Review // Juicytox UK
As you well know, I have documented my weight loss
journey for a while now. I am not one to follow fad diets, I believe in healthy
eating and moving more – it is the only thing that has ever worked for me.
However, when I was approached by Juicytox and asked if I wanted to
give juicing a go I couldn’t refuse. Juicing is something that a lot of people
have been talking about recently, it is not only the perfect detox
but also the new ‘kickstart’ to your weightloss journey. Juicytox is a Sussex run business providing a 4
day detox. The juices are freshly made with
ingredients such as, Celery, Spinach, Kale,
Cucumber, Apple, Lemon, Beetroot, Carrot, Orange
and Ginger. You drink these regularly throughout the day, as well as completing your day with a nice cup of detox tea.
Your day is as follows:
8am Hot lemon water
10am Green
1pm Orange
4pm Green
7pm Beetroot
9pm Detox tea
You also must drink 2ltrs of lemon water throughout the
day.
If you’re a food addict like me, you will find it hard. However, it usually is mind over matter and if you are stubborn and persevere you will reap the rewards! You have a mixture of green, orange and red juice.
I am a food lover, and I find nothing more
satisfying than having a munch on my favourite foods. I am also a gym
bunny, going to the gym around 4 times a week. Taking part in Juicytox’s 4
day detox meant I had to give this up. Going to the gym is not advised by Juicytox
as your energy levels will be expectantly lower. However naughty old me did still go the gym (I’m an addict,
oops). However, I took my level down and listened to my body. I found that this
didn’t cause me too many problems – yes, my energy levels were slightly lower
than usual but I had no problems finishing an hours workout.
Now for the results...
Everyone’s body is completely different, and
the way it works is completely malleable to your lifestyle. I am quite an
active person, I walk everywhere and am always on my feet. This did
mean I found Juicytox particularly hard. This however was soon
outweighed when I began to see results.
I have a big problem with lactose and white
carbs. I swell up to the size of a balloon and look like I am 7 months pregnant
(not attractive). In my daily diet I try to stay away from these food groups –
but who can resist a bread roll and a bar
of choccy sometimes? Juicytox reduced my bloating by 100% - My
belly was finally flat!! I was very impressed with these results.
In terms of measurements, over the 4 days I
lost a total of just under 6lbs – a great loss. All together this
equated to 1 inch around my belly and just under an inch around my waist. However,
about a week later I did find that I put these back on very quickly. I wasn’t
surprised by this however, as even though I do live a reasonably healthy
lifestyle, I deprived my body of food and as soon as I gave it what it wanted
it grabbed a hold! The most important benefits it beheld however for me
personally, did not lie in the weightloss. Though weightloss is a huge
component to juicing, it is the cleansing and detoxifying experience that lies
at its forefront. These benefits were shown from not only my decreased bloating
but my skin as well. I have never had problem skin only the odd spot. However,
I did find my complexion had brightened up and any blemishes/spots I did have
were clearing nicely. This is supported my Juicytox who state that
weight isn’t the only benefit of a juicing detox. Juicytox claims
that those who have completed Juicytox experience:
- Weight loss
- Improved energy levels
- Felt less sluggish
- Concentration levels were better
- Healthier hair and nails
- Stronger immune system
- Skin felt better
- More determined
I must say, I agree with all of the benefits
and I experienced them all to some extent. Especially determination:
like I said, it is mind of matter, and if you can prove to yourself that you
can do it; you really can do anything! I was very impressed by many aspects
of Juicytox.. I would do the detox again, only if it was prior to going on
holiday or an event in which I wanted to look good. I would also do it if I had
over indulged – over Christmas time for example. Having an outcome to reach for
and a target to look forward to would make it a lot easier.
I still do love my food, and though my affair
with Juicytox was 4 days long it was a successful one. Have you tried
juicing before?
Fancy having a juicy affair?
