Been eating a lot of junk lately, so decided to go on a juice cleanse. Of course there'll always be naysayers that poo poo on the cleanse. Is juice cleanse bad for you? Feel free to get ChatGPT to help you compile that answer. But I will say, since I wasn't feeling great, and in need of a jump start, that did the trick.
So I went to Snap Kitchen and gotten the juice. So, the other time that I did a juice cleanse, the 6 juices included the 'full meal' one, but this round seems like it's not laid out that way. Or maybe it's just Snap.
So let me walk you thru:
8am - Start the day with Super Green it's the lighter of the Greens: spinach, celery, cucumber, lemon
10am - Watermelon - along with pineapple, apple, beet, lime, and lemon
Noon - Tropical Green which is thicker in texture with coconut, pineapple, apple, and spinach
2pm - Carrot Giner with jicama, apple, lime, and turmeric - that adds a little kick to it
4pm - Spicy Citrus - this one kicked my ass - it has pineapple, ghost pepper, turmeric, orange, lemon, and apple. So when you drink it, you don't feel it. It's only when it goes down, your throat wakes up and go, what the hell are you doing to me! Going down also wasn't a problem, but this one was tough to drink. Strange enough, I can take pretty big gulps while drinking it. It's the throat that's very mad at me.
6pm - I did the Trader Joe's Chocolate Almond Protein Smoothie. I knew I wasn't getting much of balanced anything, thought I'd throw in the protein in some form or way.
I also got a Banana & Almond Butter Protein Smoothie, in case I get hungry mid-day. Turned out drinking so much juice it makes you make more trips to the bathroom. But you also want to drink more water, not because the program asked you to, but you want to just to cleanse the pallet.
All things considered, it's not a bad jump start. I will say, just being doing juice and no time to eat, all your time went to going on a schedule and drink water to flush things out too, I did not have any craving for food at all. As a matter of fact, I was down 2 pounds the next day.
I will say this, juice cleanse is not for everyone, and it's ok if one juice doesn't taste good to you. Juice cleanse is meant for a quick jump start, not for long timer diet or lifestyle change. Be sure to do your research and see which program works for you, and for how long.
