“Pros: I did my 5 day cleanse without feeling hungry or irritable. I realized that a lot of what I eat is due to habit or boredom. They 3 fruit/veggie shakes are quite good. I didn't feel the need to eat any extra fruit or veggies in addition to the shakes. In fact, I thought that the 3 protein shakes each day were too much for me, so by day 3, I was only drinking 1 protein shake per day.
Cons: I do not have a picky pallet but I did not like the vanilla or peanut butter protein shake at all; I had to force them down. I also thought that 3 protein shakes a day were too many calories and fat for me. So I cut it down to one per day.
I did the cleanse for 5 days and did not see or feel one bit of a positive result! No weight lost, didn't feel less bloated, no change in energy. In fact, i might have felt more bloated? Kind of unbelievable, actually. So I was disappointed.
With that said, I'll probably make the rash decision to give the skinny cleanse a try anyway! I just need to see if I'll have any luck with that.”
Hi Eliza! We appreciate your feedback. We are so sorry to hear you were not 100% satisfied with your cleanse. Although most of our customers do experience weight loss with our cleanses, everyone's body is different, and results will vary from one person to the next. It sounds like maybe the Protein Cleanse was not the right fit for you. If you haven't already done so, please contact us directly at support@rawgeneration.com. We would be happy to come up with a solution.
“I was excited to find a cleanse that provides protein but my overall experience fell flat. The support and weekly plan are very easy to follow but the drinks were way way too sugary for my liking and health. In total, I was consuming 125 grams of sugar a day and my glucose/blood sugar was constantly spiking. I understand sugar from whole food sources is processed and absorbed differently but these juices didn’t have enough fiber or protein to offset the sugar spike. I wouldnt recommend this for anyone that is sensitive to sugar.”
Hi there! We appreciate your feedback! All our sugar comes naturally from the raw fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds—we never add refined sweeteners. That said, we know some people are more sensitive to sugars than others, and that's totally valid. This is one of the reasons we tell people it's good to snack on whole fruits and vegetables during a cleanse. Not only does the fiber help with blood sugar absorption, it also alleviates our need to chew and helps with feeling more satiated.
“This cleanse is delicious and effective. I loved it and immediately got another. I lost five pounds in the first three days.
The downside: I did start to crave bread really bad, and it’s something I rarely eat and never crave. Also, I was very disappointed to find that it’s shipped in styrofoam, which is banned where I am. I wish they could find a different product to ship in that’s more environmentally conscious.”
Hi there! Thank you for your feedback! We do understand your concerns and would like to address them! Other juice companies use preservatives or high-pressure processing, which gives their juices a long shelf life, but degrades or eliminates most of the nutritional value and taste. So while their juice may not have to be frozen in transit, what’s inside is less nutritious. The only way to preserve all the nutrients and flavor in our juices is to flash freeze and ship them frozen. The styrofoam insulation in the boxes allows us to get you the products as frozen as possible. We would also like to let you know we are always researching and testing more sustainable measures; however, we have not yet found any other materials that allow us to get the freshest, most delicious products to you safely as well as the materials that we currently use. Please rest assured we are always experimenting and searching for more sustainable ways to do this. Thanks!
“I was not hungry, that's a good thing, actually there were days, when I had to force myself to drink all of them. However, I also haven't lost even 1 pound :(”
“Having these drinks shipped directly to me makes it so easy. Now add in the fact they taste great and you win! I love how easy the entire process from online line order, to delivery (2 days later!) and how easy it is to just grab and go.
Bonus, I lost 6 lbs in 5 days.”
“I did the 5 day protein cleanse. The juices were great tasting. I never felt sluggish or hungry. I only with that the labeling for macros were accurate rather than accounting for net carbs. I mainly did the cleanse to drop a few pounds and that didn’t really happen given the daily caloric intake was more than I thought.”
