New Year Cleanse!

I'm all about starting the New Year off right, and at the top of my New Year's resolutions are usually something about diet and health. This year is no different. I decided to start off my weight loss goals right on January 1st and pre-ordered a 3-day cleanse from TotalCleanse.ca starting today!
I am on the refresh cleanse and it involves 6 bottles a day with alternating juices taken throughout the day.
1. Green Energy
2. Lemonade
3. Green Energy
4. Very Berry
5. Lemonade
6. Green Energy
It gets delivered to your house already prepared in cute little green lunch cooler things-so it is super convenient! Caution-NO Coffee! This is really hard for me so I hope that something in the product keeps me up throughout the day.I am not one to eat consistently throughout the day so cleanses are a great way to get your body used to consuming something every few hours.  It is only 4pm and I am half way through day one with no coffee so far, and feel okay...I hope that I can keep it up!
There are many advantages to cleanses...Please check with your doctor first before trying any of them !!!
1. Cleansed palate. One of the most interesting but less thought of pros of a cleansing diet is the fact that when you don’t eat any processed foods for several days or weeks, you lose your taste for them. Many cleansing diets require you to only drink teas or juices. When you’ve finished with the diet, you no longer crave the processed foods you once did. Twinkies and fast food burgers are no longer appealing.
2. Cleaned out toxins. While this isn’t scientifically proven, many believe that toxins are indeed cleaned out of your body when you go on a cleansing diet. If this is true, then this is certainly a significant benefit to your overall health.
3. Temporary weight loss. Most cleansing diets result in weight loss. The weight loss varies by type of diet and duration; a two day fast will not result in as much weight loss as you might imagine. If you plan on incorporating very healthy eating habits after your cleansing diet is complete, then you may be able to maintain the weight loss. However, the majority of weight loss will not be permanent. Some people choose to go on a cleansing diet right before an important event where they want to look particularly good, like a class reunion.
4. More energy. The majority of people who are fans of cleansing diets will tell you that one of the major benefits of a cleansing diet is the increase in energy you feel. This increase in energy can occur both during the diet and after the diet is completed.
