A detox seemed the perfect way to start to get things back on track.
I was very impressed with the way Nosh Detox emailed me several times prior to the Detox beginning, I was sent a client form to complete, I was sent inspiring emails to prepare me for the next 3 days, I was sent an email to inform me that everything I needed for the next 3 days would arrive by courier at 10.00am on Friday. On Friday at 09.45am the courier arrived with a huge box containing smoothies, tea, tea filters, bath salts, body brush, castor oil, Nux Vom tablets and instructions.

4 smoothies for the day. It evens gives you the times to drink the smoothies on the bottles.
A different tea for each day.
A different Sea Salt for each day.
Nux Vom, Castor Oil and a Body Brush
Instructions that apply to each of the 3 days.
Everything you need for your 3 days of your Detox Juice Fast. The only thing you have to provide is the 3 litres of water that you need to drink each day.
Day 1 was quite easy, the smoothies are very thick and quite filling, the only thing I struggled with was the tea, I just couldn't fall in love with the taste so I only managed a couple of cups.
Day 2 was a different story. I woke up with a thumping headache and I was starving. On a daily basis I drink lots and lots of tea and coffee and I think the headache was a possible withdrawal symptom of my body craving caffeine. I really struggled with the smoothies on day 2, although they all tasted really nice I was craving food and something hot. My headache lasted all day and I was feeling thoroughly miserable.
Day 3 I woke up minus a headache, I had also had the best night's sleep I'd had in a long time, I felt rested but energised, if that makes sense. I still wasn't loving the teas but I drank as much as I could. I managed the smoothies much better on this day and that coupled with the water meant I had no hunger pangs either.
You also continue to get inspiration emails to encourage and support you.
I enjoyed using the body brush and bath salts, there is a different one for each day. What I didn't enjoy was the Castor Oil, this is something that I haven't come into contact with since I was a child, all I have to say about it is 'yuk'.
So apart from the Tea and Castor Oil the only other thing you need to be aware of if you do this programme is the extra time you spend in the bathroom, all that water and all that fresh juice really does cleanse your system.
I am really impressed with this 3 Day Juice Fast, it was easy to fit in around my normal life, although day 2 was tough I am so glad I stuck with it. This has really set me up to start a healthy eating regime, I feel motivated and ready to take myself to task and cut out all of the rubbish in my diet. Over the 3 days I got into the habit of having a smoothie at certain times of the day, I am hoping to now do this with food. As scales are banned from my house I don't know how much weight I lost, I know I have lost some weight and I certainly don't feel as bloated.

Sounds like a really interesting system, I'd love to do something like this. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try a few different cleanses once bub is born :) great review :)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds good, but way too expensive for me :( X
ReplyDelete@Vintage Makeup, it is a really good system as everything is ready prepared so no excuse not to stick to it. Jude x
ReplyDelete@Jadegrrrl I am sure this would be the perfect detox once you have recovered from having the baby. Jude xx
@Stundon I totally agree that it is expensive, I wouldn't have been able to afford this at the moment, but I think it would be a good thing to do once a year if you could persuade someone to purchase it for you as a present :) Jude x
wish this was available in Asia! although we do have heaps of detox tea brands lying around. this sounds healthier though.
ReplyDeletesounds lovely! i am really tempted by this! i know i know, i am so late in commenting.

ReplyDeletethere is currently a deal on groupon for a nosh juice fast although its for 5 days not 3 and is slightly differant, still worth a look at £99
ReplyDeleteI have had a horrible experience. My detox was due last night so I could start today. Van did not turn up and they phoned to say they could get it to me by 7am. Had to go to work and did not hear anything. I phone them to be told the delivery would be with me at 9am. I waited and then asked them to deliver anytime but leave it in my back garden. Got back from work still no delivery to get a message which said my juices had been in the van all day without refrigeration (its a cold day) and they have to have them redelivered....so not here yet. They are late by 24 hours...this is so rubbish, I have an event to attend on saturday and would have liked to have finished by then. I have given up and will never call them again...
ReplyDeleteHorrible experience with Nosh as well. Signed up for the 5 day diet that was supposed to be delivered in 2 rounds so we didn't have to freeze the juices. Got the juices for the first 2 days the evening before and started the diet. The next delivery that was supposed to come the evening before the 3rd day, didn't arrive and no information. I called and was told the delivery is running late and will be with you by 11pm. 11:30pm no delivery. All next day I was doing the calling and emailing and the juices arrived at 4pm. So basically the entire diet was a sham as spent ALL of day 3 chasing Nosh on an empty stomach.
ReplyDeleteReally, really bad customer service
Before considering a juice fast, please understand two important facts:
ReplyDelete1. While crash diets do cause weight loss, a large amount of the decrease can be attributed to lost water or muscle mass. Humans are not equipped to properly handle extreme weight loss in a short amount of time, and programs like juice cleanses can often lead to decreased metabolism and other side effects.
2. These cleanses cause extreme spikes and valleys in blood sugar levels, which can be extremely dangerous, especially to those at risk of diabetes. Juice cleanses and other 'extreme' fad diets also can contribute to accelerated aging effects.

Definitely not sure about Juice Detox cleanses.
ReplyDeleteIts seems to be a little like the Catholic redemption idea. Do what you want with your diet and then just do a detox and everything will be OK. Say some Hail Marys and your sins are expunged.
Whats needed is a consistent healthy and balanced diet. NO PROCESSED FOOD!
