Hey everyone!
Hope your week has started greatly and you are enjoying your day.
Just like I promised on my social media pages, I am going to share with you
my 7 day juice fast journey.
I am doing it as routinely, actually. This is a great way to jump start
a clean eating regimen, detox, rid your body of toxins, boost your
metabolism and intake a bunch of nutrients, antioxidants and vitamins
during the process.
The keys to remember when juicing is to drink a LOT of water.
This will help you stay hydrated, satiated and flush out toxins out of body.
I love variety in my juices and juice a lot of greens (kale, spinach, chard,
cilantro, basil, parsley, etc.);
berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries;
fruits and vegetables; ginger, jalapeños and cayenne peppers…
The key is not to mix fruit with vegetables, the neutral fruits that are ok
to mix with vegetables are all citrus, apples and pears.
Mixing the rest can cause bloating.
So, today was the first day and it went great!
I didn’t drink enough water and will get on it tomorrow.
Here is what i have consumed today:
1. Morning Goddess
2 apples, 1 cucumber, 4 leaves of kale, 1 cup blueberries, 2 cups of grapes,
1/4 lemon and 1″ ginger;
+ tall glass of water
2. Green Boost
1 apple, 1 cucumber, 4 stalks of celery, 6 leaves of kale, 1 cup of spinach,
1/4 lemon peeled, 2″ ginger;
+ tall glass of water
3. Energy Jolt
2 apples, 2 tangerines, 1 cucumber, 1/4 lemon peeled, 4 leaves of kale
+ tall glass of water
4. Sunset Beauty
1 beet root, 1 cucumber, 1 carrot, 1 bunch of kale, 1 lemon, 1 lime peeled
All this was enough to keep me full and happy, will see tomorrow though
Oh, and I am about to make hot water with ginger and lemon to finish my day.
Talk soon,
Natalia
