“This juice cleanse was great! Most of the juices tasted good, and I loved that I was able to eat raw fruits and veggies while cleansing. It kicked off my healthy eating in a big way and I am down 10.5 lbs since the cleanse 2 weeks ago. I have recommended this cleanse to several and have multiple friends who have purchased it as a result.”
“I'm writing this from the perspective of someone who is already a very clean eater-- if you jump into this juice fast from a place of typically eating lots of processed sugar and foods, and lots of sugary drinks, maybe you'd experience better results. Personally, this just didn't work for me. There is SO MUCH natural sugar in these juices (like 20+ grams per bottle) and even though it breaks down in your body in a healthier way, that's still an insane amount of sugar. It made me full on sick (like I thought I had strep throat, but just had a terrible cold because bacteria thrives in sugar)-- after talking to my doctor I decided to quit after three days and I switched to a vegetable broth fast (same idea, just with zero sugar). As soon as I did, my body immediately started to feel so much better. I think the bottom line is that if you are not used to processed foods/sugar, and don't drink sugary drinks to begin with, then this fast is a terrible idea and a step in the wrong direction. Personally I found the results much better when I stopped drinking juice and decided to stick to organic, no sugar/salt added veggie broths instead. Super disappointing, as this was quite a financial committment.”

“I ordered this cleanse without taking too deep a look at the ingredient proportions. Almost every drink has apple juice as a major ingredient, which explains why the drinks are extremely sweet. You’re pretty much running on a sugar high for the entire day. Next time, I will find juices that have only vegetables.”
Hi there, when focusing on the idea of taking in more sugars (even natural ones found in fruits and vegetables), it’s a matter of balancing your macronutrients. On a juice cleanse, you won't be taking in the regular amount of fats and protein you typically would, and so this allows your body to process more carbs— especially without the fiber. The natural sugars in fresh, raw fruit and vegetable juices are accompanied with a very high nutrient and antioxidant content as well as naturally occurring compounds that slow the rate at which sugar enters the bloodstream, preventing blood sugar spikes associated with weight gain.
Weight loss is common on a juice cleanse as a result of two factors:
The concentrated influx of nutrition. Often our bodies cling to fat when our diets lack adequate plant-based nutrition. Juice floods your body with the nutrition it craves and the enzymes it needs. Your body quickly recognizes that the famine is over and starts burning stored fat.
Giving your digestive system a break allows your body to more effectively detoxify itself, resulting in weight loss.
“The juice flavors are excellent, made even better by not having any added sugars. I feel lighter than ever by replacing a meal a day with one of these bottles. Will go up to replacing 2 meals a day soon.
Customer service was quick to answer all of my questions. They went above and beyond to make sure I had the information I needed on their products and cleanses.
Will be ordering more in the future!”
