Well, WE MADE IT! I promised to keep you all posted on our juice detox experience, so here is my take away.
🍎My husband lost 7 pounds but aside from the weight loss he felt no other benefits. He actually felt weaker, more tired, and had muscle cramps which prevented him from his normal workout routine.
🍎 I lost 7 pounds. I slept better, had more energy, felt less bloated, and less anxious. I wake up a lot every night and did during the cleanse as well, but I had an easier time falling back asleep and slept more sound. I had headaches in the morning a few days but woke up feeling more alert and energized. (Aside from day 6, which was the hardest.)
I enjoyed the satisfaction of being self-disciplined, since so many aspects of my life feel out of my control at the moment. I think this was the kick I needed to start making healthier choices. I will definitely do it again, but I will only do 5 days in the future. I hit a plateau and saw no added benefit in the last two days.
