You guys. I just finished my first-ever juice cleanse and I’ve been converted from skeptic to believer. I went all-in with a full 7-day cleanse from Squeezed.com and I feel GREAT! Here’s why I loved it.
I have been compensated by Squeezed.com to sample and review their juice cleanse, but I am sharing my true and honest experience.
It’s Time-Limited. Think about this. If you start a super-strict diet to help you reach your health goals, it has no end date. You look ahead to the future and you don’t know when you’ll have your freedom back. That’s really discouraging and makes it easy to start cheating pretty early on in the process. With this juice cleanse, you have a firm end date. It’s a clear goal – and it’s in the forseeable future. This makes it way more likely that you’ll stick to it for the duration of your commitment.
It’s a Re-set for Both Your Mind & Body. I talked about the reasons I needed a re-set here, so I won’t re-hash that. But by drinking juice for seven days I’ve broken emotional cravings and bad food habits that I hadn’t been able to kick previously, and my body has re-established what true (vs. emotional) hunger feels like, along with an expectation of more reasonable portion sizes going forward. When your body feels good, you want to treat it well. When you feel terrible, you’re not as mindful about what you eat. I’m actually looking forward to treating my body well by making good food choices. For a girl that doesn’t like vegetables, that’s a huge mental shift that somehow happened over the past week. I love how great I feel, and I don’t want to mess it up by falling back into bad habits.
I Had Real Results! I lost 4.9 pounds and took inches off my waist and midsection. But more importantly, I reached my goals of eliminating cravings, breaking bad habits, resetting my palate, and re-establishing reasonable portion sizes – which will help me maintain this loss and lose even more going forward.
It’s Super Convenient. Let’s be honest. There are lots of different ways to jump-start your way back to health. But honestly? This juice cleanse through Squeezed.com was sooooo convenient and simple. Juice was delivered to my doorstep. They were labeled in the order I was supposed to drink them. Every couple of hours I went to the fridge and grabbed one. For me there was no food prep. No cooking. No clean-up. No endless research on the nutrients I should be feeding my body or desperate searches for tried-and-true recipes. And best of all? There were no excuses. Even if I overslept or had a busy evening, all I had to do was grab a juice. All the work was done for me.
It Wasn’t That Hard. I went into this week with the mantra that “I can do anything for seven days.” I was geared up for a mental battle. And that’s exactly what it was. There may have been some difficult moments physically, but mentally I was committed. Though I had cravings, I was never tempted to give in and break the cleanse because I knew there was an end in sight and I’d be so proud of myself for sticking to it and experiencing the results. Overall, the actual process of juicing for seven days was far easier than I expected it to be – which was a delightful surprise!
It’s Not Disruptive to My Family’s Lifestyle. I’m a mom. Things like family dinners are important to me. Obviously this past week I didn’t partake – but it was for a very brief time. I love that this Squeezed.com juice cleanse gave me the re-set I needed to make healthy choices going forward within the context of my family. I don’t have to make myself a special meal every night, or explain to my kids why carbs are bad for me (but somehow okay for them). I can cook healthy family-friendly meals, enjoy reasonable portion sizes, and not have to do anything too crazy in the kitchen. As I move ahead I’m planning to juice two days per week – Friday and Saturday. These are days when we don’t usually have family dinners and do pizza/takeout/movie night/etc. This will work well for me because I’ll be juicing on days when I typically make the worst food choices, I won’t have to re-vamp our family’s traditions, I won’t miss family dinners, and I’ll have a weekly re-set to help keep me on track going forward.
