Have any of you ever completed a juice cleanse? I have always started them and never finished because I was so hungry. Well recently I tried one that I really liked and more importantly I finished it. A friend of mine recommended Arden’s Garden 2 Day Detox. They have a little shop on the corner of  Clayton Street and Collage Avenue, in downtown Athens, where she said she had been before to get lunch (they do fruit juices and smoothies). Well I made my way over to the shop one afternoon to stock up for the next 2 days (you can also order online).

The 2 day detox consists of drinking a gallon jug of juice that is a mix of freshly squeezed grapefruit, orange and lemon juice. With that you are also able to drink as much distilled water as you want. I found that because I was consuming so much liquid I rarely felt hungry. The only time I felt hungry was late in the evening on day 2. I was even able to work out while doing this (one of the days). I did not feel sluggish at all…in fact I felt like I had more energy. I dropped about 5 lbs doing this but the main factor for me was that it helped remove the cravings of sugar and junk food. I really wanted to eat clean after finishing this. I have completed this detox twice and enjoyed it both times. I will say that one time I did it while at work and another time on my days off. I found it a lot easier to do it while at work. I think it was because I was constantly busy.

Check out their website for more information.

Have any of you tried this juice cleanse? Are there any other ones that you recommend?

Lots of love,
