If you aren’t sure how long your next juice cleanse should be, you’re certainly not the only one (we get this question a lot)! The answer really depends on your unique needs, as no two cleansing journeys are exactly the same. Don’t fret—you’ve come to the right place to figure it all out! We’ve created this handy guide to help you determine how many days you should do a juice cleanse for.
How to Choose The Length of Your Juice Cleanse
When picking the length of your juice cleanse, there are a few key things you need to evaluate and understand first:
- Your personal needs and goals
- The benefits each length of cleanse offers
To set yourself up for maximum success, you will need to make sure your needs and goals align with the cleanse you want to do!
Factors That Influence How Long Your Cleanse Should Be
A big consideration when choosing the length of time to cleanse is your main health goal. Trying to reset after a wild night out? A one day juice cleanse might be all you need. Looking to shed a few pounds or improve your quality of sleep? A longer juice cleanse is best to maximize results. Take a step back and evaluate the main reason why you want to cleanse before diving in head-first.
If you’re brand new to the world of juicing, it’s best to start small and work your way up to longer cleanses. You’ll need to get your body used to the idea of juicing and make sure it’s something you can stick to. On the other hand, if you have a few juice cleanses under you’re belt, you can definitely challenge yourself with a longer cleanse.
Take a glance at your calendar and gauge how busy you will be during your cleanse. If you have lots on your plate, committing to a longer juice cleanse might be tough and you run the risk of disappointment or feelings of guilt if you can’t complete it (although it’s completely possible to
survive a juice cleanse while working!). Set yourself up for success and only commit to a juice cleanse that suits your schedule.
Your lifestyle will play a big part in the length of cleanse you should pick. If you’re a very active person (like a runner or cyclist), a long juice cleanse might not be the best option for you—unless you're willing to commit to some (likely) much needed R&R. When working out intensely, your body needs enough calories and energy to perform. If your lifestyle is in need of some improvement (like unhealthy food cravings or high alcohol or caffeine consumption), a longer cleanse can help you build better habits.
