If you are feeling frumpy and you have a few pounds to lose why not try one of the many detox methods promoted today: the detox juice diet. This is one of the strictest detox diets (others contain solid foods, with restrictions) but it is also one of the shortest ones out there. The juice detox program can last as short as one day and any period of time over three days is only recommended under the supervision of a health professional trained in detoxification.
If you’ve decided to try a detox juice diet for some reason, whether it’s the most appetizing menu to you or because it’s such a short diet, you should have some idea what to expect from the juice program. Please remember you should check with your doctor if you have any chronic health conditions before starting this kind of diet; no pregnant woman or child should ever do a juice diet.
What is Involved:
Basically everything eaten in a one, two or three day detox juice diet is juiced. This means juicing fresh (organic) fruits and vegetables following a strict recommendation list of what is a good idea and what is not such a good idea to consume on such a diet. For example, citrus fruits are usually avoided because of their acidic nature, and some juices, such as pomegranate, are usually not recommended because they can increase the concentration of prescription medications in the blood.
Also, you should take it easy on the day(s) of the diet, drink lots of water, and be prepared to feel overtired. Some side effects of following a detox juice diet are headache, constipation, bad breath, and tiredness. If you continue such a diet longer than a day or two, you might get accumulative side effects such as acne and even nutritional deficiencies. Generally, a one-day juice diet is too short to produce real nutritional shortages of vitamins and minerals, but you should always keep this possibility in mind and treat yourself with care, staying on guard for health problems.
While the benefits of a juice detox diet might be very appealing, make sure to execute the diet in a safe and healthy way or you could be counteracting any positive side effects with something negative. Detox diets all have something to offer us, juice diets included but you must remember that when you have finished your detox juice diet to introduce solid food gradually over a few days as not to upset your stomach and pile on the pounds you have lost.
