I share a lot of info about the importance of self-care and fitness on this blog, and while I’m absolutely dedicated to continuing to inspire you to reach your spiritual and physical wellness goals by focusing on these things, I also want to encourage you to be smart about the foods that you put into your body. 

I’m not big on fitness fads or programs that involve counting calories or abiding by strict guidelines. I’m sure this works well for some people,but I’m just not that kind of girl; I like keeping it simple.  That’s a huge part of what sparked my interest in partnering with Raw Generation to review their SKINNY START Weight Loss System. 

What do you get with the Raw Generation SKINNY START Weight Loss System?

SKINNY START is a 3-day nutritional program that composed of 100% raw cold pressed juice, tea and raw foods. The juices and tea contain ingredients that make them superfoods that provide your body with amazing nutritional benefits. They also help with fighting cravings. This program is a great way to help you get geared up for a healthy lifestyle change in a short period of time.

My experience using Raw Generation SKINNY START Weight Loss System

What I liked the most about this program was how easy it was to start and finish. Each day you can drink up to 7 bottles of the raw, cold-pressed juices and two teas, and they all actually taste good. I let my boyfriend, who is a huge foodie, taste a few of the flavors and he liked them, too. He’s even considering trying SKINNY START. You also get one green apple and one protein bar each day. 

At first I thought I had to drink consume everything on each day, but that wasn’t the case. The program is simple: Drink or eat when you’re hungry. You  aren’t obligated to finish everything each day (but you can). As long as you don’t go over the daily alloted amounts, you’re good.

If you follow me on Instagram, then you probably saw several updates from my time using the Raw Generation SKINNY START Weight Loss System. In addition to food and drinks, it’s also encouraged that you exercise as usual. Here’s a recap of how I executed the program. 

Day 1 

What I ate: Morning Heal & Hydrate juice, Energy & Endurance juice, Skinny Green Tea
Afternoon- Refresh & Revitalize juice, Green apple, Beauty & Brilliance juice, protein bar
Evening: Slim & Strong juice, Refresh & Revitalize juice, Berry Skinny Tea, Refresh & Revitalize

How I felt: I felt hungry during the morning and afternoon, but adjusted by the evening. This was a huge diet change for me, so my body reacted. I didn’t feel light-headed or nauseous, I was just aware that my body was getting used to a new way of nourishing itself. I craved sweets and meats for most of the day, but didn’t give-in. My energy level was pretty normal. 

Workout: 30-minute Tabata strength circuit

Day 2

What I ate: Morning Heal & Hydrate juice, Berry Green Tea
Afternoon- Refresh & Revitalize juice, Green apple, Beauty & Brilliance juice, Energy & Endurance juice
Evening: Slim & Strong juice, protein bar
 
How I felt:  I felt a little sluggish in the morning, but once I drank a bottle of the juice I got a much-needed energy boost. My endorphins were in overload on day 2, so I spent time outdoors and enjoyed some fresh air. I registered for Yoga Teacher Training on this day (more on that coming soon) so that was an additional highlight of the day. I packed my lunch bag with the juices and spent the day running errands. I didn’t crave sweets and I didn’t really want meat either, I actually remember complaining about the gross smell of some fried chicken grease while out and about. 

Workout: 35-minute power yoga flow

Day 3

What I ate:
Morning Heal & Hydrate juice, Skinny Green Tea, Energy & Endurance juice
Afternoon- Refresh & Revitalize juice, Green apple, Beauty & Brilliance juice
Evening- Slim & Strong juice, protein bar, Berry Skinny Tea
 
Results: I felt the most energized on day 3 and had no cravings for sweets. Honestly, I found myself craving fruits and veggies and not even meat (I love chicken and turkey, so this is pretty major.). The biggest difference in my physique came with my waistline. The bloating in my lower stomach area was gone and there were rips in my abs that I haven’t seen in several months. The snap back was real! I ended losing about 3 lbs. in 3 days. My goal wasn’t weight loss, so this was an added bonus. My biggest goal was to change my eating habits and these results inspired me to keep being active and eating healthy, whole foods. 

Workout: 45-minute cardio sculpt interval circuit 

Final Thoughts

I highly recommend Raw Generation SKINNY START to anyone who’s interested in dropping their bad eating habits. It can be a difficult adjustment to go from eating mostly solid foods to drinking mostly juices, but honestly once day 1 is over it gets easier. By day three you’ll find yourself craving the juices and teas.

This cleanse will regulate your digestive system (not in a way that you’ll have to miss work or be a prisoner to your home.). It’s a natural cleanse that detoxes you to prepare for your best looking and feeling body. 

You will likely feel more energized and possibly slimmer after completing this cleanse, but you have to continue living a healthy lifestyle that includes eating healthy foods and physical activity to maintain the results. If you revert back to making poor nutritional choices, you will erase the results, so be focused on allowing this to be a hard reset to help you change your lifestyle. It’s absolutely worth it!
