Surviving A Juice Cleanse: One Woman's Honest Experience
Juice cleanse can give your body a number of system replenishing benefits. From cleansing your colon and regulating your digestion to giving you mental clarity and purifying your skin, there is really no limit to what a simple juice fix can do.
For Kayla Stewart, surviving her first juice cleanse had highs and lows. But were the benefits enough to balance out the challenges? Kayla takes us through her honest experience with juice cleansing.
Kayla started her first day at 10 am with an all green drink containing kale, spinach, romaine, parsley, celery and cucumber.
"It tastes like all of the childhood vegetables you stuffed under your plate at dinnertime blended into a cup. By the end, though, I was pleasantly surprised to already feel a bit cleaner. Drinking something with that few ingredients, and those ingredients not being chemicals, does wonders for your body and you can feel them almost instantaneously." Kayla explains.
Her number one tip for starting a juice cleanse is to not do it on a work day, because the first day leaves you with minimal energy and making multiple trips to the bathroom.
"I was tired and getting hungrier, so I put on my favorite Spotify mix and tried to focus in even more on my work tasks to distract myself. Distraction is key when you’re doing this for the first time." says Kayla, who by 3 pm was consuming a carrot, beet, ginger, orange and pineapple juice blend.

After 4 juices and a whole day at work, it was time for dinner. Kayla opted for a nutritious salad. Not all cleanse plans allow a meal at the end of the day, but Kayla felt this was the best choice for her.
"I stuck to a clean salad to finish off my day of health and wealth. Surprisingly, even with the initial hunger pains, by the time I finally got to dinner, I was not that hungry."
So, would Kayla do another juice cleanse after her first experience?
"I would easily do the cleanse again. It was a challenge for me to drink the amount of vegetables I should have been eating all along and to push through without food until the end of the day. Though I wasn’t looking to lose weight, I did drop pounds in the same day. Juice cleansing is worth the attention it gets, and I think everyone should give it a try." she explains.
