The Basic Core Total Cleanse and Juice Fast Guide: Day 3

I hope you guys are starting to see the benefits of the total cleanse, your urine should be light yellow and much clearer then before; you should not be having much of any bowel movements. And your likely feeling a lot lighter-and you should be, you’ve removed a lot of waste and toxins and your liver is crying for joy. Hopefully you have kept up with your water intake of 4-6 liters a day and your keeping steady with the juices, it’s almost over, and if you have taken wheatgrass at all during the total cleanse you should be noticing the wheatgrass benefits to your overall lighter feeling as well. Now I personally detox every so often although I have no set pattern it’s just generally when I’m feeling regularly lethargic and generally unhealthy.

When you have reached the end of the third day and you’re feeling oh so hungry I want you to resist temptation and figure you can snack a little early, please don’t you need another full night of rest on an empty but cleansed body. I know it can be tempting as I’ve gone for over a week with some of my fasts.

Now once you have awoken and you’re starting on day 4 you can eat solid food again yes, I know you want to do a dance in celebration, it’s perfectly OK. But please resist the urge to gorge and eat fatty and rich foods, your body has not eaten anything for 3 and half days and you will do harm to yourself and also ruin the total cleanse and all your hard work if you do this. For breakfast you should have a whole grain bagel or a small serving of organic whole grain oatmeal or cereal (no fatty milk) along with a slice of fruit preferably melon or banana for the potassium. For lunch you should have a salad with organic vinaigrette based dressings (please check ingredients, avoid the typical corn syrup “natural flavors” phony dressings out there.) you can also have a fruit salad as well either for lunch or as a snack so you can continue to enjoy the benefits of eating healthy.

Consume nuts at some point in the day peanuts or almonds (small handfuls, that’s it) for protein. For dinner keep it light please your body needs to slowly adapt to eating again. My recommendation would to have some small amount of WHOLE GRAIN pasta with real organic tomato sauce or some fish lightly flavored with lemon and garlic so you can get your healthy fats. You need to eat reasonably the following days if you intend to get the most out of your juice fast but eventually your body does get invaded with toxins again even if your diet is perfect so it’s needed every once in awhile. And remember always- ALWAYS drink plenty of water no matter what, 2-4 liters a day for women and 4-6 for men. In following articles I’ll detail eating plans and general tips and advice for food and products that will benefit you in your plan to have a clean body and healthy life.

An Introduction to a Total Cleanse and Juice Fasting

The body is clogged with a lot of buildup in the colon from years of poor diet with high fats, sugar, and a lack of fiber. This is common knowledge now but despite knowing this when people try to get the most out of there supplements and health foods they often feel let down by the results even after regular and steady intake. The reason for this is the blockage in the colon mentioned earlier, this often prevents and weakens the body’s ability to maximize nutrient absorption from your food and often makes the best supplements nearly useless.

Naturally we can conclude then that removing this blockage will remove this impediment and should allow for the various health foods and products to truly go to work and start the process to provide a total cleanse for the body.

Many forms of naturopathy treatments are available to you and I will describe many of them in detail in future articles. The gentlest form of Cleansing is a food based diet where you simply consuming mostly high fiber grains, vegetables, and mostly water with light amounts of veggie and fruit juice. The most Extreme is simply fasting completely and only consuming water, I would never recommend this because your body is not getting any nutrients whatsoever and can be very harmful to the body. The most commonly used method and one I personally live by is the Juicing Fast or Cleanse. This involves consuming many liters of water a day along with Pure and Whole Fruit juices and Vegetable juices. As a result, your body is not taxing itself and is able to expel fecal matter blocking your colon but still allow for all the nutrients you need to survive and ultimately make the natural detox much more effective.

When someone is just starting this for the first time the fasting should only be for three days. Anything beyond this and you should consult a Physician first. There are people who should not try juice fasting. Pregnant or Nursing women should not try a juice fast or cleanse. People should not attempt a juice fast either before or after surgery. People with chronic conditions should only do so under medical supervision. Juice fasting can reduce blood proteins and change the way prescription drugs react with the body and therefore should consult a medical professional skilled in detoxification before trying a juice fast and should never reduce or modify their medications on their own.
