Although, it can be time consuming and challenging at first, but after knocking out your very own recipes; you will be a pro at juiceing in no time. I own a Breville juicer and it works wonders. I throw all my green vegetables and fruit without cutting them up and wah-lah! juice, drink in less than 10 minutes. I peel my lemons, oranges, limes prior with a fruit peeler, which is ideal to own. I plan my juices in advance. (bkfast, lunch and dinner- one fruit juice a day). I purchase most of my veggies from the farmers market-which you may be able to negotiate the veggies;that’s always a plus. I drink my juices immediatly after juicing to get the best boost. If you must store your juice; store your juice in mason jars just for that day. Tip: add a apple, peeled lime/lemon when you juice greens-it takes the edge off. Add a chunk of ginger before the lemon/lime. Ginger is a natural anti-inflamatory herb. Happy juicing from Texas!

So many perfect people out there! She tried something, she failed, so what? I’m sure she will go on living a relatively healthy life with or without a stupid juice cleanse! My great grandmother lived to 103 and like most Parisian women, drinking and smoking were part of her livelihood. She rollerskated in her 90′s! What an idiot! She could have fallen and broken a hip, right? I’m sure that’s what some of you judgers would say. But maybe it was her adventurous, fearless spirit that kept her going. Our society is so stifled by judgment and fear that we can’t even drink a fucking glass of juice without worry. Weird shit if you ask me.

However, most people now say that to truly give your body the nutrients and calories it needs, a juice feast must be done. I agree with the above posters on knowing how to do it before you do it. Make sure you have a good juicer. Pulp should come out pretty dry. And yes, it will begin to go bad. If you can’t drink it right away, freeze it until you are ready to drink. I just had about 32 ounces of green/fruit juice, and I have to say, my body is positively singing right now! I feel amazing. Not hungry at all. I have yet to go through the detox phase. Though I will admit, I am still trying to figure out how to do a long cleanse without breaking the bank. Perhaps watermelon in my juice daily? I also thought of perhaps doing the juice twice a day and doing a detoxifying Asian congee soup for dinner.

P.S. I really don’t think it is all that kind to make rude comments, however, to those who called the author dumb and cheap. Last I remembered, there has only been one perfect individual who walked this earth.

The jury is out on juice fasting — some swear by it for its positive effects on health and the emotions, with studies to back them up. Some say it is damaging or dangerous, with studies to back them up.
My two cents: Listen to your body. It’s your friend and companion for life. If your body says “Not for me,” then go with that. Your body will never lie to you if you listen with compassion.
All the same, I’m very amused by your juicing misadventure.

I have worked for raw food restaurants and juice cleanse businesses- and from my experience, those things (even the pressed juices, oxidize after a couple days and start to ferment. More the ones with carrot or beet, the sugars trigger the process). Especially when exposed to any heat beyond your fridge.

It’s my professional opinion not to drink any juices after 1 day unless it was a hydraulic press juicer because it can oxidize and start turning. Whether it was actually fermented juice or just rotten is up to the authors’ judgement.

I agree with many of the comments about doing the cleanse the right way. You need a juicer and need to consume the juices immediately. I did a 3-day cleanse and had such great success. It changed my diet completely! I have a completely different relationship with food now and have resolved some hormonal and emotional issues through simply through ridding myself of cravings and basing my meal around raw vegetables, juices and and plant-based proteins. I loved it so much I’m doing the cleanse again this week! Try again, doing it the right way.
