<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nHow Long Should a Juice Cleanse Last?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
There is no right or wrong answer here. Joe Cross, the narrator in Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead performed a 60 day juice cleanse. Many have followed his lead and performed juice fasts of 60 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is no need to do a 60 day juice cleanse to reap the benefits of juicing. You can do a cleanse for as short as 24 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I personally thing a three day juice fast is ideal. You start the fast on Friday and end it on Monday. Try to do your juice fast on a weekend where you don\u2019t have too much going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A juice cleanse will leave you feeling fantastic after it\u2019s over. During the first day or so you will feel groggy and just run down. You may even feel slightly sick. This is caused a \u201cdetox reaction\u201d and is very common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The detox reaction occurs because your body releases a massive amount of toxins into your bloodstream. The juice helps your body rid these toxins (through your sweat, urine, and bowels). You\u2019re \u201ccleaning the pipes,\u201d so to speak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 Tips for a Juice Fast or Juice Cleanse:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
1. Do your grocery shopping ahead of time and always have juices on hand.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re going to buy pre-made juices, buy enough to last you at least 36 hours. If you\u2019re making your own juices with a juicer, make sure you have enough fresh vegetables and fruits to last you 36 hours. Why is it essential to shop ahead of time when doing a juice cleanse?<\/p>\n\n\n\n The worst thing that can happen is for you to run out of juice during your juice cleanse. You will be really hungry and craving junk food. You\u2019ll grab whatever is closest \u2013 which is usually unhealthy stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can make several juices at once and can safely store juices for up to 72 hours in your refrigerator. If you always have a fresh juice waiting for you, you are far less likely to cheat on your juice cleanse. Although it\u2019s not ideal, in a pinch you can use store bought juices like low-sodium V8 and bottled organic carrot juice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Have a large selection of juice recipes to choose from.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You don\u2019t want to get bored by drink the same juice during your juice cleanse. Have a bunch of juice recipes ready. At Fit Juice we have over\u00a0100 free juice recipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Two of our most popular juices at the\u00a0Mean Green Juice\u00a0and the\u00a0Real V8 Juice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Remove the junk food from your home.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOut of sight, out of mind\u201d should be your mantra for your juice cleanse. If you don\u2019t have junk food readily available, you are far less likely to eat it when you get hungry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. Go easy on the exercise.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Exercise is a great way to stimulate your lymphatic system and release toxins from your body. However, a juice cleanse is not the time to start a vigorous exercise regimen. You\u2019ll be tired and worn out during your juice cleanse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Take a brisk walk and\/or do some light bodyweight type exercises like push-ups and bodyweight squats. Jumping jacks and jumping rope are great ways to break a sweat and stimulate the lymphatic system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You do want to exercise because exercise aids the detoxification and cleansing process. You just don\u2019t want to overdo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. Take a warm bath (if you have a bath tub) or a warm shower<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A warm bath or shower will help your body release toxins during your juice cleanse. To make your bath even more effective, add a cup or two of epsom salt to your bath tub. The epsom salt will stimulate your body and encourage it to release toxins. Epsom salt also softens the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A juice cleanse is a great way to get rid of the extra pounds put on during the holidays. If you have juices ready, make a wide variety of juices, and get rid of the junk food: You\u2019ll be far more likely to succeed during your juice cleanse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After the holidays is a perfect time to do a juice cleanse or juice fast.
