Juice Cleanse (Three Days) - Post Work Out...?

I’m naturally a healthy eater, and very active. Me playing sports/ working out, then eating chicken and broccoli just about every night has gotten pretty dull, health-wise.

I’ve heard people talk about these cleanses for years. Figured I’d give it a shot. Hoping to feel a little more energized and rejuvenated.

Better of just drinking coffee and eating pineapples.

Cleanses are made up bullshite pushed by gym bunnies for views and money. Don’t waste your time. Try eating more fruit and getting more sleep at night.

Explain to me the biochemistry behind your juice cleanse.

What is it cleaning and how?

That sounds miserable.

Ha. Dude - I don’t know shite about biology

Bio and biochem are related, but not the same. And you should do research in relation to nutrition and training. If you want to consume better foods, eat them. You can find ways to incorporate them into other foods if you don’t like them by themselves. All these cleanses are 100% bullshite. They don’t help you lose weight in a healthy way, you lose fiber when you blend food and it’s just another crap product pushed by silicone barbie dolls in super tight spanx trying to whore out for notoriety. For the record, I like whores. Just don’t buy their stupid shite.

And I eat all white meat. My thought was that maybe I could benefit from more vegetable consumption by drinking juice (because I love juice). I don’t particularly love eating beats, ginger, or kale. But I’ll sure as shite drink it.

I think you may want to clarify what’s in your “juice” for these guys. It sounds like most think you’re doing some sort of cayenne pepper, lemon juice, and maple syrup type thing. (Which would be fine for a 72 hour “fast”, I think, like 777 mentioned. I think a 72 hour fast is probably good for everybody a few times a year.) Or doing a V8 type juice “cleanse.” Which like they mention would be pretty pointless. But if you’re blending up fresh, raw, organic vegetables and fruits that you normally wouldn’t consume and making more of a smoothie than a juice, then I say go for it. I would add in some protein powder, though, if you’re gonna continue to lift.

I’m a believer—as most on here probably are too—in your body eventually adjusting to almost any type of workout or diet (way of eating) not a fad) and not being able to take advantage of the benefits of such, so its good to switch it up once you pave hit that plateau. Just be smart and do research. Not huge weightlifting gurus (though they work out), but I’d recommend podcasts by Ben Greenfield and Rhonda Patrick on anti-aging and being your most healthy, energetic self. There’s some really interesting stuff out there based on actual hardcore science.

Rhonda is an actual scientist.

Yet she still says BS or at the very least she confuses the hell out of people.

I love Ben, I really do, but he does a LOT of stuff that definitely isn't backed by science. I do love that he is willing to n=1 pretty much anything.

I like Ben even though he is a quack sometimes because he is willing to guinea pig himself when it comes to the grey market sarms and peptides which I appreciate and respect.
