Influencer Melli of Mellisfoodporndeluxe and her boyfriend Maxim completed the I DO Bio Balance juice cleanse together for 12 days and shared their experience with us. Melli (35) and Maxim (35) live on the beautiful Lake Constance and have a son and two daughters. Melli describes her juice cleanse experience as the best way to cleanse her body and thus do something good for it. In their review, the couple shares what they learned from their juice cleanse experience and how they felt during it.
Why did we want to have a juice cleanse experience?
As a working mom with two jobs, it's sometimes difficult to maintain a healthy diet due to lack of time and stress. Since I already did the I DO 12-day juice cleanse six months ago, now, after stopping my hormonal contraception, was the perfect time for another juice cleanse. It's a great way to detoxify, cleanse the body, and do something good for it.
After my boyfriend noticed at the beginning of the year how good the 12-day fasting cure was for me, he was of course on board straight away and I was absolutely excited to see how he, the absolute coffee junkie and meatloaf gourmet, would cope with the juice cleanse.
Why did we decide to try an organic juice cleanse with I DO?
Back then, while searching for the right juice cleanse, I came across I DO. I was impressed by the raw food quality and the sustainability the company values. After completing the 12-day program, I was also impressed by the taste and would choose I DO organic juices again.
Our first three days of the juice cleanse experience
Since things didn't always go according to plan as a mom, I started the 10 days with my boyfriend without any preparation. Just like the first time, the first few days were surprisingly easy. My boyfriend didn't miss solid food or his beloved coffee either.
On the first day, it didn't bother me at all, because whenever I started to feel hungry, the two hours were already up and it was time for the next juice. Only on the third day was everything very tempting for a moment, but with a little distraction, you can easily get through the day. Since my boyfriend was doing the juice cleanse with me, it was convenient for me that I only had to worry about food for my son and not for my partner as well.
I am actually convinced that the composition of the Bio Balance juice cleanse ensures that you don't lack anything, as we didn't have any cravings at all during the entire 12 days.
What did we learn from our juice cleanse experience?
What my boyfriend found so fascinating was that you finally regained a physical sense of hunger and appetite. He, like me, didn't feel hungry for the entire 12 days.
However, towards the end of the safflower cure, my boyfriend was hungry for various treats and kept telling me what he wanted to eat afterwards.
I, on the other hand, felt a real euphoria towards the end, just like last time. By the second week, I felt absolutely light and fit, and I felt like I could keep doing the juice cleanse forever.
What has changed in the long term as a result of the juice cleanse?
After the juice cleanse, we slowly started eating lighter meals again. And most importantly, we listened to him again: When am I really hungry?
What my boyfriend wants to continue is the morning Fireball Boost with ginger and pepper, a recipe he's currently experimenting with...
Maybe he'll get a box of Fireball Boost from me for his birthday, he was looking forward to that the most, but I was always looking forward to my afternoon Pineapple Passion?
