I've been hearing about Beachbody's Ultimate Reset for years now. I've never really been too interested in lengthy detoxes or cleanses, but I have always been a little curious about the Ultimate Reset because I've heard some good things about it. Problem is that most of the good things I'd heard were coming from people who in some way were affiliated with Beachbody, so I never knew for sure what to think. At one point, about a year ago, I even tried to look up some reviews. The only detailed reviews I could find were from Beachbody coaches and it was only positive points that were listed. I remember thinking, why can't I find an honest review? I mean come on... any 21 day detox, I don't care how awesome it is, has to have some crappy aspects to it. This isn't a measly weekend detox, 21 days is a good chunk of time. It can't be all roses and rainbows.
I've always mostly detoxed or cleansed in natural ways through particular foods, infused waters, and Epsom salt baths and I didn't have any real intentions on doing the ultimate reset anyway so I moved on with my life. A few times in the past, I've completed a 3-day detox, but I never thought I'd ever actually do a 3-week detox. That sounded not so fun to me.
However, in spring of this year I found myself a little bit off track. Then my husband and I took a trip to Nashville and by the time I got back home, let me tell you... I was a lot off track. In addition to being off track, I was (not liking to admit this) in a super lazy funk. All I wanted to do was go back to Nashville and eat more Hattie B's (not even playin').
I didn't feel like thinking about anything or figuring anything out, so for the first time ever I seriously considered doing the Ultimate Reset 21 Day Detox. After pondering it for a few weeks, I decided to go ahead and try it. I figured maybe it would get me back on track and that my curiosity would also finally be quenched about this detox. As soon as I made the decision to do it, I then also decided that I would write an honest review about it. I would write the detailed review I was once searching for, one that doesn't spew any bullshit and just gives it to you straight.
I didn't get paid for this review, I have no ties or affiliations to Beachbody, and I bought this Ultimate Reset Detox with my own money. All of the opinions are my own and boy do I have a lot of them. I give you a blow by blow and I don't hold back. I give you the good, the bad, and the ugly. Find out if this detox is for you...

Okay we all know how it works. You go on a diet, you lose a couple pounds, then you hit a wall, and then you quit. Or maybe you lost 30 pounds and you were happy at that, but then six months later you’ve gained 15 of it back. Or maybe as many times as you’ve tried to even start, you can really never get going. I could go on forever with the or maybes and come up with a ton of different scenarios but they all end the same… a weight loss journeys that never succeed. Why? I mean with all the efforts that we've all put in for years and years, why aren’t there more success stories?
Think about it. How many people in your life do you know who've tried to lose weight? I bet a lot. But just for shits and giggles, let’s say you only know a few. If everybody that walks the planet knows just one or two people who've tried and failed at losing weight, well, uh that’s a lot of friggin people!
So why do almost all of us fail? ...
When we hit plateaus, we tend to feel guilt. Guilt for what we did to ourselves in the past, guilt for not doing enough in the present. You absolutely need to chuck that emotion right in the trash can. Guilt is a destructive emotion that demands negativity and needs self-loathing to live. It will get you nowhere and it will…

But you see I wasn't just saying no to events and activities. It was so much deeper than that... I was saying no to living life. But not just mine. I was stealing precious moments away from my babies. I stole countless teachable moments from them. I stole loving, quality time from them. Time that would’ve been loaded with giggles and smiles. And why? All because I felt tired, weak, ugly, and unconfident.
