Our good friend and customer Julia has just completed her first Antidote Cleanse and was kind enough to share her experience with us. We are pleased that, after a few initial difficulties, she really enjoyed it. But just read for yourself...
Hello everyone, I'm Julia, 23 years old and a law student in Munich. All in all, I would describe myself as a very nutrition-conscious person. I always pay attention to what I eat - the quality has to be right and it shouldn't be too heavy. I've already looked into the topic of detox a bit, and I've even already done a therapeutic fast. The topic of juice cleanse is pretty new to me, though. When I found out that my friends were now making their own juice, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to try it out. I'd like to share my experiences with you. I kept a little diary during my cleanse, which I'd like to share here.
- Day 1 Weight: 53.0 kg
- I feel very good after my first day and don't feel particularly hungry yet, but I'm a little colder than usual and I'm feeling a little tired. This meant I was able to fall asleep very quickly. I'm excited about tomorrow.
- Day 2 Weight: 52.2 kg
- Today I'm really motivated, but I'm already having a bit of trouble concentrating this morning when I'm working on my seminar paper. When my boyfriend prepared a delicious dinner, I got really jealous. I also took some Schuessler salts. In contrast to yesterday, I had a bit of trouble falling asleep. I hope it will be easier tomorrow.
- Day 3 Weight: 51.0 kg
- After the first juice in the morning, my hunger was gone, but I still had trouble concentrating. By midday I was already feeling a bit shaky, which continued until I felt really drained in the afternoon. It looks like it's not going to be a really good day again today.
Unfortunately, I had to stop this cleanse because of persistent concentration problems. My seminar paper has to be finished - that comes first! After I hand it in, I will do another five-day antidote cleanse and hope that it will be easier for me then. The first conclusion is that you really do have to give yourself and your body some time, I thought the whole thing would be easier. After a short break of a few days and handing in my seminar paper, I want to do another 5-day juice detox. Let's see how it goes this time without all the stress...
- Day 1 Weight: 53.3 kg
- I felt very good all day, is that because of the free time or the juice? I haven't felt hungry yet but I'm a bit colder than usual - I'm shivering quite a bit.
- Day 2 Weight: 52.0 kg
- Today I feel totally balanced, fit and full of energy. Let's see what this day brings - I'm going out the door now. In the afternoon I got hungry again but I managed to get through it until the evening. The Johnny Cashew really hit me hard and I was able to go to bed full and sleep well.
- Day 3 Weight: 51.5 kg
- Since I'm out and about a lot today, I'll keep it short: I feel really great, nothing compared to the third day of my first attempt. Somehow I can't really get the gingerade down. But I'm really looking forward to the next Pineapple Express - so far it's definitely my favorite!
- Day 4 Weight: 50.0 kg
- I still feel great! The cravings seem to have slowly gone away - my body seems to be slowly getting used to it all.
- Day 5 Weight: 49.7 kg
- Today I got up really early and am really looking forward to the juices. It's strange that it was so easy for me this time - but I'm still proud that I managed it this evening. I still don't feel like having a hearty meal, so I'll probably make do with some salad for now.
Conclusion of the days after the cleanse:
I have to say, I really miss the juices! Even when I eat something again now, I don't have any problems. My friend complained of slight stomach problems after her cleanse, but I don't have any of that. I didn't notice any real change in my skin or hair. All in all, the cleanse was a great experience for me - definitely easier and tastier than the last time I did a therapeutic fast! I think I'll definitely do it again, maybe for more than five days. There was a huge difference between my first attempt and the time I finally went through with it.
So my tip is to get some rest and avoid stressful activities.
Thanks to the guys from Antidote, I will definitely recommend you!
