You\u2019re perhaps wondering whether a 5-day juice cleanse would make you feel better. It\u2019s understandable to want to reset your diet, particularly after making poor food choices for a while.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2196&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=5_Day_Juice_Cleanse_\" target=\"_blank\"><video autoplay=\"autoplay\" loop=\"loop\" muted=\"muted\" playsinline=\"playsinline\" width=\"777\"><source src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ezgif.com-gif-to-mp4-2.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\" \/><\/video><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In recent times, everyone has been raving about \u201cjuicing\u201d to \u201cdetox\u201d and lose weight. What are juice cleanses? Do they work? Are they safe? We\u2019ve compiled the latest research and commentary from health experts. Here is what you need to know before you go on a juice cleanse.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_a_Juice_Cleanse\"><\/span><b>What Is a Juice Cleanse?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A juice cleanse is a liquid diet that typically involves consuming only juices from fruits and vegetables. It significantly restricts the calories you consume. Juicing involves more than blending fruits and vegetables &#8211; you must also separate the pulp from the liquid. Normally, cleanses last for 3-10 days.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_Juice_Cleanses_Work\"><\/span><b>Do Juice Cleanses Work?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advocates of this diet bank on the nutritional profile of fruits and vegetables. They claim that juicing offers your body a variety of elusive nutrients in a form that is easy to absorb.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, they claim that going on such a diet allows your body to get rid of \u201ctoxins\u201d that have accumulated over time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2196&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=5_Day_Juice_Cleanse_\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-60013\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Celery-Juice-For-Weight-Loss_-Why-It-Doesnt-Work-And-What-To-Drink-Instead-1024x576.png\" alt=\"5 Day Juice Cleanse \" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Celery-Juice-For-Weight-Loss_-Why-It-Doesnt-Work-And-What-To-Drink-Instead.png 1024w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Celery-Juice-For-Weight-Loss_-Why-It-Doesnt-Work-And-What-To-Drink-Instead-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Celery-Juice-For-Weight-Loss_-Why-It-Doesnt-Work-And-What-To-Drink-Instead.png 768w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Celery-Juice-For-Weight-Loss_-Why-It-Doesnt-Work-And-What-To-Drink-Instead-1636x920.png 1636w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, there is one glaring misconception about juicing and weight loss that has been fuelled by pop culture. Social media endorsements make juice cleanses seem like a one-size-fits-all weight loss strategy. Many have wondered: why put in hours on the treadmill when you could simply drink juice and call it a day?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The truth is that a <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/7-day-juice-diet\/\">juice cleanse<\/a> isn\u2019t a shortcut to weight loss. No scientific research supports the efficacy of juice cleanses for weight loss or any other health benefit. According to the<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, there have only been a small number of studies on the efficacy of cleansing programs (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nccih.nih.gov\/health\/detoxes-and-cleanses-what-you-need-to-know\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). The studies are small in size, poorly designed, and not peer-reviewed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, is a juice cleanse pointless? Kind of. But you can still give it a try for a short amount of time if you\u2019re curious, as long as you eventually go back to regular eating habits. There\u2019s a method to the madness. Let\u2019s break it down for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>If you wish to free yourself from all the extra pounds that have been weighing you down for way too long, <a class=\"in-cell-link\" href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2196&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=5_Day_Juice_Cleanse_\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">start using the BetterMe: Health Coaching app<\/a> and overhaul your entire life!<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Expect_on_a_5-Day_Juice_Cleanse\"><\/span><b>What to Expect on a 5-Day Juice Cleanse<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re interested in the 5-day juice cleanse to lose weight, we highly recommend that you look into healthy, balanced meals instead. That being said, juices are a great way to add a variety of vitamins and minerals to a healthy balanced diet. More importantly, you can go on a so-called \u201ccleanse\u201d to reinforce certain healthy eating habits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By avoiding sugar, caffeine, and ultra-processed foods you get a head start on healthy eating. The 3 or 5-day juice cleanse gives you a chance to gradually reintroduce healthy foods. What happens to your body when you survive on juice for days? Here\u2019s what you should expect:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_1_You_Might_Miss_Chewing\"><\/span><b>Day 1: You Might Miss Chewing<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On day one of your juice cleanse, you may think too much about eating. As meals are habitual, such thoughts are unavoidable. You may also miss chewing as you get used to surviving on liquid all day. The thoughts of food and snacks can be distracting, but they usually subside eventually (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shape.com\/lifestyle\/mind-and-body\/your-body-juice-cleanse\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to listen to your body during the cleansing period. Learn how to discern hunger from boredom. If you feel genuinely hungry, it\u2019s okay to take a healthy snack.

