“I've never done a juice cleanse before and I was a little scared to try it because I am one of those people that literally needs to eat multiple times a day. I bought a 3 day cleanse and only did two days (beginner) and during that time frame, I would also eat a raw veggie or fruit, in addition to an egg or some salmon as a protein in fear that I would feel faint. I probably didn't even need the protein as it seemed to be pretty filling - and even with the added food to my juices, I lost 3.5 pounds in two days!”
When focusing on the idea of taking in more sugars or carbs (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. I hope this makes you feel better about the sugar content and how it is different while cleansing :)
“I absolutely loved my 3 day cleanse! It helped my body detox and reset for the New Year. I try to do one at least once or twice a year. Your body deserves it!”
“I was hoping to be pleased with the taste of the drinks and honestly was blown away. Loved every flavor, impressed with all the guidance provided and when I did call to ask questions the staff was awesome. Truly impressed. I just made my next order and can confirm you've created a new, loyal customer.”
“I was very excited to try this cleanse only to be super disappointed. Not only did my box take almost two weeks to arrive but only a 2 out of the 4 juices I received were consumable (the taste was horrible) also I don’t feel like the cleanse did much for me. Stuck to the pre cleanse and cleanse rules. I won’t purchase again. I’d rather make my own juices from home.”

“This 5-day cleanse was awesome! I lost 13lbs and was really not even that hungry despite only ingesting about 650 calories a day. This means, the ingredients must be spot on! Arrived frozen and in a timely manner. The only change I would make is they take longer than 24 hours in the fridge to thaw. I had to set them in the counter most of the day. Aside from this, they tasted great (different flavors throughout the day) and I would HIGHLY recommend!”
