Juice to me, JuiceToU

No food, alcohol or caffeine allowed! Did I have a bug or had that knock to the head during the ice cube fight last week (don't ask) really affected me?! No, this week I decided to detox. Yes that's right I went 3 days with no food, alcohol or caffeine.

I had researched companies offering the juicing detox before but with inconvenient delivery times or a rather unforgiving price tag I had given up. Until low and behold on Sunday night I stumbled across JuiceToU. After reading reviews from the public and celebrities I decided to set myself the mission.

Placing the order that night, I was informed that my juices would arrive Tuesday am, which they did. First tick.
 
 
Juice to U is a totally natural and fantastic pre-prepared juice detox service using fresh local produce delivered to your door, consisting of 4 juices to drink throughout the day with a 3 hour period between juices!

I am not normally a breakfast eater unless I am hungover or it is around 11am and I tuck into my draw at work filled with Oomfh! Oats. Therefore on Wednesday morning I was a little wary to try Clean Green - the first glug I wasn't keen on but after swallowing and allowing time for an after taste I was sold.  The bottle easily went down after that.

12pm - Let's Glow - tasty and my kind of fruity drink!

3pm - Clean Green again - ok I'll drink it but I'm a little hungry now and there are people in the office eating eclairs which I would love to shovel into my mouth!

6pm - Berry Good - hmmm my favourite, however by now I have a headache and I am really hungry!

To get you through the day you are allowed as much fruit tea and water with lemon as you like. This helps....a lot!

Headache, nausea and dizziness is expected when detoxing. I had a headache and was so hungry I was feeling off that it had to be an early night.


Day 2 - MORNING, I'M UP! Woke up perky and full of life. Ready and raring to drink the Clean Green beauty! This was an easier day until around 6.30pm and someone in the house decided to cook bacon! They all knew I was doing the detox but as my boyfriend kindly pointed out "Your putting yourself through this blinking detox, why should I suffer?" - No dear, you don't need to "suffer", enjoy your bacon and I will bury my head into a pillow and smell the fresh linen! This tested my willpower to the max, boy o boy was I scratching to pigpocket some of the good stuff.

Day 3 - Really starting to feel the effects, I felt great waking up, my skin felt ultra smooth, I was less bloated and I had noticed I went off to sleep a lot easier. The day itself was fine, I had bravely walked away from cake in the staff room and was less hungry. The evening again  was hard around 7pm but I fought through and distracted myself with a film and some hot water with lemon - on a Friday night, yes you should all be jealous!

Overall after completing the challenge, was I not only so proud of myself but I did feel as JuiceToU had stated on their website, revitalised, refreshed, rejuvenated and invigorated. On top of that I had lost 3.5lbs which was the cherry!

I would highly recommend juice detoxing to anyone wanting to feel cleansed. I think I found it easier than most as I do not drink tea or coffee, nor do I drink alcohol unless I am going out out. (Out out, a term coined by the hilarious M.Flanagan) I also found it helped that I detoxed during the week when I was at work where I have a routine and am busy, rather than on a day off and the fridge can easily shout for me. Detoxing is the perfect way to start a fresh and I will definitely be trying this several times a year.

If you have any questions and would like a follow up plan so that you don't undo all your hard work, JuiceToU customer service is second to none.
