What can I expect on each day I’m doing a cleanse?Day 1- Feeling a little tired and hungry is normal for the first day. It's just like going back to the gym after taking some time off. These are typical symptoms of your body’s reaction to starting the cleansing process as it begins to shift from processed foods into raw fruits and vegetables. Day 2- As your body continues to adjust you may experience similar symptoms to Day 1, in addition to mild irritability/headache and sweating. If you’re feeling these symptoms, it only means the detoxification is working. An easy way to relieve these symptoms is with a light walk to get your endorphins rushing! Day 3- Today you may be even more sensitive as your body goes into full shock and toxins are flushed further out of your system. The third day tends to be when your body begins to adjust to the cleanse. Now that your body isn’t having to focus on digesting your food, that energy is refocused into deep cleaning and maintaining other bodily functions. The great news is that you will feel less hungry and your energy will increase! Day 4- Toxic chemicals are leaving your body even more now and therefore sensitivity may still be an issue. By this time hunger has completely subsided and certain food addictions are now in the process of being reversed! Day 5- Though certain symptoms may still be present this is the day when your body is exploding with energy! Euphoria sets in and your body begins to completely restart. Your body will now have an enhanced sense of health and well-being. Your skin will glow and your energy level will further increase. Day 6 or beyond- Congratulations! Your body will finally be cleansed and free of toxin build up! Your mind will be clearer, your senses heightened, and your digestive tract clean. You have now balanced your alkaline levels, regulated your digestive tract, and reset your metabolism! Completing a cleanse even once will make it even easier each time you finish! Imagine the sense of achievement and supreme health you’ll feel after enveloping your body with an abundance of vitamins, minerals, and nutritious enzymes.

Will I lose weight on a cleanse?When on a juice cleanse, a certain level of weight loss is to be expected due to the drop-in calories consumed on a day to day basis. However how much weight is lost may vary from person to person. Most tend to experience a greater drop in weight loss with our Skinny Fit cleanse, due to the fact that it is a vegetable based cleanse and therefore has far less sugar than the Classic Cleanse.

Is it safe to work out during a juice cleanse?When doing a juice cleanse, your body is running on much less calories than it’s used to on a day to day basis therefore it’s best to let your body tell you how it’s feelings. If you feel like you can weather a light to moderate work out, go for it!
-
Will I be hungry on a juice cleanse?Some hunger is to be expected while cleansing, however this is normal. Remember, your body isn’t being fed the usual load of processed foods it’s used to so it may take a bit of adjustment. However, if you’re still feeling hungry after you’ve drank your juices for the day, buy another juice! You’ll stave off your appetite without throwing off your juice cleanse. If absolutely necessary, a couple stalks of celery, half a cucumber, or ¼ of an avocado should do the trick.
-
Is it okay to drink store bought juice, soft drinks, or diet drinks while cleansing?"No, the main premise of our cleanses is to detoxify and remove everyday toxins from our body. This would negate the benefits of the cleanse and reintroduce unnecessary toxins back into your body.

And due to the decrease in calories from the cleanse, some weight loss could be expected as well.
-
Are there any instructions to prepare yourself for the cleanse?There aren’t any specific instructions that need to be followed before the cleanse, however if you’d like the transition to the cleanse to be a lot easier, try limiting your diet (Pre-Cleanse) to simply fruits and vegetables in small portions throughout the day.
-
Is there anything I have to do post-cleanse?On the last day of the cleanse you may want to eat anything and everything. This does not mean a trip to Whataburger. It is extremely important to slowly transition back to regular foods. You wouldn’t want to shock your system back to normal foods.

Is it safe to do a cleanse while pregnant or nursing?We don’t recommend doing a juice cleanse while pregnant or nursing due to the fact that the body needs to consume twice as many calories during pregnancy and nursing. A juice cleanse would not fulfill the body's needs during pregnancy nor nursing.