The juice ingredients vary from one day to the next. Regardless of which juice recipe you prefer, below are 4 important steps your plan must have:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Step 1: Pre-Cleanse<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Waking up with a hangover one morning and starting a <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/3-day-juice-cleanse-recipe\/\">juice cleanse<\/a> is a terrible idea. No matter how urgently you feel you should hop onto the trend, take time to prepare for it. A pre-cleanse is a way of easing into the juice diet. It entails gradually switching to \u201cclean\u201d eating to get your body accustomed to the idea.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How long you pre-cleanse depends on how your typical diet is, according to juicing experts (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectjuice.com\/how-to-cleanse\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Ideally, they suggest you should \u201cclean up\u201d your diet for 2-7 days before embarking on the cleanse. If you\u2019ve been eating healthy foods for a while, a 1-2 day pre-cleanse may be sufficient.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve been a junk food enthusiast, spend 7 days switching to healthy alternatives. If you eat healthy food most of the time but occasionally indulge in junk food, 3-4 days of pre-cleansing are recommended by juicing fanatics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pre-cleansing is quite easy and it reinforces healthy eating habits that you should retain after the so-called cleanse is over.

You can also opt for ready-to-drink varieties that are sold by popular juicing companies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Either way, you should consider the following factors when choosing which juices to use:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fruits and vegetables that are in season are always cheaper<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Juicing requires special equipment<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should have enough time in your schedule to prepare fresh juice daily<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With ready-to-drink juices, read the label to check for additives<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Store juices properly to avoid spoilage\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Step 3: Listen to Your Body<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moderation is always key, regardless of your diet and eating habits. If you feel weak or uncomfortable and have persistent hunger pangs, it\u2019s okay to eat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Healthy snacks such as vegetables, fruits, vegetable broth, and soups may ease your discomfort. You shouldn\u2019t punish your body by forcing yourself to survive on juice, even when you\u2019re uncomfortable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Step 4: Ease Back into Solid Foods<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ending a cleanse should be done gradually to give your digestive system time to adapt. The day after your \u201cdetox\u201d, eat lightly steamed vegetables and nuts. Broth and foods with a slightly liquid consistency are also recommended.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid ultra-processed foods, dairy, and meat right away. It could take at least 3 days to get back to your ordinary diet, but even then, keep your portions small and introduce one food at a time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You could keep a journal and record your body\u2019s response to each food.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2196&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=5_Day_Juice_Cleanse_\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-55527\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/zero-calorie-drinks-intermittent-fasting-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/zero-calorie-drinks-intermittent-fasting.png 1024w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/zero-calorie-drinks-intermittent-fasting-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/zero-calorie-drinks-intermittent-fasting.png 768w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/zero-calorie-drinks-intermittent-fasting-1636x920.png 1636w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/zero-calorie-drinks-intermittent-fasting.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_the_Best_5-Day_Juice_Cleanse_Weight_Loss_Recipes\"><\/span><b>What Are the Best 5-Day Juice Cleanse Weight Loss Recipes?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to do the 5-day <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/30-day-juice-fast-weight-loss\/\">juice cleanse plan<\/a> at home, you\u2019ll need some recipes.

Furthermore, putting your body in starvation mode can make you lose muscle rather than just fat (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatingwell.com\/article\/281209\/cleanses-detox-diets-are-they-safe\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Why? Because your body panics and \u201cholds\u201d onto fat anticipating more starvation. The problem with losing muscle mass is your metabolism slows down. When you start eating again, you\u2019re more likely to gain weight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key to weight loss is a caloric deficit (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC8017325\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). There are many healthy ways of achieving it, including good food choices, portion control, and increased physical activity. Anything that seems too restrictive and promises a quick-fix is unsustainable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always choose a weight loss plan that fits into your lifestyle and can be sustained in the long term.

They also lack fiber, which is essential for proper digestion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That being said, taking juice in addition to your three balanced meals each day is possible. If you struggle to eat whole fruits and vegetables daily, juices are perfect for you.

