If you follow me on Instagram you might have seen that I have recently done a juice cleanse. I have heard before about detoxing with juices, but i never had the proper motivation to actually do it!
Until recently when the friendly people from Lieferei contacted me and offered me to try it, i simple couldn't say no! :) and definitely don't regret it!
I would like to share with you my experience, maybe to give you a small kick to do that too! :P
I think first, you should figure out what is the reason for your detox. Is it because of a few kilos that wouldn't hurt to lose or just to cleanse your body from the toxins. Mine was rather the second one. Cause already not drinking coffee, avoiding meat and dairy products for three days is quite a challenge for me and it's a good reason to see how i am gonna feel after that. It's good to set your goals, so that you know what you are aiming for!
Now a bit about the products and the company. Die Lieferei delivered the box right in front of my door, not even waking me up. You simply schedule a day when you want your Detox Box to arrive and there it is! :)
All juices are cold pressed, raw, never heated and of course not pasteurized. The Urban Monkey uses a special high pressure procedure to produce the juices so that they don't lose any vitamins and nutrients.
In the 3 days DETOX Box you get 18 juices (6 per day):
I started my first day with Iron MAN (apple, pineapple, spinach, kale, mint). It tasted delicious and a very smooth consistency, but of course after drinking it out, my stomach was saying thanks for the starter, but what comes now?
But i had to fight it and just focus on my work. I did well for an hour and then had to have the next one - PINE FICTION (apple, pear, pineapple, lime, turmeric, pepper) although you should drink them every 2, 3 hours...but well i got weak :P
I didn't want to avoid doing sports at that time, so i did some yoga, but you should rather take it easy with very intense exercising, since you don't get a lot of calories during these 3 days, you shouldn't exhaust your body too much.
After i had the next juice - MANGO NINJA (mango, orange, carrot, pineapple & ginger) which btw became my favorite one, probably because of my eternal love of mangos ;) i started to feel that my energy level going low and a slight headache is coming up. It is completely normal to feel that way, so don't give up if it happens to you too! I just took a nap at that point and this helped me a lot...but well.. a while later i found myself eating potatoes and salad.
i decided though i will continue the detox just with one meal per day, to satisfy my tummy and not to lose weight, since that wasn't really my aim.
I had SIX & THE CITY juice (pomegranate, apple, coconut water) to brighten my lunch :P (perfect taste for summer days)
and for dinner i served myself the last juice of the day - BEET IT (beetroot, apple, carrot, ginger and lemon).
Remember the first day is always the hardest, so just make it through and then it will be easier! I know i didn't fully stick to the plan, but it s important to listen to your body and do what you feel is right in that moment!
I can say now that i succeeded in not drinking coffee/alcohol for 3 days and as well didn't have any meat or dairy products, what is quite a big thing for me! And i felt very good after doing that!
Last tips for you :
1. Drink lots of water! since it's a cleansing process you need lots of fluids to eliminate the toxins from your body!
2. If you have an urge to chew something, have a few nuts or a fruit, this won't harm your diet!
3. After having all the sweet juices you body is screaming for a salty taste. So what actually Urban Monkey recommends, is to prepare an intense beef or vegetable soup and have a sip once in a while.
4. Use straws while drinking your juices to protect the color of your teeth.
5. Remember as well to choose a good moment for your detox. A few days when you don't have much work to do, when you can have your own time. Try also not to attend any big feasts with your friends, since starring at your friends' meals won't be really helpful!
