7 Day Juice Cleanse Plan With Detailed Guide
As we have said before, juicing is a great way to add nutrients such as vitamins and minerals to your daily intake. In today’s article, Kerri Ann Jennings will share with you all the things that you need to know, from losing weight by juicing to what you should do during the juicing as well as a 7 day juice cleanse plan. Let’s get started!
Can I lose weight by juicing?
There is lots of news about losing weight by juicing, known as the juice cleanse to detox. However, we highly recommend you not only drink juice. The most important thing in every type of diet is eating, so even if you try the drinking juice method, you still need to eat healthy meals. If you only drink juice for a long time, it is reported that you would miss important and necessary nutrients, such as protein and fat. Once you get into the full juice cleanse, your metabolism will slow down.
So, the answer to losing weight with juice is yes, but it is not totally healthy if you are a newbie. We still recommend you add meals to your juicing plans. One of the solutions you can get along with is adding veggie-packed fresh juice to your daily intake. In that way, you are not only not missing any important nutrients (since you still eat) but you are also closer to your weight loss goal.
Who should take a 7 days juice cleanse plan?
Well, almost everyone can try the 7 day juice cleanse plan. Young and old, work-out or not work-out, anyone can try the 7 day juice cleanse. However, it is not recommended for people who are pregnant or nursing, who are under 18, or have some medical condition/ on medication or treatment. If you are one of those cases, make sure to ask your doctor before starting juicing, especially a 7 day juice cleanse plan.
What should you prepare before the juice cleanse?
So, once you have made a decision of drinking juice or trying a 7 days juice cleanse plan, you must prepare yourself carefully. Here are the instructions for juicing notes from Blueprint, a famous juice brand. Let’s take a closer look!
Three days before the 7 day juice cleanse plan
Begin by cutting out caffeine, sugar, refined carbs (bread, white rice, and pasta), meat, dairy, and alcohol from your diet. For each meal in your day, increase the consumption of fresh fruit, greens, and vegetables.
During the cleanse
While you are taking part in the juicing cleanse, you might need to follow these rules. They are simple, for sure, but you need to make them into your daily habit for 7 days.
- Maintain hydration by drinking at least eight glasses of water every day.
- Go for yoga or gentle walks instead of your typical training program. It means that you should take part in a low-impact workout, don’t push yourself too hard in a high-impact workout.
- Meditate to improve your general feeling of calm and alertness. If you do not know about the effects of meditation, you can refer to it: Effects of meditation
- Get some additional rest. Make yourself sleep more than usual.
- Make juice at home according to the recipe.
After the juicing cleanse
The next seven days after the juicing cleanse are very important. For the best result as well as not making you lose energy, here are some instructions you need to follow:
Day 1 and day 2
Foods rich in water content such as fresh water-based fruits and vegetables with low density should be consumed. Some food we can mention would be:
- Water-based fruits: Melon, Papaya, Citrus
- Veggies: Celery, cucumbers
Day 2 to day 5
With low-density meals still being consumed, more fibrous foods such as non-starchy vegetables are highly recommended. Non-starchy veggies could be: cucumber, tomatoes and bell peppers
Day 5 to day 7
More “dense” foods are now available for your daily consumption. You might wanna prepare some starchy vegetables, whole grains, and some protein to add to your daily meal. Back to normal!
- Lightly cooked starchy veggies could be: yams, winter squash
- Whole grains: brown rice, barley, quinoa
- Protein: Fish (steamed or poached), grilled chicken breast.
