reset. She also said she had little to no recovery time after the ride. Amazing what a clean engine can do!
DECREASED PAIN: Fact â sugar, dairy, processed food, alcohol, and caffeine can all cause inflammation in your body. Inflammation causes pain and other health issues. The Reset allows you to decrease the inflammation in your system regularly. And, if you do The Reset weekly, 40% of your month is clean, anti-inflammatory eating. That means you are dialing down the pain stimulator on a consistent basis.
TRANSFORMED NUTRITION: IWhen I talked to a âbook coachâ about how to get The Three Day Reset message out to the world they said donât talk about âtransformational nutrition.â It is BORING! Too bad.
I am going to despite their advice because Cancer is real, diabetes is real, and heart disease is real. And if you do not know how to eat well you will most likely experience one or all of these conditions at some point in your life.
The discussion regarding how to transform your nutrition so you can live longer, and experience a greater existence, is just too important. I have so many clients that think they know how to eat and sadly they have been given the wrong tools; tools that often create greater harm to their delicate human systems. The Reset is a way to provide a deep-dive education in nutrition by having you do hands-on practice a few days a week.
By executing the plan, you learn the kind of nutrition that fuels your body properly and the food chemistry that will make your coming years far more enjoyable.

Thanks for stopping by, Rachel and congrats on your recent nuptials!
What a great plan! I fully believe that health starts with what we put into our bodies.
this sounds like a great plan! Thanks for sharing! đ
More energy is always a big plus! Love this 3 day reset.
This is such a great idea! I desperately need to try this.
Thanks for sharing!

I definitely need to try something like this….the only problem is that I don’t eat half of the foods required!
What do you mean by required, Sky?
I will definitely be coming back to this for a holiday detox! đ
It is a great “get you back on track” method. đ
Very interesting! I like any reset that provides more energy. (Don’t all bloggers crave more energy?! lol) I had no idea so many of the foods you listed cause inflammation. Thanks for sharing!

Absolutely they do and you are not alone. A lot of folks are new to this information.
Thank you. I will definitely bookmark this site.
I love that this program is only three days, I could probably stick to this!
The food looks tasty! I don’t think I could do it for three days though.
Three days is SO much easier! Bookmarking for future reference! Thank you so much!
These sound like such great benefits! I’m always trying to be healthier so I’ll have to try the three day reset!
I think we could ALL use a little more energy, that’s for sure!!!
What a great concept! This is something I would definitely do whenever I feel like I’m in a dietary rut.
Great post!
A three day reset is a good thing! More sleep is always handy! What a great idea and I hope lots of people buy your book!
I’ll have to try this out. I definitely need better sleep and more energy!
every two weeks I have a few days in a row to eat only soups and salads. It really does good or my body
I should try this. Three days seems very manageable and a great place to start my lifestyle changes.
Sounds interesting! It can be hard to eat “well” every single day, so the idea of totally focusing on it for a few days a week sounds a lot easier to achieve.
The meals look absolutely delicious and wholesome. Sounds like a great restart program!
This reset looks amazing! I am always looking for new healthy alternatives to start my week and this is perfect for my meal prep Sunday đ
Like the idea of a 3 day reset, great way to eat healthy
Wow I missed the original post so I’ll have to check it out. It’s amazing that it helps you like this. I also feel like you can put up with anything for 3 days. Thanks for sharing.
It’s amazing how a change in your diet can prevent lifetime of unnecessary stressors such as heart issues. This is a great tool especially in the colder months when it might be too much of a burden to eat healthier I’ve been taking it slow doing substitutions and I’ve noticed a difference in how I feel.
Good work, girl! It is the small consistent changes that win te race.
I need better sleep so worth to try
Oh how I need this!!
I’m gonna have to try this!
3 days is nothing when you get benefits like these. Not to mention the food looks amazing!
Thanks, Andrea! Gets back in the kitchen cooking real food and that is what it is all about!
I definitely need this! Pinning for later đ
Wow three days is all it takes?! Count me in for positive lifestyle changes!
Shane. Three days a month is the start. Some people choose to do the Three Day Reset weekly for more results. đ
We are what we eat and we aint getting any younger. The earlier we check our eating habits the better. Thanks for sharing.

That is so true, Devika. It truly is an investment!!!
Well, if it involves the foods that you have pictured here, then I am all about this. All those foods look really tasty to me.
Awesome Dawn. And it does. Just whole food, organic nutrition.
3 Days Reset seems interesting! I may not be able to try this since I am on a different nutrition plan as of the moment but it does makes me want to try since it is only for 3 days! đ
I would love to know what plan you are on. I could personally tailor the three day for your needs!
I’ve been talking to my wife about doing something like this, it’s just hard to think about the 3 days
Ha ha. That is not the response I get from most because so many of the programs are 21-20 days! Ha ha. I know you can do it, Michael!
This sounds like a really interesting & doable concept, especially when compared to book/programs like the Whole 30! I would love to try out a three-day reset and see what it can do for me and my body…the idea of better sleep & more energy was enough to pull me in!
