What to Do BEFORE You Detox?

Consult your doctor

Should you be on any chronic medication, have any pre-existing medical conditions, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding please check with your doctor that it is safe for you to do a detox cleanse. Detox cleanses should not be done by young children or the very elderly, diabetics, people with advanced kidney, heart and liver problems and people with a history of eating disorders.

Reduce current food intake

1-2 days before you start your juice detox, eat light meals made up of fruit and veggies and very small meat portions, try a little fish if possible. This will help get your body ready for the cleanse. Avoid sugar, processed foods and dairy.

‘Hey, I’m not going to eat for 3-7 days so I’m going to grab a burger, a bottle of wine and pick up a box of choccies on the way home.” Do NOT do this…you need to ease into a cleanse and prepare your body or your first day will be hell. Start eating clean a few days before your cleanse.

Hydrating is also very important. So, drink up! We recommend at least 1 litre of water per 25kg of weight i.e. If you weigh 75kg = 3 litres of water

Eliminate substances where possible

If you are doing a 3 Day cleanse, try to avoid all caffeine, alcohol, cigarettes, or any other harmful/illegal substances at least 24 hours before you start your cleanse. Should you be doing a longer cleanse, it is advised that you do this for at least 3 days before you start.

What to Do DURING the Detox?

Drink warm lemon water

You can have this in between each drink. This is a great liver tonic and it helps begin the cleansing process before you even take a sip of that first juice. Once getting into the habit of having it during your cleanse, you might find that it is something that you want to continue to do after your detox. In addition to drinking your water allocation, we have also included herbal teas into your detox plan.

Stay hydrated

Being hydrated is one of the best things you can do for your body, as water is necessary for all basic functions, and we naturally lose about 2 litres a day. Many common ailments like lack of energy, headaches and hunger pangs are actually signs of dehydration, so drink up for better health.

Exercise

While listening to your body, exercise promotes circulation, helps boost your metabolism and is a great way to connect with your body during your detox. Your energy levels can change and be a bit unpredictable during a detox. Gentle yoga, Pilates or a relaxing run will be great to get the endorphins going. Plus, you won’t go into shock afterwards if you keep exercising during your detox. You may want to limit yourself to light exercise like walks, yoga, and stretching. Even 20-30 minutes in the day can have amazing benefits to your health. The most important thing is for you to pay attention to your body and what it needs.

Stay consistent

Aim to drink a juice every 2 hours. To drink 6 juices a day might sound like a lot but if you space your juices out over 10 hours, your body will thank you. Do not skip your juice as it will likely leave you feeling hungry and can result in a drop in your blood sugar, which can leave you feeling lethargic and maybe even give you a headache.

Reflecting

Fresh Juice is about more than “a detox”. We promote health and wellness of the mind, body and spirit. A detox can help you connect with yourself on a much deeper level than you might have realized. Meditation and journaling about your day are great ways to allow the mind and body to relax.

What to expect during your Detox

The following side effects may occur in some individuals whilst on a detox. If you are experiencing any severe side effects, it is recommended that you stop the detox and/or consult your doctor.

Side effects can include:

headaches
fatigue
difficulty thinking
moodiness
nausea
stomach cramps
diarrhoea
sleep disturbance
dizziness
bad breath

AFTER Your Detox

Celebrate

After your 3, 5 or 7 days detox, celebrate what you’ve accomplished. Once you have completed your juice detox, you should be very proud of yourself for finishing. It’s an accomplishment… OWN IT!

Diet

Your tummy would have shrunk so…carry on with light meals… Day 1 - Eat fruit and veg only. Day 2 - Add brown rice & protein like eggs, fish and full fat yoghurt Day 3 - small portions of fish, chicken or meat with salad or soup. Ease into solid foods after you have completed the plan. You may want to carry on with a juice here and there as part of your new eating habits.

Maintain

You have done phenomenal work over the past few days. Your challenge is to maintain your new found healthy way of life with regular cleansing & to make healthy eating part of your exceptional & lifestyle. Perhaps you want to incorporate regular detoxes into your week or month, or want to try a longer cleanse next time? Perhaps you have connected with your mind, body and spirit and want to know more about this area of your life?
