trying this today is day 1 what does she mean to juice twice daily ? is that in addition to the plan? anyone with information i would appreciate it very much!
Julie, Juice for breakfast and mid-afternoon if you like. Mid-afternoon is option. On my 3rd day…going well.
I know it says not to have caffeine but I am having some major withdrawls right now. Will it hurt to much if I have one cup of coffee?
Elizabeth, One cup a day, …I would just recommend avoiding adding dairy.
Are these bean sprouts or alfalfa sprouts? The photo for the salad and the green bean salad looks like you are maybe using both? Thx!
Katie, Either kind will work for the cleanse and detox. I've used both!
How far in advance can I prepare the juice?
Bree, You can prepare in the morning and drink the same day. Sometimes I’ll have juice leftover at the end of the day and it’s fine the next morning.
What about exercise? I take an intense gym class…do you recommend doing this during the cleanse or should I do something lighter, like a light jog?
Larissa, It depends on your energy level. Some people continue working out as usual…me included. Others, feel a little weak the first day or two. Listen to your body!
Lydia, I’ve done it up to 7 days at a time. Check with your doctor first, but this cleanse includes whole foods and not just liquid.
I don't have a juicer so do the smoothies count as juicing? Also on the coconut milk smoothie it says a serving size is 1/2 the recipe so can you just save the other half for the next day or is it better to make half a recipe?
Emily, Smoothies are even better because all the nutrients remain. Smoothies tend to be a lot thicker than juice, so either add more liquid or make half the recipe.
I am starting this tomorrow! Shopping today, thank you so much for posting a clear and concise cleanse online!
Son starting tomorrow. Any adjustments for men?
Jen, None.
I am starting day 3 tomorrow. My energy level is great! I have made juices both in the blender and a juicer and I prefer the "juicer" juice. The detox juices are really easy to drink! I must say I do look forward to the snack of nuts in the afternoon and evening. Thanks for such a great cleanse!
We are so glad you have had such success with the cleanse!
Hi – on the green bean salad, is the 1 c quinoa cooked or before cooked? Is it like couscous that doubles in size?
Sharyn, It’s one cup of cooked quinoa…and yes it doubles in size.
I have another question (and thanks for the quick reply!) – I have almond milk anyway which I am obsessed with, but I can't figure out where to use it. Instead of the coconut milk in the coconut smoothie? I'm starting today and will do another smoothie first but am curious. I'll report back when done!
Thanks!
So can I make the coconut smoothie with almond milk?
Almond milk is fine!
Veggie soup? Do have have any good recipes for this? I would like to integrate it into my detox diet. Thanks
Do you have anything that can sub for Kale? It is hard to find where I live.
Day 1 almost done with my 3 day detox and cleanse. Man this is HARD! Totally different for me but I’m going to finish it. Note to self: NO more lemons from Costco…TOO big and TOO sour! Killin me & I LOVE lemons! ha ha Trader Joes…SOOOO much better! Going to switch that out tonight!
Did this…was hard but easy…headache but then felt ok. Recipes were great! lost 5lbs while doing it as well. Nice
Jump started my weight loss once again. Thanks
Cheri, So happy to hear it turned out well. Stay turned…a 7 day cleanse is in the works.
wow that is awesome. Just finished a 7 day cleanse and lost 8 pounds and 4 inches off my waist, belly and hips!!!
Lori, ONLY if it’s 100% pure chocolate…with no added sweeteners.
After the three day detox, what do you recommend for meals right after and going forward?
Stacy, I highly recommend continuing with a clean eating plan. This consists of, primarily, whole foods with few to no processed foods. Take a look at our menu section to get an idea: http://skinnyms.com/category/menu-planning/
Are there any substitutions for someone with a nut allergy? Thank you!
Becky, Seeds are a great substitute. I recommend pumpkin and sunflower seeds (raw).
Thank you!
Margaret, Sure, take it apart! That will work.
Why don't you eat fruit on this detox?
Carol, We do eat fruit on the cleanse. The smoothies all have some sort of fruit.
any possible way to enjoy a handful of cherries on any of the days?
About to start the cleanse, but have a question: Do you drink the wake up drink right when you wake up? How long after are you suppose to wait to have the breakfast?
Denise, Drink with 15 minutes after waking up.
Maira, Eat or drink one serving. Yes, it does work if followed as instructed.
Is it safe to do this detox while breastfeeding? Thanks.
Rebecca, That’s a question for your doctor. We did have another reader say that she checked with her doctor and was given the go ahead. However, everyone is different with different needs, so definitely give your doctor a call first. Keep us posted!
I'm 12 and really interested in being healthy. I tend to have some low blood sugar because I'm growing a ton right now! Would it still be okay for me to do this cleanse because I'm so young?
