Cleanses have been proven to be more harmful than helpful. They totally mess with your digestive track [um ewww] and you gain everything back when you start eating again. If you really wanna try juicing, I would say, just replace one meal with a juice during the day and see how you feel. <br /><br />xoxoP!nkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10193703533246466440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-613539467899219867.post-26969366317549516262012-10-16T11:28:22.319-04:002012-10-16T11:28:22.319-04:00Here's Chrissy Teigen's take on it [http:/...Here's Chrissy Teigen's take on it [http://sodelushious.com/2012/10/15/i-know/] and I am obsessed with her so I tend to agree. <br /><br />Also, because I am not a highly paid Sports Illustrated model nor am I John Legend's fiancee - I would totally copy their recipes and make my own juices.

But they also told me they spent most of the three days on the toilet. But if you are going to do it, DONT buy it full price. <br /><br />The 3 and 5 day are almost always on Groupon. They've been on this summer at least 4 times. I would bet that they will run it again in January (and maybe right after Thanksgiving) as a way to cleanse away holiday food.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17278706046539086454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-613539467899219867.post-278530674553420712012-10-11T09:36:08.338-04:002012-10-11T09:36:08.338-04:00It's weird.

I've never done that stuff but my sister-in-law advocates colonics once in a while to literally clear your shit out. <br /><br />I learned to love good tea and although it's not for cleansing, there are great loose leaf teas to help with detoxing (white), digestion (oolong), and curbing your appetite (mate). It's really great and when made properly actually tastes good-- I PROMISE. (I was a "Tea Barista") <br /><br />Finally and completely unrelated-- I was in Santa Monica on the Promenade the other day and saw Jenna Marbles & Max too!!!

One or two cups is fine with the other crap (vegetables) that's also in there. Or you can buy cheaper greens like spinach or something. Juices I don't understand anyways...it's still just sugar really your putting in your body.

We followed it to the letter and both had horrible stomach pains and various digestive issues for weeks afterwards. We both eat very clean diets--nothing processed, minimal treats, organic, veggies with every single meal- we approached the detox as an opportunity to re-set. Bad, bad bad idea.

I picked up a hamilton-beach big mouth juicer for 53 bones, and can make whatever I want in my own home. I watched the documentary "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" (available on netflix insta thing) and although I didn't go full granola with only juice for 10 days, I do juice once or twice a day. It's made a huge difference in my mood, energy, skin and weight. Also, I spend about $20 for enough organic veggies to juice me for a week. In addition, juicing beets will turn your bowel movements into watching tv in color and that's fun for everyone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-613539467899219867.post-91836275237518958162012-10-10T14:34:56.962-04:002012-10-10T14:34:56.962-04:00I'm with with Gayla and Jenna.

Second, your mom's comment is too cute. Third, compliments aside, if it's healthy, go for it, but you totally could do it yourself probably for way less money. I did a radio tour for an author with a program like this and I was sold by the end of the day (listening to 23 interviews will do that I guess)! The juices actually sound like they might taste good too (if that's possible??)

I make the dr oz green drink all the time for breakfast, and 6c of kale really isn't that expensive! You feel refreshed and healthier after just a few sips haha, I add parsley and spinach to all of our smoothies too and even ginger, they boys even love it.

I think in theory it is a good idea, but after 3 days of drinking only juice, you will probably want to kill someone. I did a 2 day juice cleanse before a Vegas trip once, and although it wasn't a healthy one like this, it WAS a "lose 10 lbs of water so you fit into that sleazy ass dress" cleanse. It worked. I thought I was going to die. I swear to you I felt my stomach eating itself.
