And if you need to, uh, “clear out the pipes” □ then drinking juiced fruits and vegetables may actually be less effective than just eating the fruits and vegetables because juicing removes most of the fiber - which can help get things moving down yonder. If you have no underlying liver or kidney conditions, your body does a fine job of detoxing itself - these organs function to get rid of waste compounds. The thing is, though… juice cleanses aren’t really supported by science. And you can tweak your ingredients for taste. Some favorite fruits and veggies for juicing include:ĭrinking these minimally processed, super-fresh juices is an easy way to boost your nutrient intake. The juice can be from a single veggie or fruit, but many of them are blends. Some may even go up to 10 days.īut we’re not talking like a juice box or a bottle of OJ from the store - this is typically homemade juice or bottled juices made specifically for juice cleanses, which come with premium price tags. On a juice cleanse, you only drink juice for a specified amount of time - say 2 to 3 days. Many people do juice cleanses after the holidays or a vacation where they eat a lot of rich food, or before starting a more long-term diet. Juice cleanses, or juice fasts, are short-term, super strict juice diets designed to help you “detox” or “reset” your body or drop some quick pounds. You can eat whenever TF you want.īut let’s dive in and see exactly what eating on a juice cleanse looks like. One thing that would solve all those probs, though, is EATING. Think of your stomach rumbling so loud it can be heard on the Zoom call, pounding your fists on the steering wheel to keep from pulling into the drive-thru, and spending hours anticipating your next meal (juice) only for it to be gone way too quickly. The reality of really strict juice cleanses, though, isn’t quite so pretty. When you think about juice cleanses, you may imagine walking along the beach in white linen pants, waking up early to do yoga, picking out fresh fruits and veggies at the farmers market with a gentle half-smile on your face, and laughing in a hammock. However, if you do have meals, it’s recommended that they contain some protein, fat, and carbs to help you complete the cleanse effectively. I haven’t had a problem since.Eating on a juice cleanse will likely have little impact on your goals, outside of potentially slowing weight loss. In my life I have never been, ahem, regular. And in the category of things you never wanted to know about me, all of the backend problems that I’ve suffered from over the years have gone away. And I slept like a daddy (because we all know, babies don’t really sleep, but their daddies somehow do). I never gained a single pound back, and actually lost another five pounds in the months that followed. My skin looked great, and any dryness or blemishes cleared up. I didn’t really loose a ton of weight on the cleanse itself (a lot of bloat, not a lot of weight), but I started off being a pretty small person to begin with. ![]() I know the thing everyone wants to know about first is how much weight I lost. And it is why I am getting ready to cleanse again (I fell off the non-dairy wagon and I want to clean house for her and for me).Īs for the effects on me those too were unreal. The juice fast cleared all of that up and made me realize that the kid is super sensitive to dairy, which is why I stayed dairy-free for the months following the cleanse. Lola has crazy eczema, had a significant case of cradle cap, and generally pretty sensitive skin. But for $11 a bottle I wasn’t about to skip it, so I drank it daily and suffered in silence. In my head it was a way they could make a profit off of lemons and water. Nutritionally, I didn’t understand the point of this juice, or believe its claims of speeding up the metabolism. If you’ve ever done the Master Cleanse you know what I’m talking about. No this was some toxic acid with cayenne pepper that hit the back of your throat after each gulp and made you beg for death. It didn’t taste like lemonade, as in the awesome stuff that comes in a 1 gallon plastic cup at the New York State Fair. The one juice that freaking sucked my will to live was the Spicy Lemonade. I don’t really like chewing my liquids, so I could have skipped this happily. Kind of gloppy even after shaking it like crazy. The nut milk (yes, you read that right) was okay. The PAM juice was fantastic, although it felt more like a treat than a cleanse thing. I thought it was really fresh and kind of citrusy. Unlike some other juice fast reviewers, I actually liked the green juice. ![]()
