How to Prepare

A little preparation leading up to your cleanse will help for a smoother transition and to lessen the detox symptoms that most experience in the first 1-3 days. It is possible to cleanse without any preparation, though be warned the detox symptoms could come in strong depending on your current eating habits. I recommend to begin cleaning up your diet 2-5 days before you begin.

Begin cutting back on caffeine. Cut out packaged and processed foods, sugars and alcoholDecrease or ideally eliminate animal products and begin eating as much whole, plant based, raw foods as possible. (FRUITS!)Up your water intake ideally with lemon or lime or even better begin introducing more fresh juice and coconut waterMake your WHY strong! Why do you want to cleanse? What are your goals? Be clear of your WHY before you begin. This will be your motivation to keep going when the detox symptoms and the cravings kick in.For inspiration watch 'Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead' and 'Super Juice Me'. Both are free on YouTube.

What to expect

Days 1-3 detox symptoms are at their peak so it helps to plan your cleanse at a time when you will be able to rest or take it easy if you need to in those first days. Depending on what your regular eating habits are and how well you prepared for your cleanse will determine how strong your detox symptoms will be. You may experience headaches, aching body, brain fog, sluggishness, moodiness, irritability, flu like symptoms, skin breakouts... or you may experience barely anything. Mostly everyone experiences these at different levels. The caffeine lovers often experience these the heaviest. Whatever your experience is in these first few days, it's important to surrender and trust the process, remember your WHY and know that any detox symptoms you are feeling is because your body is hard at work healing, cleansing and rebuilding each cell.

Our body spends so much energy on digesting food all day every day. When we fast from solid foods, our body redirects its energy towards breaking down and eliminating built up, accumulated toxins and wastes that has been stored in our body for years. To remove them from our system it has to first put the toxins back into circulation to then go through the normal bodily process of complete elimination. This is when we experience detox symptoms. Ultimately, during a cleanse when we experience any detox, we can take refuge in knowing that our body is healing.

From day three your symptoms will begin to fade. You'll feel lighter, your energy levels will rise, you may notice your eyes are and skin are becoming more clear, with your mental clarity and focus becoming sharper.

On an extended fast, these effects that you have already been witnessing will keep on improving plus more! Though remember your body is still in cleansing mode, so every now and then when your body releases stored toxins back into circulation you will experience detox days. Trust in the process. These symptoms will pass once the toxins have gone through the normal eliminating channels and are finally removed from your system, and then you will be back to feeling high on your juice supply!

Tips while cleansing

« All things citrus is highly detoxifying! Start your day with a full glass of lemon or lime water to get your digestive system going

« It's important to help stimulate your lymphatic system. Light exercise like yoga, rebounding and walking are great for this.

« Sweat the toxins out! Our skin is one of our largest detox organs. In Tulum we are so lucky to have an abundant of temazcals available to us. I recommend Botanica. Sweating greatly assists the detox process by getting the lymphatic waste moving out of the body through the skin. If temazcal isn't your thing, a sauna is perfect too!

« If you feel hungry drink a glass of lemon or lime water, coconut water, herbal tea or more juice.

« Eliminate all caffeine! We want to give our system a rest and allow it to rejuvenate. Caffiene puts our system in a state of fight or flight and has everything woking over time, axhausting the adrenals.

« If you can make extra time in your schedule for rest, then rest as much as you feel especially in the first few days. This is when your body gets a chance to really heal.

« Dry skin brushing is another great tool to help stimulate the lymphatic system.

« Colonics and/or enemas can also greatly assist your detox process. If you don’t mind the slight uncomfortableness, they will help in flushing out old waste matter from your colon and intestines. The more of this waste matter we can remove from our body, the greater nutrients our body will be able to absorb and the greater we will feel!

« Space your juices out over the day so you don't allow yourself to go hungry in the evening without any juice left

« We recommend not drinking more than 16oz of liquid each hour. Too much liquid will flood the kidneys and won’t allow them to efficiently flush out the toxins.

