You see, I hated it exceptionally, and I had to give it a
few days to let the passion of my hatred wear down a bit.
Maybe my expectations were a bit off. Before I started this
cleanse I'd been told time and time again how these cleanses make one feel full
of energy. Sure, you don't eat for three days, but you have juice! Who needs
food when you have juice?!
Me. That's who.
Lets begin with the process of creating the juice. Granted,
I don't have a juicer, so the process of juicing was much more labor intensive
for me than it would be for the average juice enthusiast.
The process began with me blending all the fruits and
vegetables. Next, I put the mixture in my french press and strained it. Over.
And over. And over. Just imagine you have a french press full of blended
vegetables, and then press down on it as hard as you can. A bit of juice rises
to the surface, which you pour into your cup. The level of liquid in the glass
rises about a centimeter. So you stir up the mixture in the french press and repeat.
Over. And over. And over.
That part was definitely the absolute worst. I was getting
gray hairs by the time I strained the mixture and squeezed out the correct
amount of juice. It took about an hour and a half to make the juice for the
entire day.
That however, would have been worth it if it if that was the
only negative aspect.
My least favorite part of this cleanse was the fact that I
had an insane headache the entire time I was doing it. I guess the toxins get
very angry as they leave your system. At least that's the only explanation I
can come up with that explains the nonstop ear-splitting headache that stayed
with me all day (and night) long.
Honestly, if I'd expected to feel miserable, and if I had a
juicer, I would have been pleased with my DIY BluePrint Juice Cleanse. Because
I didn't really feel miserable. I felt tired and weak and my head ached, but as
soon as I started eating again, I felt incredible.
I would recommend this cleanse to anyone who:
#1. Has a juicer at their disposal.
#2. Is not addicted to caffeine and can forgo it without
agony.
#3. Does not have an active job and can go days with zero
food.
So, that is my opinion on the DIY BluePrint Juice Cleanse.
To all those who wish to go forward with it, I wish you my best, and highly
recommend that you wean yourself off coffee or tea before you get too ambitious
with the juice.
