Just juice.

[osaraba]

So I started a 3-day juice cleanse today. I've had 2 so far and I'm surprisingly not even feeling hungry. I say "surprising" but of course it shouldn't be. Still, I've noticed that I'm thinking quite a bit about chewy/crunchy snacky things (like nuts and chips) moreso than thinking about a huge cheeseburger or something similar. I'm clearly missing the crunching experience.

I'm excited and nervous about what the next 2.5 days will be like!

How much and what kind of juice do you drink for that? And can you only drink juice or is water okay too? I've never heard of a juice cleanse, this sounds interesting.

There's a lot of info out there if you google 3-day juice cleanse. Typically you drink 6 16-oz juices over the course of a day. You can also drink coffee, tea, and water (though some advise no coffee). The particular combinations of ingredients vary depending on where you get your juices from. But they usually have the same basic juices: one/more is usually a combo of leafy greens, one/more is a fruit combo, one tends to be a sweet & spicy lemonade, and another tends to be something thick-- either peanut butter or coconut.

Here's a link to one that came up when I did a quick search: http://coolercleanse.com/cleanse/3day
This is the one I actually bought: http://www.jusbyjulie.com/the-jus-cleanse/

My last couple of tweets have been descriptions of the juices as I drink them, so you can check those out too.

I'll probably make another update next week talking about the whole experience, but feel free to ask anything else! =D
