I would like nothing more than to crack open a cold-pressed juice with the ladies, treadmill days are for the girls, am I right?
If your loved one suffering from juice-cleanse-itis you may want to have an intervention ASAP. Symptoms include drinking only juices for meals, complaining about “if only I could eat that entire pizza and piece of cake… but I’m on this juice cleanse so I can’t, UGH!” OR of course if the insta, snap, insta story contains a green drink… they may have this diagnosis. Additionally, if they complain about how badly they ate last week and a juice cleanse will fix it all is also a symptom. These people are VERY dangerous so don’t DARE to question why they are doing such a thing, they turn into godzilla because they are hangry. Also, God forbid they eat ANYTHING on this cleanse because then… obviously... all of the starvation will be ruined. Juice cleanses have been a trend for a while now. People use this trend as an excuse not to eat or as a rapid way to “undo” the bad eating they might have indulged in. While this may be effective, it is in no way healthy. The reason they aren’t healthy is because people abuse them. People use them as a meal replacement which they aren’t supposed to be. I know this because I used to do the same thing. I would use juice cleanses as a meal replacement when I was afraid to eat a full meal. I would get irritable and I would make excuses about not eating because I was on this juice cleanse. I would complain about how hungry I was because I wanted people to know I wasn’t eating. What I have learned since then is that juice cleanses are unnecessary, if you feel so bad about how you ate, eat a vegetable, meal prep, anything but a cleanse! Clean your closet, go for a run, organize something. Any of those things will give you the satisfaction of control that most people feel when they lose control in terms of their eating. While these aren’t permanent fixes, there are so many alternative, healthier, and tastier options than turning to drinking juiced vegetables. XOXO, Em |
