Q: Will food make me sick after my cleanse? A: Juice cleanses are designed to detoxify your body, meaning your body should feel great after! However after every cleanse, it’s important to slowly incorporate simple non-processed health foods back into your diet. If you eat an entire feast after your cleanse, your body will be unhappy. After a cleanse, we advise everyone to eat smaller meals slowly and gradually and to avoid toxin-filled beverages such as alcohol. Q: What will my energy levels be like? A: It's completely normal to feel a bit more tired than usual while on a cleanse, especially for the first day or two. After all, your body is working hard to cleanse itself and some typical detox symptoms are tiredness and a lack of energy. Listen to your body and try to take small naps if you can! As you continue your cleanse you'll find that your detox symptoms will ease and you'll start to feel refreshed and re-energized. Q: Will I get hungry? A: Many cleansers find that they're not overly hungry during a cleanse. Since your body is getting all of the nutrients it needs, you won't be famished. If you find yourself craving food, there are a variety of ways to curb hunger during a juice cleanse. One way is to drink at least 8 cups of water a day. Additionally, many customers enjoy drinking herbal teas to curb cravings. If you’re unsure of what kind of tea would best suit your cleanse, let us know and we can offer suggestions.
