Juice Cleanse

A few weeks ago Nate brought up the idea of a juice cleanse, I had heard of them before but never gave them serious thought. Mostly because I thought I did not have the disciple to go three days with only juice. We did some more research, looked further into it, and decide we should give it a go. (When I say we decided to go on the cleanse I should specify that my husband was so hype about it and I wanted to join along and prove I could to it to, but was mostly terrified.)

So in this blog I am going to write down all the recipes of the juices we made and the times we drank them, as well as extra tips and things I wish I would have done!  Lets get started. Prayers 2K18.

THINGS I WISH I WOULD HAVE DONE

• Prepped before!! Wow oh wow do I wish I would have done this. In more of my reading I realized that people highly recommended going on a completely plant based diet (with food) for a few days before you go into the juice cleanse. Depending on your current eating habits, doing a plate based diet for either two days before, or even a whole week before to prevent getting really sick during your cleanse. Thankfully I only experienced headaches during my cleanse, a factor from the clean break from sugar during those few days, but at times people get very ill – so its extremely important to listen to your body and prep accordingly.
• Branched out on the recipes. I loved the ones I made, but on day three I was really excited to be done with it all.

 

THINGS I’M GLAD I DID

• DRANK WATER.
• drank more water.
• got lots of sleep.
• peeped and got all the vegetables and fruit before hand, and get LOTS! My total for the tree days of juicing was 30$!
• Eased myself back into food, slowly retraining my body to actual food.

WOULD I DO IT AGAIN

• Yes? But I’ll wait a while before I do it. I love that I can say that I have done this before, my mind feels clearer, my sleep was better, and I feel healthier for sure. However, I do love food food.
