Starting a cleanse on the right foot with this prep plan can make a big difference in how you feel and how successful your cleanse will be! Let me know if you need help choosing juices or tracking your progress!

One Week Before Cleanse

Begin Cutting Caffeine and Sugar: Reduce your intake of coffee, soda, and sugar. This will help your body adjust, minimizing withdrawal symptoms during the cleanse.

Increase Water Intake: Start drinking at least 8 glasses of water daily to hydrate your body well in advance.

Incorporate More Fruits and Vegetables: Start adding more raw fruits and vegetables to your meals. This will ease the transition from solid foods to juices.

Limit Processed Foods: Begin reducing intake of processed foods, refined grains, and fried foods.

Three Days Before Cleanse

Cut Out Animal Products: Remove meat, dairy, and eggs from your meals. Replace them with plant-based proteins like beans and lentils.

Focus on Plant-Based Eating: Transition to light, plant-based meals that are easy on your digestive system, like salads, soups, and smoothies.

Reduce Heavy Starches: Cut down on breads, pasta, and other starchy carbs. Replace with lighter grains, like quinoa or brown rice, and focus on raw or steamed vegetables.

Gradually Reduce Portions: Begin eating smaller portions to allow your stomach to adjust.

One Day Before Cleanse

Go Fully Plant-Based and Raw: Aim to eat raw fruits and vegetables only. This will prepare your digestive system to adjust to liquid-only nutrition.

Prepare Your Juices or Ingredients: If you’re making the juices at home, prep and store ingredients or make the juices and refrigerate/freeze them. Make sure everything is ready so there’s no temptation to skip.

Light Exercise Only: Avoid any intense workouts that could deplete your energy.

Get Good Rest: A good night’s sleep will help you start the cleanse feeling refreshed and energized.
