As you all know, I organize at least two detox and fasting weeks based on juices. I offer these as vacation packages outside of professional daily life, as I would like to enable participants to also detox mentally and to really give their entire body some time off.
Well, about 3 weeks ago I was approached by Detox Delight and encouraged to try their products which are entirely based on juices.
Of course I was super motivated from the get-go. Juicing cleanses should best be performed for 2 weeks in my opinion or at least for 7-8 days, like during my detox and fasting weeks that I offer 2 times per year. However, due to my many traveling activities this did not work out for me time-wise and so I joined the experiment for 6 days in order to determine if Detox Delight is right for you.
6 days of juice only – and all this while performing my projects, sport, and so on? That sounds like torture to me! But: You will hardly believe it, the Detox Juice Cleanse achieves the opposite. My entire body regenerated and it was very easy for me to integrate it into my daily life. However, I would not recommend to select the most stressful time of year for the program but rather some days where you are not under constant pressure.
Here is the background – it is really easy:
You ONLY drink juices. Not any kind of juice but six portions with 0.5l of cold-pressed, mixed fruit and vegetable juices each. The bottles are designed appealingly, you can see the color of the juice and all ingredients are listed. They are numbered, so you start with number 1 in the morning and end with drink number 6 in the evening. Fool proof and easily integrated into your busy daily life. In addition, you will receive a menu plan and start kit with information.
Here is a video, so you can see what the box looks like and what it contains.
And here is my diary for you – how I experienced the day:
Detox Cleanse: Day 1
Yeah… full of motivation into the first day of the detox cleanse and after two personal trainings at 6am in the morning I was very much looking forward to my first juice waiting for me at my door when I got back.
I usually eat very healthy as well and as you know, I do like to experiment with raw food, so it was not too hard to give up coffee and such but I did miss my Matcha tea.
I also incorporated my homeopathic remedies, which I use during my detox and fasting cleanses to purge toxins from the body. And those really gave me a punch. I felt so nauseous that I looked pale as a ghost for the entire first day. Well, there you have it: Apparently, the body has a lot to purge. I drank a lot of ginger and lemon water, in order to relieve the feeling of nausea.
My last detox cleanse had been a while, so it is a great idea to perform one regularly (at least once a year) to keep your body in shape, and then it is usually not as hard because you will experience almost no bad side effects.
Day 4 and 5
The energy that I always admire during detox and cleansing programs returned during these days: To wake up at 5:30am even before the alarm sounds and to think, well I am ready to face the day. This is really a phenomenon, once you grant your digestion a break for regeneration.
Well and my day 6 was simply a delight: I could not even drink all juices, as my stomach was much smaller and content. The optimum supply of vitamins and minerals prevented the feeling of hunger, as my body was fed with all the right things that it needs.
My Detox Delight Conclusion
I did not feel any hunger on any of those days and all of the juices were more or less delicious, some I liked less if there was too much cucumber in them but this is simply a matter of taste.
From time to time I would have liked to eat something, as I missed the act of chewing but I had known this feeling already and as I mentioned, I sometimes incorporated a Purisano bar during the time.
In general, I design my detox weeks a little differently and more intense. However, that way of cleansing is not easily integrated into daily life, that’s why I usually organize it as a vacation for my participants. During those days you are able to purge really all of the toxins, which is certainly not completely achievable with Detox Delight.
I must say though, if you want to cleanse and detox for a couple of days while living your daily life, I would definitely recommend it. Price-wise it is in the upper category – but certainly warranted as it includes a complete and worry-free service (freshly prepared with organic ingredients, delivery, information, etc.).
If you would like to try it, I offer an exclusive SCBC rebate for our participants: Simply go to www.detox-delight.ch and enter the following code when ordering to receive a 10% discount on your order.
Another piece of advice for you: I would never recommend a detox cleanse entirely without supervision for more than 3-4 days, at least not the very first time. You never know how you will react mentally and physically as your body will find itself under exceptional circumstances during this time.
