Tomorrow, the hubs and I will be starting a three day juice cleanse. This is something we have been planning to do for quite some time as a new year's kick off, and a third the way through January is the soonest we could.
If you have researched juicing,
smoothies, and cleanses in general, you know there is a big debate about
the usefulness of any. There are also quite a few arguments out there
about which is worst, better, and best. I am not a dietician and do not
claim one is better than the other or that any can give significant
improvements in health. All I can say is I enjoy the taste of juice and
getting lots of extra healthy veggies in my diet!
Juice cleanses have become popular over the past year, especially with the resurfacing of some documentaries, including Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead- by far, the most popular of any juicing movie out there. In this movie, Joe (juicer extraordinaire) encourages people with massive health issues and overwhelmingly terrible diets to only drink certain juicing recipes for up to six weeks. The results for some of these people is incredible.
We are not doing anything as dedicated as the six week cleanse, but have decided to complete a three day instead. The three day cleanse that we are using can be found here. I am so uber excited to get started on this and share the process and results with you. Next week we will go over some of my favorite recipes from the cleanse, the process, and the good and the bad of it. If you would like to join us for a three day juicing party, go ahead, I would love to hear how it goes for you! We will be starting tomorrow morning and strictly following the recipe guide until Tuesday.
