Why Try A 3 Day Juice Cleanse Weight Loss Program?

A 3 day juice fast is just enough time for you to get the benefits of a juice cleanse. Whilst minimizing the side effects that you may get from a longer cleanse. And, since the body needs time to adjust to a juice cleanse you can use the 3 day juice cleanse weight loss program as a precursor to an even longer one. Your body will adapt to the second cleansing much faster.

 

Preparing For A 3 Day Juice Cleanse Weight Loss Program

Just as with normal fasting you will need to prepare yourself for a three day juice fast both mentally and physically. To do a 3 day juice cleanse weight loss program you need to first prepare your body by reducing the intake of processed foods. Slowly ease away from these types of foods two days prior.

We’re talking packet food, canned food, breads, cereals and anything else that have you haven’t prepared from raw ingredients. You can also take it a step further and start consuming raw foods. This will help prepare your body for the move away from solid foods.

It is also advisable to carry out a colon cleanse prior to or during your juice fast. By doing this you will get greater success out of your cleanse. We get it, a colon cleanse may be something most of you don’t want to think about, but it really does help. In any case, you can always do this in a later juice cleanse when you are feeling a little more advanced.

Once you begin the juice fast it is recommended that you take up to five different juices a day at intervals of two hours and a small meal of fruits and vegetables or soup for dinner. The small meal will stave off any feelings of hunger that you may have and prevent you from craving solid foods.

The Best Juices For Your 3 Day Juice Cleanse Weight Loss Program

Breakfast

For breakfast, it is better to have a light juice, a mixture of carrot, apple or ginger juice will do. This juice is high in calories while still light on the stomach.

Mid Morning

For mid-morning you may opt for some “green juice”; a mixture of kale, celery, cucumbers, green apples, and spinach. It is essential to keep a balance between vegetables and fruits.

Midday

Around midday, you will need another shot of calories. So, a mixture of pineapples, green apples and mint will do just perfectly. This juice will keep your energy up during the afternoon.

Mid Afternoon

During the mid-afternoon, you may drink a citrus-inspired green juice. It is basically the green juice but with added lemon or lime. As well as being delicious, lemon helps to burn off fat.

Late Afternoon

In the late afternoon, you may decide to do a sunset blend of fruits and vegetables of your choice. Of course, make sure to include either apples or pineapple for their calorie content.

Evening

Finally, finish of the day with a light fruity pudding: pawpaw, bananas, and avocado are simply delicious.

Drink Plenty Of Water

Throughout the day, make sure that you are drinking plenty of water as well, at least 3 litres per day.

 

Can I Exercise On A 3 Day Juice Cleanse Weight Loss Program?

Of course, you can exercise, but make sure you do not push too hard. Because your body is calorie deficient and does not have many calories to spare. Going for a walk is the perfect exercise while on a juice cleanse. As you are moving your body and getting fresh air while not exerting much energy.

Also, make sure to get plenty of rest. Having naps throughout the day and sleeping a little longer than normal through the night is a good thing. You are allowing your body to heal itself and rejuvenate so that you feel refreshed after your cleanse is over.

Because of this it is best to do a juice cleanse when you have some time off work or over the weekend. If you have young children and don’t get time off it is still possible to do your juice cleanse. It just would be much easier if you could have them looked after for a couple of hours during the day. That way you can have time to rest.