Mariah, I would definitely recommend discussing with your parents and doctor before starting any type of cleanse. The detox is geared toward adults so that will have to be a discussion with you, your parents and doctor. Thanks for the question!
Not sure I understand… you list Breakfast recipes as Mean Green Juice, super detox,cleanse & detox and coconut milk.
BUT then you say breakfast to choose from Mean green juice 1, mean green 2, mean green 3 and 4…
So what list do we really do??? Because for the Mean green juice 1,2,3,4 the ingredients are not on the shopping list??
And when you say have two juices a day that means one of something from above for breakfast and you would rather us have another one from above for the mid-afternoon and not the other choices on the list??
Thanks
Tina, There is some flexibility, if the shopping list needs tweaking then feel free to do so.
Ok thanks, I did do some tweaking!! Just started it today.
Ok I have another question… I made the "Mean Green Juice 1 today for breakfast. Do you want us to drink the entire thing?? OMG it made SO much!!!!!!! OR is it for all 3 days????
Tina, It’s one serving but it’s o.k. to split it up for 3 day.
hey, looking for a cleanse. would you reccomend this for a male, or do you suggest fine tuning the cleanse for a male body?
Hi Chris, This cleanse is for both women & men. The only difference might be that your portions are a little larger, that’s it! Keep us posted.
Can I skip the afternoon snack? I feel like throwing up just thinking about all that food. Also, using spinach instead of kale as they were out of stock and I didnt want to put it off any longer.
Spinach instead of kale is fine. If you can’t eat the afternoon snack don’t worry about it. Just be sure you don’t go hungry for this cleanse.
I am thinking of doing the detox with my 16 year old daughter and husband. I am scheduled for surgery in the next few days and wasconcerned about detoxing with pain meds in my system. Should I wait or would the detox still be bbeneficial?
I would recommend waiting until you’ve been approved to do a detox by your doctor.
How often should this detox plan be done? Really excited about it how well laid out it is which makes it more motivating. Thank you!
Holly, Once a month is fine!! You’re welcome.
Do you recommend adding Aloe Vera juice to at least one of the smoothies each day, as it's very cleasning. or would it be too much?
Helen, Sure…Alos Vera Juice is fine!
Starting Tomorrow! Can't Wait! I'm Thinking Of Doing This For 1 Week Cause My System Needs A Reset. Will This Be Okay?
Nicola, Sure…this cleanse is about eating whole foods and avoiding not so healthy foods. Just be sure to eat enough and never starve your body of healthy whole foods.
I just got thru the cleanse. I didn't do it to lose weight… more so just to get back on track. However, I did lose some and would love to keep it off!! Any tips/tricks?? I already eat pretty clean and I'm afraid it will all just come back on once I start eating normally. Maybe one of the drinks each day (or three days a week) for a meal?
Allie, The cleanse will typically take off a few pounds. I definitely recommend a green smoothie every day, if possible. http://skinnyms.com/category/recipes/drinks/ I drink a green smoothie daily!! Here’s a post about how I lost weight and kept if off: http://skinnyms.com/daily-menu-and-workout-how-i-…
Thank you so much!!
Might be a silly questions, but I still have some fruits and veggies in my fridge to use up, things like asparagus and romaine lettuce and a couple oranges. Is it okay to add the veggies to the salad or snack and have an orange on the side?
Definitely!!!
would a food processor smash up the food enough to drink,? or would a blender do better? dont have a juicer,, thanks
Mindy, Definitely a blender. You may need to add more water to make it thinner.
sugarless gum okay to chew?
small amount of homey in tea… yes or no?
Can we drink decaffe coffee and fruit teas whilst on this cleanse?
Anita, Without added sugar or other additives, yes.
Hi I just started the cleanse today is the is the salad recipe for one serving or for all three…also is terrible if I add sweetener to my breakfast smoothie?
Ashley, This recipe makes 3 servings.
Hi, I was wondering…is it ok if I take out one of the ingredients in a Smoothie or recipe? For example, one of them calls for papaya and I'm not really a fan of that. Thanks!
Yes, just replace with another fruit, maybe avocado.
What is the serving size on the coconut smoothie? Is it half the recipe or the full recipe??
What is the serving size on the coconut smoothie?? Is it half the recipe or the full recipe?
Kelly, Makes 3 servings.
Hi, is it ok to take off an ingredient or two in the smoothies and recipes? For example, I don't like papaya or kale. Thanks:)
Katie, That will work, just be sure to replace with another fruit and green leafy veggie.
The recipe for the salad calls for roasted chicken (optional) so does that mean that we can have some protein while on this cleanse?
No, this means for anyone not doing the cleanse, chicken is permitted.
Can you eat the Green bean and Zucchini salad for lunch as a substitute for the Garden Salad with lemon oil dressing??
Lori, Definitely!
