Yes. Our cleanse juices are carefully crafted and designed to ensure you are getting the right amount of proteins, nutrients, enzymes, vitamins, and calories your body needs. A common misconception is that vegetables and superfoods do not provide the same amount of protein as meat. When in fact they can provide just as much if not more - and a healthier protein at that. Food for Thought: We have become a very calorie driven society. The focus on a maximum allowance of calories per day for whatever food choices we are making - including unhealthy ones. The focus is then on calories and not whether they are good or bad calories and content. One might drink a diet coke or coke 0 because it only has 100 or 0 calories. Yet you are still consuming the damaging artificial sweetener aspartame, artificial caramel color, acesulfame-k, and unknown preservatives = unhealthy damaging calories. If you are focused on clean eating, calorie counting isn’t as much of a need. In turn, if you are eating unhealthy processed foods calorie counting can be beneficial towards helping you achieve a healthier you.

Be in tune with your body. This is especially important if you are wanting to exercise. Your level of detoxing will determine your level of energy. Be sure to pay attention to how you are feeling and meet yourself where you’re at. If you feel bright eyed and full of energy, then continue on, but move through a light and gentle workout so as to not overextended yourself. If you wake feeling fatigued, take it easy and go on a walk, do some stretching, and take a nap if you can - permission to nap? Yes please!

This is an important question. The first thing is to consider is the source. Processed foods vs. raw plant based unprocessed foods. Unprocessed foods are packed with nutrients that feed you. Processed foods often are empty of vital nutrition, but the filler ingredients may also cause health issues due to the chemicals used to make the most of the material used in preparing the processed item. Nutrition is more than just calories, look at the whole picture when researching the value of a food or beverage. Calorie counting has never gotten us anywhere. If your diet consists mostly "wrapper" food, as in it came from a box, or a wrapper, and you have a weight problem, your primary dietary goal should be the limit of those types of calories. You cannot cause obesity and illness in a healthy and clean body that is consuming a diet consisting of vegetation in the form of fruits, vegetable, nuts, sprouts, and seeds. the clean body uses calories efficiently. the clean body stops eating when full. very few food addicts binge on vegetables. they generally reach for stimulating foods such as refined starchy carbs, over-cooked dead food, fried saturated fat, concentrated protein, as well as outright poisons such as processed salt, sugar, and white flour. calories from these substances will clog the digestive system. just like a high performing vehicle, the more low grade fuel you feed the body, the less fuel efficient it becomes. The calories question is complex. The highest degree of knowledge dictates that if you consume calories from raw foods in an unprocessed form, eliminate processed foods, and clean the digestive system, you should slowly lose weight, or at worst maintain a healthy weight without the risk of obesity--no matter how much you consume. this challenges everything you've heard about calories in-energy out. we are not saying you can eat 4,000 calories of raw oatmeal and not gain weight. There is a limit to how far you can challenge physics. we are saying that raw food calories matter less than processed food calories and certainly affect the body differently. If you want to accomplish weight loss or weight maintenance, and if you want to add optimal health to your life, you need to focus on the following things in equal measure: (1) eliminate processed foods; (2) reduce animal protein intake down to a max of three days a week or eliminate it completely; (3) avoid dairy at all costs; (4) do not eat too late or too many times throughout the day; (5) combine foods properly, e.g. no starches and proteins together; (6) drink more raw green juices; and (7) create a reasonable diet plan that you can live with and stick with it. We believe that raw juices are the best fuel for our body. Consuming them make us more biologically-efficient machines and we need fewer calories to get better nutrition. Introducing raw juices to our diet as an everyday habit is a fabulous antidote to the toxins we encounter. Green juices neutralize acids and all raw juices make it easier to maintain blood alkalization. Obviously, we recommend drinking as much juice as possible each and every day. Drinking juice and maintaining a sensible diet that excludes processed food is a step in the right direction towards optimal health. while many of juice’s nutritional benefits are readily displayed on the nutrition facts panel, all juices provide value beyond what is visible on the label. 100% juice is an ample source of phytonutrients (compounds in fruits, vegetables, and other plants that can help prevent and fight disease). Although this benefit is not listed on the label, there is strong scientific support for the role fruits and vegetables play in reducing disease risk. additionally, research shows that drinking 100% juice is associated with a more nutritious diet overall. Studies suggest that appropriate consumption of 100% juice is linked to an overall healthier eating pattern, including reduced intake of total dietary fat, saturated fat, and added sugars.

No problem. During the consultation we find out how much of an avid coffee drinker you are. If you experience the shakes, sever headaches, massive irritability off the stuff, we can help you out. Since we tailor our cleanses to you, we are able to add a more gentle form of caffeine, Matcha green tea powder, to your morning juice. That way you are still getting a little caffeine in a relaxing yet awakening form. Learn more about Matcha Powder here.

You will lose weight because during a cleanse you're leaving out processed and cooked foods, pretty much living calorie deficit.

Juice is food.  With enough variety a raw foods smoothie could be your main substance indefinitely as it provides all the carbs, protein, fats, vitamins, mineral and water you need. 

With the typical modern diet, you need more food because you're getting less of the basic nutrients. therefore, we typically consume far more calories just to get through the day.  We're always hungry and we need more and more stimulation from our food. the payback for this type of lifestyle is that we are gaining weight and aging ourselves faster than what is natural.

On a raw juice cleanse, one of the body’s first healing responses is to shed weight it doesn't need. this is completely unscientific and based solely on observing people doing cleanses.  On a juice cleanse, you're in a calorie deficit.  A day or two into a cleanse , your body becomes far more efficient at using the calories you're taking in. As cleansing continues, you'll feel like you need less while feeling like you have more energy.

Our popular cleanse is the basic six juice per day cleanse. Most people endure three to five days on this plan. This is a short-term cleanse relative to what it takes to do deeper cellular cleansing. A seven to fifteen day cleanse is worth considering for deeper cellular cleansing.

It’s not the juice alone that is performing mystical or magical work—it’s all about what you're leaving out. the simple fact is that during a cleanse you are avoiding processed foods, bad food combinations and overeating. When you do this, your body is allowed to do what it is designed to do: heal.
