How do I know if this program is right for me?

If you’re feeling sluggish and tired, you need a quick reboot, you need to detox your body, you need to sleep better, you need more energy, and you want to lose a few pounds eating delicious healthy food and juicing, the 3-Day Cleanse is for you! You will need to stick to the daily routine, purchase the recipe ingredients, and make the juices and raw recipes to be successful. If you do not want to try something new and do not want to follow the guidance and routine laid out in the program, the 3-Day Cleanse is not for you. Please consult with your doctor or medical practitioner about whether juicing and juice fasting is a responsible choice for you, particularly if you are being treated for a medical condition or have diabetes. We also do not recommend juice fasting for pregnant or nursing women.

What kinds of recipes are included?

There are recipes for juices, smoothies, salads, soups, and mains. All of the recipes are plant-based (dairy-free, egg-free), gluten-free, and sugar-free.

Do I need a juicer?

Yes, you do need a juicer to participate in the 3-Day Juice Cleanse. If you don’t have one, ask a friend if you can borrow one. You can use a blender to make the juice recipes, and then strain the whole blended juices to remove the majority of the fiber. Some participants do this. However, our juice recipes have been calibrated for a juicer. So, the flavor profiles will vary, particularly with those recipes that contain assertive and pungent ingredients such as leafy greens and beets. We recommend purchasing some additional apple, cucumber, ginger, and lemon to tweak the flavors of your juices made in a blender.

Do I need to use organic produce?

While we recommend organic foods whenever possible (especially during a juice cleanse), you can absolutely participate in the 3-Day Juice Cleanse using conventional produce. If you’re working with budget restrictions, or live in an area with limited accessibility to organic produce, a good approach is to refer to the Environmental Working Group (EWG) website, and using their Dirty Dozen Plus™ and Clean 15™ list to determine where to put the emphasis in choosing organic produce.

How many days does the cleanse take?

Even though the actual juice fast only takes 3 days, we highly recommend using the guidance that is provided in the program materials to prepare your body for juice fasting. To get the most benefits out of the juice cleanse, we recommend taking 1 to 2 weeks to prepare your body for juice fasting for the most comfortable experience. This means, using our clean eating recipes and gradually weaning yourself off caffeine and alcohol to minimize potential detox symptoms. (Going off caffeine and alcohol is just during the two-week cleanse period.) Ideally, we recommend preparing for the juice fast on a weekend, and then start the 3-day juice fast on the following Friday morning (or whatever day leads into your weekend or the period in which you have a regular break), so you will have the opportunity to rest.

Will I be hungry?

Everybody is different. Having said that, most participants report experiencing similar hunger cycles as before the juice cleanse. And, most people are pleasantly surprised that the juices, popsicles, broth, and herbal teas sustain them, and they are satisfied, and comfortable. However, if you are hungry, experience low blood sugar, feel light headed, or require additional calories, we recommend doubling the juices, and having additional popsicles and broth on hand. If you don’t consume this extra food, it can be easily frozen or consumed after the juice cleanse.

Why do I need to do a cleanse?

To achieve better health, we need to cleanse our bodies actively. Critics and skeptics argue that nature designed our bodies to do this for themselves, continuously. True. But we’ve given nature no chance to prepare for and adjust to the myriad of changes we’ve wrought on our environments and brought about in our habits. A barrage of toxins comes at us non-stop from pollutants, processed foods and additives, stress, prescription drugs, insufficient exercise, sedentary occupations, and other sources. Since our bodies have not had time to evolve to stand up to this onslaught, they need help, even with the major organs of elimination—the liver, skin, intestinal tract, and kidneys—all on line and at work. By freeing our bodies from overloads of toxins and waste products we get these organs functioning as efficiently as they can. In addition to clearing toxicity, the body needs a rest from digestion. On average, the human body expends 50-70% of its daily energy ration on digesting food. When cleansing and fasting, we give our bodies a bit of R&R, a brief furlough from this non-stop labor, and our systems can devote a greater share of energy to detoxification, healing, and repair.