When you consume ready-to-drink juices that have not been pasteurized, you\u2019re at a higher risk of food poisoning. The FDA requires untreated products to carry a warning label stating that they may contain harmful bacteria.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are other safety concerns related to taking juice only for several days (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nccih.nih.gov\/health\/detoxes-and-cleanses-what-you-need-to-know\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

This is because the initial weight loss involves water and glycogen, which are quickly replenished once regular food intake resumes. To maintain some of the weight loss post-cleanse, it\u2019s essential to adopt a balanced diet and lifestyle changes that include healthy eating and regular physical activity.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_You_Workout_on_a_Juice_Cleanse\"><\/span><b>Can You Workout on a Juice Cleanse?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it\u2019s possible to exercise during a juice cleanse, it&#8217;s recommended to keep workouts light to moderate. Intense exercise may be challenging due to the limited caloric intake and potential lack of energy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Activities such as walking, yoga, or stretching can be suitable options. It\u2019s important to listen to your body and prioritize hydration and rest to avoid exhaustion or dizziness.

A 3-day cleanse is often recommended for beginners as it\u2019s less intense and easier to manage, which reduces the risk of fatigue and nutrient deficiencies. It allows the body a short break from digesting solid foods, potentially leading to increased energy or a general feeling of well-being.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, a 5-day cleanse requires greater commitment and can be more challenging due to the extended duration of restricted calories.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s important to consider personal health conditions and consult a healthcare professional before deciding on the duration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you prefer to start slowly, check out all you need to know about a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/3-day-detox-diet\/\"><b>3-Day Cleanse Diet<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in our previous article.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul><li><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_a_juice_cleanse_heal_your_gut\"><\/span><strong>Can a juice cleanse heal your gut?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Juice cleanses are often marketed as beneficial for gut health, but evidence supporting their effectiveness in healing the gut is limited.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While consuming fresh juices may provide a temporary rest for the digestive system and a boost in vitamins and antioxidants, it\u2019s unlikely to address underlying gut issues such as imbalances in gut flora or chronic digestive disorders.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A balanced diet that is rich in fiber, probiotics, and whole foods is typically more effective for promoting long-term gut health (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC9787832\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC10935031\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">11<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S2214799322001102\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

In addition, coffee can disrupt the digestive system&#8217;s rest, which is a primary goal of the cleanse.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re a regular coffee drinker, you should consider gradually reducing your intake before starting the cleanse to minimize withdrawal symptoms such as headaches or fatigue. Herbal teas or hot water with lemon are good alternatives to maintain warmth and comfort without caffeine.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul><li><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_shouldnt_I_eat_after_a_juice_cleanse\"><\/span><strong>What shouldn\u2019t I eat after a juice cleanse?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a juice cleanse, it&#8217;s important to gradually reintroduce solid foods to avoid digestive discomfort.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start with easy-to-digest foods such as fruits, steamed vegetables, and whole grains, such as brown rice or quinoa. Avoid ultra-processed foods, refined sugars, dairy, red meat, and heavy, fatty meals immediately after the cleanse, as they can be taxing on the digestive system.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead, focus on whole, nutritious foods and maintain hydration with plenty of water.

The articles she writes focus on providing factual information \u2013 but never at the expense of providing an entertaining read. Her interest in health &amp; wellness was sparked by her motherhood journey. She realized just how much damage misinformation could cause, especially when it is targeted at new moms who are keen on postpartum weight loss. So for years, she has worked hard to demystify the seemingly complex concepts of health &amp; wellness. Eventually, she made one startling discovery that she wishes to share with all \u2013 there is no short cut. Consistency and hard work are the keys to a healthy mind and body. But, writing is not all she does. Being a mother to an energetic toddler means her free time is spent exploring the outdoors, arms laden with cotton candy and toys. Through the daily intrigues of work and play, she continues to discover and share more ways to keep fit and stay healthy!","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/zindzygracia58517578"],"url":"https:\/\/dev.betterme.world\/articles\/author\/zindzygracia\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16777","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/37"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16777"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dev.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16777\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":67983,"href":"https:\/\/dev.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16777\/revisions\/67983"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/67982"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16777"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16777"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16777"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=16777"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
