the following page is pertains to answering some of the common questions asked about coming out of a juice cleanse.
there is no exact method for exiting a juice cleanse that can be templated on to every individual. there are several factors that make people’s chemistry unique and therefore the results of a juice cleanse and a juice cleanse exit vary from person to person.
there is a lot of room for error when exiting a 3 to 6 day cleanse for the average person that does not have any pre-existing digestive issues. mistakes are less forgiving on longer cleanses or for people with medical issues minor or not. many of the physical sensations a person will encounter are pyschological. some people will feel wonderfully stimulated and amazing if they jump back into eating animal flesh and other concentrated foods right from the go. others will feel sluggish and depressed with the same foods.
a safer approach is begin eating raw solid foods taking care not to over eat and practice smart food combining. use a high quality digestive enzyme to aid in digestion. avoid all dairy, all alcohol, avoid anything processed.
if you eat things like brown rice with fish with a miso paste ( soy based ) dressing, (which sounds healthy) you’re likely to become very gasous and ferment the meal. then again, 3 to 7 days is not enough time for your body to completely ween off prior eating habits. so what you’ve been doing prior to the cleanse you’ll probably feel the fine.
experienced cleansers eat fresh raw fruit in the morning which is very cleansing and easy to digest. (eat melon alone. do not combine with other fruits.) drink juice during the day. if you can eat raw foods that are agreeable to your system. (some people have a terrible reaction to cashews, others don’t, as an example.) raw sprouted nuts and leafy greens are ok. eat raw salads,(don’t overeat and don’t sleep with food in your stomach.)
some people recommend soups and broths. nothing wrong with that approach provided the soups are prepared properly with ingredients that wont make you feel disgusting.
avoid white flour noodles, white sugars, eggs, and other foods that require a lot of work to digest.
when you exit a juice cleanse but remain 80% to 100% raw avoiding processed foods and animal flesh you technically are still in a detox mode. it will be slower than a juice cleanse, but over time have the same effect on the body.
toxic people ( broad statement ) should not cleanse on their own. results are not necessarily dangerous, however, you may feel terrible and not know why. you can have negative experiences if you move to rapidly through this process. toxic people are generally the individuals who drink alcohol in frequent amounts, smokers, individuals who eath animal flesh every day, individuals who use pyscho-pharmiceutical drugs, overweight individuals, depressed individuals, etc.
go slow and work with a knowledgeable nutritionist who understands the juice cleansing process. the point is, is that on short cleanses exiting is not a frightful experience that will cause health issues in 99% of the people ( tens of thousands that we know of .) that cleanse. there are a lot of whack-ododdles out there that are going to feel bad no matter what they exit a cleanse on, or dramtic emotional issues will surface during a cleanse that could lead to binge eating garbage like twinkies and ring dings. people that jump in and out of cleanse in this manner can make themselves seriously sick.
use common sense.
