3 Day Cleanse

3/9/2018

In all reality, we all know there's no quick fix for weight loss. Although we all know that, we still try everything to help us drop some lbs. before a special occasion. Typically weight lost last minute is mostly water weight and not very sustainable if you're just doing it for an event. With all that being said, we still try anyway! Haha! So, I have come up with a cleanse that I find to work to at least help with some bloating and maybe minor issues. You won't lose 20 lbs. in a week on this but you can use it for two reasons.

1: A cleanse to do a few days before a vacation or big event to help with bloating.
2: A cleanse to jump start your new journey in health and fitness.


If you're doing it for the second reason (which I recommend more) you'll see more results in the long run. This is a perfect cleanse to start with before starting a meal plan or a new type of eating style. It'll help jumpstart your metabolism, clear you out of toxins, decrease some bloating, and begin your weight loss journey.

The Cleanse
Breakfast: Juice
Snack: Vegetables or fruit
Lunch: Juice (Optional carb)
Snack: Vegetables or fruit
Dinner: Lean protein (fish, chicken, turkey) with vegetables

There really isn't much to it, which is the point. You are eliminating all dairy, carbs and anything processed. I find that around lunch time I typically need a pick me up so if I am not feeling great or feel tired I'll have a 1/2 cup of brown rice, quinoa, oatmeal or a slice of toast. Like I said before, this is definitely not an everyday way of life or diet. If you typically eat breakfast on the go and/or lunch on the go as well, it shouldn't be too difficult to adjust to for 3 days.

What's in the juice:
Start with a leafy green like kale or spinach.
Add in vegetables of your choice; typical in juices are carrots, cucumber, zucchini, celery
Add in some fruits; typical in juices are apples, lemon, orange, grapefruit, strawberries
Extra add ins include chia seeds, coconut water, almond or coconut milk, protein powder

Example of my juice for breakfast:
Spinach
Cucumber
Strawberries
Chia seeds
Vanilla protein powder
Coconut water

Example of my juice for lunch:
Spinach
Cucumber
Zucchini
Celery
Carrots
Orange
Coconut water

Example of my dinner:
White fish
Brussel sprouts with garlic and lemon

Example of a snack:
Sliced yellow pepper
Sliced apple