« Need some inspiration? Watch ‘Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead’ and ‘Super Juice Me’

« Listen to your body and trust the process. If you need to rest, rest if you can. If you are thirsty or hungry, drink more juice, coconut water, lemon water or herbal teas. If you have energy and want to exercise, then exercise! If one day you feel like drinking less liquids, then drink less. Your body is your greatest guide. Try not to get caught up in your head about what you think you should do. Breathe, listen, trust.

« Combine your cleanse (and your every day) with yoga, breathwork, meditation, movement and nature.

Benefits of Juice Cleansing

The benefits we can receive from juice cleansing are almost limitless but this is not solely credited to juice. Ultimately what juice cleansing does is allow your mind and body the space it needs to heal on its own. The juice provides you with the nutrients, vitamins and minerals to allow you to go about your normal daily life while your body is busy healing and cleansing. Juice cleansing is definitely a physical detox, though the longer you cleanse the more mental and emotional healing also takes place. As one of my dear friends said:

"Reflecting on my day 20 of juice fasting I realise it's not only about the juice, its about breaking from bad habits, addiction to certain fats/processed sugar/salt, creating other habits such as dry brushing which I absolutely love, being aware of my body functions, the importance of the lymphatic system and liver in detoxing the body. I feel like these 20 days created some space & freedom in my mind to be able to increase my awareness. Things that I kind of knew already but was too obsessed with the taste of my food to care how it might affect my body.
It's been proved that it takes more or less 21 days to break an addiction and in that sense I see juice fasting as a real reboot. Once you're done ,the real work begins and you are free to choose with awareness what you want to put in your body."

Some of the common benefits people experience from juice fasting are:

Mental clarity

Improved digestion

Decrease or complete elimination of inflammation

Increased physical energy

Soft and glowing skin

Less cravings - the cleaner our body becomes, the less we crave foods which do not serve us

Reduction and elimination of diseases

Cholesterol and blood pressure balances out

Skin tags and warts disappear - Skin tags and warts are signs that our system is not functioning properly, so when our body begins to heal and clear out toxins and undigested waste matter, then these skin tags and warts naturally disappear

Deeper sleep

Strengthened immune system

Skin has a higher tolerance to sun exposure - The more unhealthy we are, the more sensitive we are to the sun. We were born without clothes for a reason. Though with generations of bad eating habits being passed onto us when we are born plus our own life choices, we have become sensitive to the sun. The more we heal and cleanse our internal body, the more our skin can soak up that pure vitamin D energy without being affected.

Detoxification and the elimination of toxins from your body

Increased mental energy and motivation

Weight loss

Confidence

How to break your fast

It is important to always break your fast with fresh juicy fruits. Juicy fruits are easy for our body to digest and eliminate and are perfect to get the digestive system moving again. How to transition back into solid foods from here depends on how long you cleansed for.

If you cleansed for 1-2 days, reintroducing solid food back into your diet is not going to be much of a shock to your system. Ease your way back into solid food with some juicy fruits and ideally plant based food for the rest of the day for ultimate benefits for your cleanse. Raw salads are perfect to continue with the cleansing effects.

The re-feeding process after a 3-5 day cleanse still won't be too much of a shock on your system however it is recommended to have a whole day on juicy fruits before introducing other raw whole foods the next day. Foods such as smoothies, salads, soups, broths, for the day after you break your cleanse are perfect.

For longer cleanses, it is super important to break your fast correctly so not to cause stress on your body and the digestive system. To calculate how many days you should take to transition back into a solid food diet, divide the number of days you cleansed by 4. This is the number of days you should take to break your fast (the maximum number of days needed is 6-10).

Then divide the number of days you are taking to break your fast into three sections.

Eat 1 meal a day consisting of only one juicy fruit while still incorporate fresh juices.

Eat two meals a day of juicy fruits while still incorporating fresh juices.

Eat 2-3 meals per day. Two meals of juicy fruits and a simple raw salad while still incorporating fresh juices.

During this whole process pay attention and listen to your body. After such a long cleanse you will have a sense of what your body will like and what it will reject. Listen to that! Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly.
