Hello! My friend contacted me a few days ago asking if I would like to do the juice cleanse with her. Just wondering of anyone has done it before, and if they noticed a good change afterwards?
FYI - the juice cleanse is essentially a 3-day juice-only diet which is supposed to remove toxins and waste from the body.

Thanks!! :)

    I don't believe in cleanses and don't recommend them either. Why would you want to deprive your body of essential nutrients to supposedly rid it of toxins? Waste and toxins, so another words you're going to be spending extra time on the toilet.... Why would you feel good after drinking nothing but juice for 3 days? How about eating clean? That's a more health conscious choice. I would encourage your friend to join you at a heath food supermarket where you eat nothing but organic produce, grass fed meats, and food free of high fructose corn syrup and other nastiness. That's the change I made in my life and I feel awesome. I'm not mistreating my body in an effort to feel better, I'm feeding it healthy food. Once in awhile I'll cheat and I can definitely feel my body not wanting it.

    how do you do a juice fast without going broke? seems like it'd be much more produce than normal.

    Yeah I noticed a difference, migraine headaches and blood on the toilet paper from juicing out the other end.

    Hmm okay! I've also been thinking about doing Body bi Vi or Shakeology, both of which offer more bang for your buck, haha. I'm not too big on only drinking juice for 3 days, I think I'd rather have shakes.

    Thanks for all the info :)

    I wasn't really into it, btw... haha it was mostly my friend asking if I'd want to do it.
