It is not recommended. Most store bought juice has been processed and pasteurized causing a loss in nutrients. Furthermore, many contain additives which defeats the purpose of cleansing your body of unnatural substances.

Juice detoxifications are designed to rid your body of all unnatural substances including those found in medication. If you are scheduled or planning to take any medication, please consult with your physician.

Many people do on a short juice fast of seven days or fewer. The saved energy from the absence of digestion can be redirected towards working out. However, listen to your body. Some people prefer to give their body a break from exercise or strenuous physical activities during the detoxification process.

No. We provide plenty of juice for your nourishment, but if your body is telling you that you have had enough, please don't feel an obligation to consume it all.

It varies from person to person. People with detoxing experience have been known to detox for several weeks, and even months. However, if you are new to it, you may just want to try 1–4 days. Then give yourself a break, and then try for a longer period next time. It is very important to listen to your body. Please also consult a physician for the proper amount of days to detox.

(Typical results are listed below)
Day 1 – It is similar to the first time back in the gym after taking time off. One day should help get the body back on track. A one-day cleanse is good for maintenance or to sample the program.

Day 2 – For most, the second day is the toughest due to heightened withdrawal from normal eating habits. Two days is also recommended for maintenance or first-timers.

Day 3 – The body typically adjusts. A majority of toxins have been expelled. Many report increased energy, improved sleep, and rejuvenation.

Day 4 – Even greater benefits begin. Cleansing continues deeper, even affecting the skin. Cravings and food addictions begin to subside.

5 days or more – Most people are fully in tune with their body. Long-term habits are more likely to stick. Deeper physiological and emotional benefits are reported, and many feel they’ve achieved a true lifestyle change.

We recommend a gallon a day. Many people commonly mistake thirst for hunger. On a juice cleanse, an unnecessary feeling of hunger can be very unpleasant. Also, many people will feel faint and get headaches when enough water is not consumed.

Weekly, monthly, quarterly... There are no wrong answers. It is up to you and what is best for your body. Again, this is another question that requires a physician's guidance.

We do not recommend this. Doing so would negate the purpose of detoxifying the system of excess toxins. Please remember this is a time to revitalize and heal the body.

For those that will be active and exercising during the detox, the almond mylks is highly recommended as it provides added substance and amino acids to help the body rebuild after physical activity. It also provides added substance for those that are nervous about being hungry on the juice cleanse.

Protein is an important part of our body structure. How it is taken into the body is the important matter to focus on. Amino acids are what the body requires. Plants and fruit have all the required amino acids to build the protein that the body needs. Although it can be used as such, the body does not require protein to make protein—it requires amino acids.

Furthermore, many people consume entirely too much protein. In doing so, the excess protein is stored in the body as fat or toxic waste. That is one major violation of a detoxification. Protein is also the most complex of all food elements, and is the hardest for the body to break down. When too much is consumed, the body expends much energy to break it down and digest it. That is another major violation of a detoxification, and it often leaves the body feeling sluggish.

Think of some of the strongest animals in the world: elephants, horses, buffalo, and gorillas. What do they eat? Vegetation, nuts, and fruit.

• Influx of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients from fruits and vegetables
• Cleanses body of many toxins
• Gives a break from the most energy-consuming bodily function while at rest – digestion
• Deep tissue cleanse and nourishment allows for healthier hair and skin
• Builds self-discipline
• Helps break food addictions
• Helps you become more in tune with your body
• Often reduces overall caloric intake which can help shed excess weight
• Concentrated antioxidants may strengthen the immune system

Listen to your body and eat if it is absolutely necessary. Otherwise, please remember that the main factor of the detox process is to cleanse the system and give it a break from the digestive process.

Beginner Cleanse – Some of these bottles will contain a higher fruit content. Recommended for a beginner as it is much easier on the palate of those that are not accustomed to the taste of vegetable juice.

Intermediate Cleanse – Some of these bottles will contain much higher vegetable content. Some of the included bottles are 100% vegetable juice. Most of these contain less natural sugars due to the lowered fruit juice content. Recommended for those that regularly include vegetables and vegetable juice in their diet.

The only thing recommended is to drink your mylk at the end of your day.

Afterward, continue a healthy lifestyle ensuring enough fruit, vegetables, and fruit and vegetable juice.

Upon completing your detoxification, reintroduce solid food by first eating only raw fruits and vegetables. Afterward, gradually incorporate grains, meat, and dairy products if so desired.

Minimize servings of fried or processed foods. If you are reintroducing them to your system, do so moderately.

Drink plenty of water.

Prepare yourself by eating only raw fruits and vegetables for 1–3 days in order to create a smoother transition to consuming all juice.

Based on your personal preference, we suggest one of the following:

OR

Treat it like jumping into a cold pool on a hot summer day—just jump right in. It may seem unpleasant at the beginning, but the body will adjust.

Pick a time when you will not have to sacrifice major social behavior. For example, the week of Thanksgiving may not be the best choice.

Pick a time when you will remain busy. It has often been said that idle time is the devil’s workshop. The same thought process applies here. Sitting around thinking about eating solid foods is not ideal. Choose a busy week at work, or plan many activities that will keep your mind busy.

Many people do not feel hungry on the juice cleanse. However, if you feel hungry or are nervous that you will, please do not hesitate to add a few more bottles of juice or cashew milk to your juice cleanse if you think you need it. Since the program is nutritionally balanced, feel free to pick from any bottles of juice or cashew milk. Remember, this is not about losing weight as quickly as possible. It is about building the long term habits to feel and look great for a lifetime

We cannot guarantee weight loss; however, many people do lose weight while on our cleanse because of the low calorie count per day (approximately 1100 -1450 calories each detox day).
