I’m going to start this blog post by saying this is NOT endorsed by beachbody! This is not the 3 day quick fix that is in the 21 day fix book and I am not a nutritionist, I’m simply sharing my experience.
Being a pescatarian I knew that I couldn’t do the 3 day quick fix… eating chicken and turkey every 2 hours doesn’t exactly fit into a pescatarian diet. I wanted to create something that was similar so that I could enjoy the benefits of a “quick fix”. So I documented my 3 days and wanted to share it with you all as a way to jump start or end your round with a bang. I replaced the chicken and turkey with tofu and shakeology. If you try it please come back and let me know what you think!
Prep- So I kept the basics simple here and as close to the Beachbody endorsed 3 day quick fix. i ate every 2 hours, it’s very protein/vegetable heavy, carb light, no fruit but tea and coffee are allowed Refer to THE DETAILS in the 3 day quick fix and follow everything they say there. The only thing I changed was the protein.
Here is the break down of my days, if you try this feel free to alter the protein to what you like but keep the yellows in the morning and don’t skip the coconut oil! You can change up the vegetables to what is in the 3 day quick fix book. Again this is NOT endorsed by beachbody and is not the 3 day quick fix that comes with the 21 day fix. If you have no idea what the 3 day quick fix is… oh man go back and reference your 21 day fix package or reach out to your coach!

My results… I didn’t take measurements but I will tell you that I had lots of energy, felt lean and was never hungry and had no cravings!!! ALL of those things makes me want to do this at least once every month as a sort of refresh. It’s WAY more fish and tofu than I normally eat so it’s not something I could sustain very long. I really looked forward to fruit and dairy the next day!
I lost 3.5 pounds in those 3 days, which brings me a couple of pounds away from my goal weight!!! However, I’ve really learned to stay away from the scale and base my results on how I’m feeling and looking. The scale is a horrible measurement for success.
