Juice Detox Day 3

For breakfast today we had our Detox Special, for lunch we had our Beyond Detox, and for dinner we had the Dreamy Detox. Between breakfast and lunch we had to drink the whole H2O detox, which is a liter of water mixed in with a little fruit juice. So we had to make and drink five juices today! It felt like non-stop drinking!

Juice Master's Detox Special

H2O Detox

Beyond Detox

Dreamy Detox

We both felt pretty bad today. I feel like I have a really bad cold, which I think I might actually have at this point. Peter feels like his allergies are a lot worse than usual. By the end of the day we wanted to eat something so badly. I just went to bed early so that I could wake up and eat breakfast. 

I'm proud that we accomplished all three days of this juice detox though! That being said, I don't think we will ever do a detox for this long again. I feel like depriving ourselves just made us want to eat unhealthy foods even more, now that we can. We will keep juicing along with eating foods though and I think we could replace a lunch or breakfast with juices and smoothies in the future. I will definitely be taking off a few days from juices and smoothies though. The thought of drinking one right now is incredibly unappealing.

Juice Detox Day 2

Our second day also had a late start again because Peter had to work really late into the night. I had my hot water with lemon and breakfast smoothie around 10 am and Peter had his around 11:30 am. 

The Super Detox Smoothie wasn't very sweet, in fact it was a little sour. That might just be because the berries aren't in season. I didn't mind though because all of the other juice have been so sweet that I'm ready for a new flavor.

Dreamy Detox

We made lunch at 1:30 pm. Lunch was the Dreamy Detox juice. I thought this one would be gross, but it just tasted like lemonade with ginger in it. I couldn't really even taste the celery, which is good because I hate celery. It was also much more like juice than the other juices have been. There was no avocado in it. This was much more like what we thought we would be having the entire time.

H2O Detox

We felt hungry around 4 pm and that is when we made our H2O Detox or "linner". We definitely felt hungrier today than yesterday, but never felt starving.

Beyond Detox

We made dinner around 7 pm. Peter didn't feel hungry, but I did. He started eating later in the day so I think that's why. I kept his portion in the fridge and drank mine.

As far as detox symptoms go, I felt like I was having some sinus issues last night and today. I read online that that's normal and I did have a sinus infection that I had to get antibiotics for a little under a year ago. So I was thinking that maybe my body was still getting rid of toxins from that time. Peter has felt completely normal, lucky for him! We still feel like this detox is pretty easy to do. As long as you keep yourself busy, then you don't feel hungry or think about food. I miss eating as an activity, but I don't feel like I need to eat to feel full.
