“This was my first experience with juicing. I decided to try it because I had picked up some bad habits and, as a result, gained a few pounds during this difficult time of the global pandemic. I had already put on a few pounds over the previous two years, but the abrupt change in my routine with resulting reduction in physical activity and increase in stress led to too much snacking and overeating in general. I decided to try the 3-day Skinny Cleanse for two reasons: to jump start my weight loss and to reset my relationship with food and eating.
Day 1 was very hard for me and ended with a headache (it may not have helped that I went for a walk in the midday hot sun!). I ate a few bites of sauerkraut at the end of the day, which made me feel satisfied enough so I could sleep (insomnia being another one of the problems I'd been experiencing). After a good night's sleep, Day 2 was MUCH easier. I could already feel my attitudes towards food changing, and I didn't experience any strong cravings. My husband was eating regular food, but it didn't bother me--I even enjoyed smelling the food as he cooked. Day 3 started out fine, but it became progressively more difficult as the hours slowly ticked by. I had a few bites of apple at one point when I felt weak and hungry, and later again had a few bites of sauerkraut. But I was happy at the end of the day that I had stuck to it.
I weighed myself on the morning of Day 1 and again on the morning after Day 3 and found I had lost 3 pounds (from 135.6 to 132.6). Even better than the weight loss was my new attitude towards food an eating. I find that I am now able to forego the snacking I was doing before out of boredom or anxiety. I ate healthy foods until I wasn't hungry, rather than until I was full. And I limited myself to small amounts of only two kinds of snacks: popcorn (popped by myself) and good quality dark chocolate (80-85% cacao). I also started keeping a food diary to get a better sense of what I was eating--this is a temporary measure just to develop mindfulness towards food and eating. These are all habits I had followed several years ago but had drifted away from. I am very happy to be back on track.
Thank you Raw Generation! Your juices helped my reset my habits and rase my awareness of what I was eating. And all 5 of the different juices in the Skinny Cleanse are delicious!”
“I began the 3 day skinny cleanse & although 4 bottles were leaking, customer service was quick to place them. From start to finish minus the 4 bottles, I dropped 8lbs (from 154lbs to 146lbs). I would definitely recommend these high quality juices to anyone serious about starting a cleanse. Mind you, I did not eat anything at all while I was cleansing. Closer to the end I had so much energy & slept better than I have in a long time!”
“Excellent. I don’t even like juice and did not think I could do this but every juice was good, loved sweet greens, and I made it. Follow the instructions and don’t work out on this one. Excited for my next 3 day incorporating protein! I never felt crazy hungry, had a juice every two hours, 6 per day.”
“I purchased the skinny cleanse of one week. The juices tasted pretty good minus the carrot one, but to be fair I hate ginger so I can’t blame the company on that one. I also ~hated~ tarts greens at first, but after a few days it became my favorite! It made me feel so good drinking it first thing in the morning. So about the weight loss: you have to eat healthy right after completing the cleanse or else you absolutely will gain back all the weight (which is what I did!). The second day was the hardest for me, in fact I was so hungry I couldn’t sleep, even after drinking multiple 64 oz of my water bottle. Even though the juices are quite pricey, you have to think about all the fresh produce, the time to make everything, packaging, shipping, etc. The reason why I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because I had read other reviews that stated if you don’t like certain juices you can contact customer support and have them switch it out for a different flavor. I called and was told that I couldn’t replace any for future orders (as I purchased a weekly subscription). So I was very disappointed to say the least. I don’t recommend calling the company, I recommend texting as they respond very quickly this way. Best of luck on your juicing endeavors! :)”
