How To Prepare For Your Juice Cleanse
DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN ENHANCE YOUR CLEANSE BY PROPERLY PREPARING?
Doing a proper juice cleanse can be tough, but you have to keep in mind that the cleanse itself is only half the battle. What you eat and drink in the days prior can have a major impact on your journey; it is as much part of the cleanse as the products themselves. If you want to achieve the best results possible dedicate yourself to pre-cleanse preparation.
Doing some pre-cleanse preparation is kind off the same as cleaning out your cupboards before going on a diet. It’s like removing any unhealthy foods in order to help you stick to your health plan, minimize cravings and avoid impulsive eating when you see your favorite chocolate in the cupboard.
Let’s take a look at 6 tips that you can do to properly prepare for your juice cleanse:
• Remove processed foods, sugar, alcohol, caffeine, refined flour, refined starches, dairy and meat from your diet. This may sound like a lot, but if you can cut down on 50% of what you normally consume, you are already going to notice a difference.
• Increase your consumption of whole foods, fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, herbal teas and water. Stacking up on the best foods with excellent nutritional value is going to help you feel more energized and stronger during your juice cleanse.
• If you are a smoker, cut down!
• Get your mind right – focus on why you have chosen to do this cleanse. This is incredibly important and if you can keep yourself focused on the end goal you will glide through this cleanse with ease.
• Think positive thoughts.
• Believe in yourself – you can do this. Although this is a departure from the way you are used to eating, you will be so thankful you embarked on this journey. (Info Source: Juice Revolution )
