It is easy to want the supposed magic bullet effect of a juice fast, but it is also easy to end up with some unpleasant side effects due to a lack of experience. These can side effects can be avoided, but one needs to be educated on a proper cleanse before it is started.

Juices should always be balanced out with some greens, or you can absolutely get away with a juice of carrots and beets (and then adding greens like parsley and spinach). Carrots and beets are sweet, and detoxifying, but will not be a shock to the body like fruits– which awaken toxins.

You would never want to drink juice, ESPECIALLY juice with fruit, on anything but an empty stomach. The benefit of juicing is to supply the body with an awesome amount of nutrients that rush into the bloodstream. Juice does not contain fiber– meaning it requires absolutely no digestion or energy. If you consume juice on top of something that is digesting… your rice and veggies, it will sit on top of the food and ferment– causing bloat, etc.

You are absolutely right! This page was written quite, quite some time ago and I clearly need to update it. What I believe I intended refer to was the small percentage of milk in most chocolate products and for some reason… yes. I very clearly wrote cocoa butter. Thank you for pointing out my mistake– and for making me realize I really need to revamp everything much sooner than later. :)

Cocoa butter is just fat extracted from cocoa beans. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocoa_butter There is tons of chocolate on the market that is dairy free/vegan, and you can even find a number of chocolate treats that are raw. http://www.lovestreetlivingfoods.com/

My friend and I are starting a blog on fashion and beauty and one thing we want to hi-light is a healthy lifestyle will pay off much more than a $200 face cream. I’ve found cutting out dairy and gluten has greatly improved my acne, which I’ve suffered with (and spent loads of money on) since I was 12.
I believe that you ARE what you EAT!!! Lots of processed foods, fats = sluggish, overweight. Bright colored veggies/fruits, brown rice, quinoa = glowing complexion and energy!
Thank you for educating people and also being humble and open minded. Cheers! -s
