Last month I tried a juice cleanse for the first time ever and was quite pleased with the results. I had more energy and lost 5 pounds (mostly water weight from all the sodium I had been consuming). I recommend trying it out for at least 48 hours every few months. I was initially aiming for 72 but by that 3rd day I just needed some texture so I just ate my veggies that night instead of drinking them. I used this page on the Modern Honey website as my guide but you should use whatever fruits & veggies you normally enjoy eating, and change it up for each meal. My girl, Destiny, gave the great advice to just drink one whenever you feel hungry, so anywhere from 3-7 per day depending how big they are. The key is to get enough veggies with your fruit and blending the two together is a great way to do that.
I started the day with warm water and lemon and tried to drink 96 ounces of water throughout the eat. By day two, my body started to cleanse itself. It felt great to put my mind to something I thought would be extremely difficult and not only get through it but feel so good after. I’m going to try doing it again at least every few months and gradually get to a once a month cadence. I made all of mine at home which is so much cheaper than buying the pre-made ones. It’s healthier too since a lot of the ones you buy have added sugars or sodium. Keep Calm & Juice on.
