Modified Juice Detox
Posted on 02. Sep, 2010 by juice gal in juice detox
For some people the thought of going three days without solid food is scary and maybe even impractical. Food is often associated with comfort and also social situations. A juice detox diet can force us to deal with these situations and that may not be easy for some. You may have visions of starving or being miserable but let me tell you for most people THIS IS SIMPLY NOT THE CASE.
Don’t just give up because you are worried about completing the cleanse. The juice detox program, which means drinking 64 ounces of juice per day, can be modified if you fall into the category above. An occasional piece of fruit, such as an apple or banana can be eaten during the three day diet. Some people choose to drink juice during the day and have a small meal such as rice and steamed vegetables for dinner. This is also acceptable. Keep in mind that these modified plans including solid foods means that your body will be digesting food. Therefore the detox rate may be slowed down and not as efficient. But for certain individuals that is fine.
If you are planning your first juice detox and are concerned about not eating foods, then consider this modified program. If you can successfully handle it then you can graduate up to a full cleanse the next time. The goal here is to get you into better health and the modified plan is a good way to get started.
