Juice Cleanse Do’s & Don’ts

Can I eat fruits or vegetables during the cleanse?

Yes. Any fruits and vegetables are allowed during a cleanse. One thing you have to keep in mind is the more fruits and vegetables you consume the higher the calorie intake is. This means that if you goal is weight loss, your results will not be as good if you were to just drink the juices. Always remember to hydrate yourself, whether or not you will be eating fruits and vegetables.

When should I start and finish the juices each day?

There is not one answer for this, because everyone has a different schedule. Ideally you want to have you first juice roughly an hour after you wake up. First thing when you wake up is to have some warm water to get the digestion started. Our bodies digest these juices relatively fast so having your last juice 1-2 hours before going to sleep is ok. The most important thing when doing a juice cleanse is to listen to your body. Everyone is different so do what works for you.

Can I drink coffee or tea during the cleanse?

Yes you can drink tea. We recommend detox tea or green tea, but black tea is okay too. If you are a regular coffee drinker then it is okay to drink some coffee. However it is advised not to use any dairy or sweeteners.

If you are decided not to consume and caffeine at all and are experiencing severe headaches, we advise you listen to your body and have some tea/coffee to see if the headache goes away.

Can I eat a salad during a juice cleanse detox?

Yes. A light salad once a day is okay. However we recommend you go very light on the dressing, better yet don’t use it at all. But if you have to, extra virgin olive oil is a healthy option.

 

How many juices should I be drinking each day?

Whether you are doing a 3, 5 or 7 day cleanse the amount of juice bottles to consume each day is 6. However it is okay if you drink an extra juice one day and the next day you drink one less.

How much water should I be drinking during the juice cleanse?

Water intake depends on your body weight. It is very important to always stay hydrated even if you are not doing a juice cleanse. Humans are 70% water so it’s crucial that we always rehydrate ourselves. We recommend you drink 2-3 quarts a day to help flush the toxins out of your system.

What should I eat before the juice cleanse?

One day before the cleanse we recommend that you eat wholesome foods and try to avoid:

Meat, Poultry Processed Starches, Dairy & Eggs. Instead we recommend fruits, raw or steamed vegetables salad with apple cider vinegar as your dressing, raw almonds and smoothies.

 

What should I do during the cleanse?

During the juice cleanse detox you will be drinking 6 different juice bottles a day along with 2-3 quarts of water. Make sure to give your body plenty of rest/sleep. Your body will be in a severe caloric deficit so it is completely normal for the first day have low energy levels. If you have to eat, then eat some fruits or vegetables. We advise to keep away from strenuous activity during the juice cleanse.

What should I eat after the juice cleanse?

Now that you have supercharged your body, it’s time to make sure you maintain the progress. We recommend you start by introducing gentle foods for the first 2 days like smoothies, salads, veggies, fruits and soups. After that go ahead and re-introduce food like poultry, fish and whole wheat rice. Always remember to control your portion size and include greens with each meal.

 

What should I do if I feel sick during the juice cleanse?

If you start feeling sick during the cleanse we advise you stop the cleanse and freeze the juices for a later time. It is very important to follow the pre cleanse instructions to get your body ready for the cleanse. The symptoms you might experience are headaches and stomachaches, if you feel very sick we advise you contact your physician.

Can I do a juice cleanse while pregnant or breastfeeding?
We do not recommend doing a juice cleanse why pregnant or breastfeeding. While on a juice cleanse you are lowering your daily caloric intake by more than 50%. When you are pregnant you should be eating at a surplus because you have to eat for 2. So it is best not to do anything that will lower your caloric intake while being pregnant. However just drinking the juices as a snack is completely fine. These juices are made from healthy fruits and vegetables. (We are not medical professionals and can’t by law give advice, if you would like to know more about this topic we suggest you speak with your physician)
Does freezing destroy the nutrients and enzymes in the juices?
Freezing slows the enzyme activity, but does not destroy it. As long as the juices are frozen as soon as they are bottled there will not be any loss of nutrients. And this is exactly what we do at Raw Fountain. Once the bottle is capped it goes into the freezer!