Why are there four seasonal cleanses?

In addition to our general clean eating recipes, each seasonal cleanses (summer, fall, winter, spring) contains 9 different juice recipes and a new juice popsicle recipe using seasonal produce. We recommend doing a juice cleanse every quarter at the change of each season to reset your body and reboot for the start of a new cycle. Eating in harmony with nature and in keeping with the seasons supports the body’s built-in health and cleansing processes. Foods harvested in the spring (asparagus and greens), promote detox after winter, while foods grown in the summer (berries, melon, and cucumber) help to cool the body and keep you hydrated. In the colder months, warming root vegetables help to strengthen and sustain your body. By eating local, seasonal produce, you support your body’s natural rhythms, as well as sourcing fresher, better-tasting food, and supporting your local farming communities.

Why is juice fasting beneficial?

After leading over 30,000 participants through juice fasts, we have found that juicing is a nice middle ground for the majority of people. Juicing is a well known practice, is not extreme, and is fun! Juice fasting allows a more gentle detox experience so that you can experience the benefits of fasting in a more comfortable way. Our juice fast has been strategically designed to deliver concentrated nutrients and enough calories to fuel your body and support the detox process. Juice fasting can be safe and effective practice (consult your doctor if you have a medical condition), and we’ve seen thousands of people experience its benefits. Our participants report simply feeling better, to improving a variety of health issues such as headaches, high blood pressure, blood sugar levels, sinus problems, skin conditions, and digestive discomfort. Many people also report better sleep, a tremendous increase in energy, improved digestion, greater mental clarity, fewer aches and pains, and more stabilized moods. People of diverse beliefs also say they experience a spiritual reconnection and clearer purpose and intention.

Will I lose weight?

Everybody is different. Factors like diet, age, gender, body size, muscle mass, genes, hormones, environment, drugs, and physical activity influence metabolism. How much weight you will lose on the 3-Day Cleanse will vary. But, weight loss is a common result of the cleanse. If you don’t have extra weight to lose, your body will naturally recalibrate after you finish the juice cleanse.  We prefer to focus on gaining health and exploring new ideas, rather than on losing weight or giving up favorite foods. To gauge the effectiveness of your cleanse as it’s going forward, look for subtle shifts in your body, like more energy, deeper sleep, more regular digestion, clearer/softer skin, mental clarity. During a cleanse, some of the weight loss, about 2-4 lbs. is often water weight and colon matter that will return once you complete the cleanse. The typical average sustainable weight loss reported from participants is approximately 1/2 lb to 1 lb per day if you have extra weight to lose.

Can I exercise during the cleanse?

Detoxification uses a lot of energy, and your body goes through quite a number of changes, so we recommend resting and sleeping as much as possible during the 3-Day Juice Cleanse. If you push yourself during a juice fast, you will take energy away from your body’s natural detox process and may hinder the benefits. Even if you maintain a regular workout routine, we advise against intense exercise. And, instead, we recommend more moderate movement such as walking, stretching, rebounding, and yoga to support the lymphatic system and aid better digestion and elimination. Take a break from running, cycling, lifting weights, or other strenuous activity during the cleanse. Allow extra time during the cleanse for rest, retreat, reflection and rejuvenation.

Can anybody do a juice fast?

No, While juice fasting is a safe and healthy practice for the majority of people, we don’t recommend it for those with critical heart conditions, diabetes, or cancer (especially those actively undergoing oncology treatments). Fasting is unsafe for pregnant or lactating women, too. And, juice fasting is not appropriate for children. Cleansing (clean eating, not juice fasting) is beneficial for almost everyone. Please consult your doctor or healthcare practitioner before participating in the 3-Day Cleanse, particularly if you have existing medical conditions or concerns.

What if I am being treated for a medical condition?

Please consult with your doctor or medical practitioner to determine whether the 3-Day Cleanse is appropriate for you.

What if I am pregnant or nursing?

We do not recommend pregnant and nursing mothers participate in the cleanse.
