If you’re considering an orange juice fast, I salute you.
Essentially, all you’ll be doing is drinking orange juice for a certain amount of time. No food. No sweets. No wine or beer.
That’s right – just orange juice.
Think you can handle it?
Below, I explain how to do an orange juice cleanse and I also provide you with a recipe (hint: it has orange juice in it!). You get to enjoy the benefits of juicing.
Many people cry out the praises of juice fasting with orange juice as the benefits can be so profound. Doing one of these is a simple and easy way to regain your health or boost it even further if your health is already rockin’.
What’s juice fasting?
Juice fasting can be thought of simply as fasting with juice.
For a set period of time, you eat nothing. In the place of food, you drink as much fresh juice as you feel like drinking.
Fresh juice has the pulp removed. This means that it does not reset the metabolism and the body acts as though it hasn’t eaten since you began the fast. The benefits come from the fact that despite your body thinking it’s not eating, it’s still getting huge amounts of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants from the fresh fruit and vegetable juice.
Many people report that while juice fasting their state of mind becomes surreal. Their energy goes through the roof and they float around in a state of bliss.
Interested? Let’s do an orange juice fast.
How to Do an Orange Juice Fast
Are you ready? It’s very complicated. Here’s step 1:
- Drink one pint (half a liter) or freshly squeeze orange juice each day (This is a minimum, you can drink all the juice you want).
Is there a step 2? Nope!
It’s that easy.
You can use a citrus juicer, centrifugal juicer, single gear juicer or twin gear juicer.
Do this for 14 days and see how you feel.
If you want to get bonus points and a gold star (you’ll have to give yourself the gold star), mix 1-2 teaspoons of epsom salts in a glass of distilled water. They taste like crap but they help by lowering hunger cravings. They also act as a laxative so you’ll gently clean on your colon within the hour. This helps with the detoxing process.
At the end, switch to a raw food diet for a few days to ease yourself out of the fast.
Tips to Make an Orange Juice Cleanse Work
Along with the regular orange juice drinking, make sure you get a lot of water. I’m sure you’ve heard about the human body being up to 60% water. If you don’t drink enough water, you become dehydrated and your brain shrinks.
Yikes!
So drink lots of water. I keep a bottle next to me all day so I’m constantly drinking.
If you’re struggling through the fast, make some fresh carrot juice. This applies to people who are low on energy and those who just can’t focus on anything (read: low mental energy).
When fasting, the body’s digestive enzymes shut down and this is what eliminates hunger pangs. For this reason, you need to ensure you get as much pulp out of the orange juice as possible before drinking. If you use a single or twin gear juicer, this will be much easier. The pulp kicks your digestive enzymes into gear and will make you feel hungry.
Keep a diary of each day and make note of how you feel. Write down your energy levels, you feelings of wellbeing and any other thoughts that occur to you. You will probably find that as the fast goes on, your mind becomes crystal clear and you finish on a “juicy” high. This is a great time to journal and think lots.
