Im quite EXCITED, leh!

So, what is a Juice Cleanse?

It is a certain period of time when all you typically consume are only liquids,- specifically water, herbal teas, (no caffeine) fresh fruit and vegetable juices or strained vegetable broth. -- source : Mindbodygreen

Reasons for doing the Juice Fast

Juice fasting is ideal for cleansing the body of toxins and aiding with weight loss. It's also a healthier type of detox than a simple water fast, especially for people new to fasting, as your body is still receiving high quantities of vitamins and nutrients. -- source : wikihow

Why am I doing it?

I have always wanted to try a Juice Cleanse but I wasn't looking to simply 'lose weight' or just trying to drop the pounds (although that'll be totally welcomed) - instead I wanted to detox my system and kick start a lifestyle change in eating habits, like trying to cut down on toxins and red meat especially. Although I dun eat alot of meat, I really look forward to the day when I can go totally non-meat but so far it's really not easy! In addition, I know that improper Juice Fasting might cause more harm to the body instead of good hence I didn't dare to try it or advise people jumping into it without proper guidance or prior knowledge. When UpdogStudio was offering the Detox and (optional) Juice Cleanse program - I readily signed up for both because I know if I wanted to do it,- I'll do it the right way under the supervision of my experienced teachers.

I'll be recording my Detox Journey so wish me luck! 

In the meantime, here are a couple of tips that I've gotten online in preparation for my Juice Cleanse Program.

Tips for Pre-Juice Fast Cleanse

Upholding a healthy, light diet 3 days before your juice cleanse will ease the hunger cravings during the juice cleansing. 

Avoid alcohol,caffeine, sugar, processed foods, dairy, red meat and gluten.

During 

For an optimal juice cleansing experience, make sure you have the free time to reflect and rest. Do not attempt a Juice Cleanse during a particularly stressful period, or a transitional time or if you are ill or pregnant.

Attitude

Set an intention for your juice cleanse. An intention is a commitment to changing a part of your life that no longer serves you. What do you want to create through your juice cleanse? 

Hopefully I'll get through it in one piece! 

Thanks for looking and I'm working on another post so do check back soon! Take care, y'all! xo
