It’s The Healer again – this time made with kiwi, leafy greens, banana, oranges, and Green Synergy Powder-and it tastes amazing. I mix up my juices today opting for the 4.30 juice at 11 am. Instead, my coffee kick starts my digestion today, and trust me-you don't want me to expand on that. At 8:30am I only drink half of the Lemon and Ginger Tonic-it makes me physically wretch. That’s what happens I guess when you drink half a litre of juice before hitting the sack.

Apart from my overly full bladder waking me up at 1am, desperate for a wee.
So, it’s no surprise my stomach is wanting some grub. The juice cleanse diet racks up about 900-1000 calories a day, a far cry from the NHS recommended 2000 calories-a-day. I can’t help it-I have this incessant desire to chew something. I cheat again with a huge bowl of yoghurt and granola afterwards though. I get home for dinner-a yellow, fruit-filled juice, which also tastes great. I’m not bloated, but I keep getting urges to ‘go’. Plus, I feel quite energised after and ready for a busy evening of teaching gym classes. This one contains avocado, mango, watercress, pineapple and Green Synergy Powder-packed with protein. I’m a sucker for green juice, but as they tend to pack in insane amounts of fruit, I am also a little wary of the sugar hit. Lunchtime is at 1.30-another 500ml bottle of goodness-which actually does actually fill me up this time.
I’m unsure whether I’m hungry because I KNOW I can’t eat, or if I am in fact starving, which does feel possible. I’m legitimately hungry and it’s not even been half a day. Well, just 15 minutes later, things ‘have been pushed along’ alright and I experience my first juice diet movement.Īt 11.35am-just 1 hour and 15 minutes after my second juice-I cave in and have some seeds. It’s a tasty mix of summery fruits, as well as flaxseed, known to help digestion and, erm, push things along. But it’s only 10.20 and I’m peckish and I can't resist. Later in the morning, it’s time for my first 500ml juice-The Rehydrator, to be drunk at 11am. But, it’s bitter lemon and firey ginger with no honey to offset with sweetness, so what was I expecting? Post-workout, I arrive at my desk and knock back a sour-tasting Lemon & Ginger Tonic-to be drunk at 8.30am-aptly described as ‘the healer’. I throw myself into my usual morning workout – a mixture of weights, cardio and high-intensity interval training. As a personal trainer and health writer, would I be listening? No. It’s recommended that hard cardio is avoided whilst on the cleanse, although gentle exercise is encouraged.

I’m excited, although I'm still skeptical that this will keep me full. There’s one morning tonic and four 500ml juices-each a bright, vibrant ‘healthy’ color. Each bag carries a day's worth of juices. I sheepishly put the juices away-back to the hummus. There are also sausages and garlic bread in the oven.
I’m actually spreading generous lumps of hummus on crackers when the delivery man turns up. Two black gift-bag style bags arrive at my flat the afternoon before I kick off my juice cleanse.
