IF YOU KNOW ME PERSONALLY, YOU KNOW I'M THE WORLD'S WORST DIETER! SERIOUSLY.. I CAN'T EVEN TELL YOU HOW MANY VACATIONS, OCCASIONS AND EVENTS COME AND GO THAT I PLAN ON TRIMMING DOWN FOR. UNFORTUNATELY, MY WILLPOWER TO RESIST GREAT FOOD IS SLIM TO NONE. (NO PUN INTENDED) ;) I'M SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT WHATEVER "GET THIN QUICK" FAD IS HOT AT THE MOMENT, NEVER REALLY WORKS. THAT'S WHY I'M HERE TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT ABOUT WHAT JUICE CLEANSING WILL AND WILL NOT DO FOR YOU. ALSO, HOW TO SET YOURSELF UP FOR THE BEST POSSIBLE OUTCOME IF YOU DO CHOOSE TO COMPLETE A 1,3 OR 5 DAY CLEANSE.
SCENARIO: I WAS THE MAID OF HONOR IN MY BEST FRIENDS WEDDING LAST WEEKEND. LIKE I MENTIONED BEFORE, I HAD HOPED TO LOOSE WEIGHT BEFORE THE WEDDING, BUT DUE TO A BUSY SUMMER SCHEDULE FULL OF TRAVELING AND WORKING LONG HOURS IN BETWEEN, THAT NEVER HAPPENED. IT WAS CRUNCH TIME. ENTER THE JUICE CLEANSE.
IDEALLY, 3 DAYS BEFORE A JUICE CLEANSE IT'S BEST TO START RIDDING YOUR BODY OF SODA, ALCOHOL, FRIED FOODS, EXCESS SUGAR.. ETC. DID I DO THIS? NO. DO I REGRET IT? YES. DAY ONE OF MY CLEANSE WAS COMPLETE HELL. I WAS STARVING, WEAK, TIRED, AND SUPER SENSITIVE. I CRAVED GOING TO BED BECAUSE THAT MEANT I WAS ONE DAY CLOSER TO BEING DONE WITH THIS 3 DAY, ANTI- FOOD HELL WE CALL A "CLEANSE". DAY 2 OF MY 3 DAY CLEANSE SEEMED MUCH EASIER BECAUSE I WORKED 12 HOURS IN THE SALON THAT DAY, SO I WAS WAY TOO BUSY TO EVEN THINK ABOUT EATING. THAT DAY I NOTICED MY ENERGY HAD RETURNED AND I DIDN'T EXPERIENCE A MID DAY "CRASH". I ALSO NOTICED MY FACE START DE- PUFFING, RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES! I THOUGHT IT WAS ALL IN MY HEAD BUT EVEN MY BEST FRIEND NOTICED! DAY 3 I WOKE UP AND DIDN'T FEEL UP TO EXERCISING. I FELT A BIT QUEASY WHICH TURNS OUT IS NORMAL DURING THE CLEANSE PROCESS BECAUSE YOUR BODY IS RIDDING ITSELF OF ALL THE TOXINS. THIS IS WHY ITS CRUCIAL TO DRINK AS MUCH WATER AS POSSIBLE DURING YOUR CLEANSE. AGAIN, I WENT TO WORK AND WAS ABLE TO FOCUS ON SOMETHING OTHER THAN EATING. BY THE END OF DAY 3, THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE I NOTICED PERSONALLY WAS MY SKIN. MY COMPLEXION WAS SMOOTHER AND MUCH BRIGHTER. I DEFINITELY FEEL LIKE I HAD THAT POST CLEANSE "GLOW" THAT YOU HEAR ABOUT. IN THE END I HAD LOST 2 LBS WHICH I KNOW ISN'T MUCH, BUT LIKE I MENTIONED EARLIER, THAT'S NOT THE PURPOSE OF A CLEANSE, AND THAT'S WHY JUICING SHOULDN'T BE VIEWED AS A "FAD". THE PURPOSE OF A CLEANSE IS TO RID YOUR BODY OF BUILT UP TOXINS, AND FLOOD YOUR SYSTEM WITH THE NUTRIENTS AND ANTIOXIDANTS WE OFTEN DON'T RECEIVE IN OUR DAY TO DAY DIETS. LET A JUICE CLEANSE BE THE FIRST STEP IN YOUR COMMITMENT TO EAT CLEANER, GREENER, HEALTHIER FOODS. I TRULY FEEL IT'S THE BEST MOTHOD TO RID YOURSELF OF EXCESS WATER AND GET THAT NECESSARY GLOW WE ALL CRAVE BEFORE AN EVENT!
FOLLOWING YOUR CLEANSE, IT'S RECOMMENDED TO SLOWLY REINTRODUCE SOLIDS BACK INTO YOUR DIET. CONSUME LOT'S OF FRUITS AND VEGGIES, CHICKEN AND FISH, EGGS AND YOGURT, THINGS OF THAT NATURE. OLD HABITS DIE HARD AND CHANGING YOUR LIFESTYLE WILL REQUIRE WILLPOWER. REMEMBER YOU'VE JUST WORKED YOUR ASS OFF TO FEEL AND LOOK AMAZING, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY YOU'VE PROVED TO YOURSELF THAT YOU HAVE THE STRENGTH AND CONTROL OVER YOUR MIND AND BODY.
