Juice cleanse and working out

Hi, I am planning on doing a three day cleanse this upcoming weekend, and I was wondering if it is healthy to still continue my workout schedule. I usually workout three to four times a day and burn 1,000-1,800 calories each day working out. I know that my calories are going to be lower due to only drinking the juices that are listed in this program, and I probably will be lacking on some nutrients needed like protein. Any ideas or advice would be very helpful and appreciated!

I guess everyone is different because when I did a juice cleanse once, I felt absolutely great afterwards! It even helped reduce or eliminate a lot of bad food cravings.
The first day or two on the cleanse I was too tired to really work out. I still exercised but not at the intensity I normally would have. The 3rd day, however, I was feeling rejuvenated and worked out like I normally would have.
BTW -- I did a 5 day cleanse.0 -

This. Eat a well balanced diet and exercise. You'll be healthier than if you do the exercise and engage in the cleanse. Cleanses are a fad. They aren't going to clear your system of mythical toxins (which so far no one has been able to identify on these boards). If you have a legit toxin buildup, that's a matter for your doctor (to check your liver and kidneys) not for glasses of extracted fruit juice.0 -

According to your diary, you are already extremely under eating, why stop now?0 -

In to quote everyone else and say skip the cleanse, it's not helpful and you don't need to be any lower than you already are, and to ask what in the sam hell you're doing for workouts. An 1800 calorie burn? That's my intake for the day. I can get my *kitten* beat for 90 solid minutes in high-impact zumba and barely clear 800-900. It sounds like you're way, way overexercising, if that's an accurate burn.0

Placebo is a hell of a drug.

Why? Your body does not recalibrate after a cleanse. Your body does not have fewer "toxins" after a cleanse. Your body does not jump start after a cleanse. There is literally no benefit to a juice cleanse, unless maybe you have scurvy. Do you have scurvy?0

19 years old, juice cleanse, and working out 3-4 times a day. Hmm I'm going with troll post or nut job. Not sure which. Anyways, in.
Oh, I missed the 3-4 times a day and thought that was per week.
OP, if you're legit, you might have an ED and you need to seek medical advice asap.0 -

To everyone who has respectfully shared your opinions on not seeing use/ health benefits of a cleanse thank you. I truly appreciate your thoughts and will look into it more and probably forgo the idea of doing a cleanse. To everyone who is wondering what I do for working out it is as follows: I run five times a week 45-60 minutes, go to the gym 7 days a week every other day is strength day which includes an hour of cardio( mostly running on the treadmill) and 45 minutes of strength on the other days I do 60-120 minutes of cardio, 6 days a week I do a kickboxing workout DVD, and 6 days a week I do a Jillian Michael's workout DVD. To everyone who decided that this would be a great opportunity to be rude and call me a nut job or a troll, you succeed in making me feel like absolute ****. I am literally in tears as I am typing this, so thank you. By the way I am not sure what my age has to do with anything. A cleanse is probably just as unhealthy/ unrealistic no matter my age. I'm sorry if this seems rude or upsetting to anyone, but I just wanted you to know that your words hurt and kindness is a much better way to deal with anything in life.0

No one called you a troll or nut job, but a lot of posts are concerned that you have an eating disorder given the extreme amount of exercise and low number of calories.0 -
Yeah, looks like straight up disordered thought/eating to me. I've been there, it's not fun. It's not healthy and you're not going to get the body you want through exercise bulimia or whatever your specific deal is. I know some chick on the internet telling you to get help isn't gonna do anything, but when you're ready, please consider it. The sooner you start recovery, the better your chances are.0

I dont know much on the topic, only from a few articles that I have read, and seen people talk on here about them, ive read and seen enough to say it isnt a good idea, I would stick to what you are doing.0

It's probably not healthy for you to be doing this workout schedule while you're eating food, let alone on a juice cleanse.Hi, I am planning on doing a three day cleanse this upcoming weekend, and I was wondering if it is healthy to still continue my workout schedule. I usually workout three to four times a day and burn 1,000-1,800 calories each day working out.0 -
I was you once. I exercised hours a day and under ate. I had an eating disorder. It messed with my brain and my body. I know I wouldn't listen to anyone except my fellow disordered eaters. But if you can, please see a doctor and a nutritionist. You don't want to have the issues that I have now.0

I really didn't see any unkind hurtful words, is there an easy way to tell somebody that they are working out way too much, and not eating enough, and that it is possible that they have an ED, or are on the way to having one? You are eating less than you are supposedly burning from your workouts alone, so add what your body already burns for you to stay alive, and you have a problem.0 -
I do a juice cleanse every few months if I feel I'm depending on caffeine or sugar too much. Please remember any weight you lose is usually temporary.
Saying that, I work out if I have the energy. If I don't have the energy I simply don't work out. Listen to your body.0 -
One of my coworkers did a juice cleanse once. She intended to do it for 5 days, took vacation and everything. 1 day into it she texts me "I'm quitting, I can't stop vomiting and have a massive headache." This is a fairly common occurrence for people on a "cleanse." Headache comes from caffeine withdrawal, vomiting (and diarrhea, usually) from ingesting 10 lbs of produce with all the fiber removed.
Just eat less than you used to eat for an extended period of time and you will have weight loss results, especially if you plan on working out that much. There is no need to cut anything out or add anything in that you really don't like. If you have a hard time saying no to "junk" then keep less of it in the house. Read all the stickies provided on this forum.0 -

Please look in the OPs diary before suggesting she eat less...0 -

Don't listen to the haters. People will say anything on the internet because they're behind a computer screen. They don't know you, so it's not personal.
Best of luck to you!0
