Cleanse Overview
Day 1- Natural Fiber: Smoothies, Raw Fruits and Vegetables
Day 2- Natural Nutrients: Fruit and Vegetable Juice
Day 3- Natural Nutrients: Fruit and Vegetable Juice
Day 4- Natural Nutrients: Green Juice and Tea
Day 5- Rebalance Rehydration: Water Fast
Day 6-Transitioning & Integrating: Raw and Steamed Foods
Day 1 - Natural Fiber
Start the day off with a filling smoothie. Include bananas or mangos and
any other fruits you want. Throw some spinach or kale into the mix, and
carrots if you'd like. You can also add nuts or seeds into the smoothie or
use a nut milk to blend to keep you more full. You wont be able to eat
nuts throughout the rest of the cleanse, so take advantage of the
fat/protein opportunity here.
3-4 hours later, you can begin to eat fruits and raw (uncooked) veggies,
as much as you want. Really, eat plenty— the more, the better!
Fruits: Bananas, apples, pears, oranges, berries, mangos, melons (try to
eat melons by themselves with 1-1½ hrs before eating anything else).
Veggies: Carrots, celery, broccoli, cucumber, and leafy greens (lettuce,
spinach, kale, chard, arugula). Note: If you are going to make a salad, DO
NOT USE ANY SALT OR OIL!! Use citrus, apple cider vinegar, fruits, and/or
other vegetables to make a salad dressing. You can look up “raw vegan
salad dressings” on google/youtube for some ideas or contact your Natural
Carbs nutrition consultant.

Day 2- Natural Nutrients
1st juice: Fruit Juice
Start the day off with the fruit juice of your
choice. I recommend any kind of melon,
berry, apple, or orange, combine with other
fruits and/or veggies like beets, carrots,
celery, bell pepper, and ginger (Note: Do
not combine the melon with anything other
than citrus, cucumber, or herbs).
2nd Juice: Root Vegetables
Carrot, beet, sweet potato, ginger. You can
combine all the above veggies, a couple of
them, or just use juice one. Use apple or
pearto sweeten. Add a hint of lemon or
lime. Adding herbs is always a good idea.
3rd Juice: Vegetables mix
Garden galore! Kale, spinach, chard,
lettuce, cucumber, sprouts, celery,
cabbage, carrots, beets, broccoli, bell
It is important to stay hydrated. Be sure to drink plenty of
water throughout the day, both before and after consuming
juices. Adding herbs or citrus slices to the water will help
significantly, giving the water vita-mineral value. It is also
important to reduce stressors during this time. Stress
produces an imbalance in the cortisol levels of your body
and can consequently make you feel cranky and hungry
(cortisol is regulatory hormone involved in weight loss/gain,
sleep, and emotion).

pepper, ginger. Add any juicing vegetables
you have. Add only one small apple or half a
large apple to sweeten. Hint of lemon or
lime and any herbs.
4th Juice: Green Juice
Choice of herbs. Leafy green (kale, spinach),
cucumber, celery. Lemon or lime. Add ginger
if you'd like. DO NOT SWEETEN.
5th Juice: Green Juice
Same as juice #4. Making a big batch of the
previous juice is a good idea.
6th Juice: Nighttime Lettuce Juice or Tea
Juice green leaf or romaine lettuce. Nothing
else nothing more (except lemon or lime if
you want). This will help you sleep and will
prep you for the next day. If you’d prefer,
have a cup of herbal tea instead (chamomile,
linden, lavender, or passionflower).

Day 4- Natural Nutrients
Start the day off with a cup of warm water and
add lemon or lime to it. Be sure to have it as
soon as you wake up. About an hour
afterwards, have your *first green juice (as
indicated in juice #4 of Day 2). For this first
breakfast green juice, feel free to sweeten
with either apple, pear, or carrot.
On this day, you will have a total of 3 green
juices and the tea of your choice about 1-2
hours thereafter.
*Green juice for lunch. *Tea 1-2 hours after.
*Green Juice for dinner. *Tea before bed
Recommended day time teas: Herbals teas
such as mint, hibiscus, ginger, moringa or
green tea if you find you need caffeine.
Recommended nighttime teas: Chamomile,
linden, valerian, cinnamon, ginger)

Day 5- Rebalance Rehydration
During this day, you will ONLY drink water.
You can add a few slices of citrus (lime,
lemon, grapefruit) and whatever fresh herbs
you have around (mint, basil, parsley, dill,
cilantro). Let rest in a pitcher overnight to
make your own vitamin water. It will help
hold you over better and it will also give you
some nutrients to better energize your
throughout your day. You can go ahead and
heat up the water as if though you were
making a tea if you feel you need something
warm.
Day 6- Transitioning & Integrating
A smooth transition into your regular diet is
important. For this, the suggestion is to
repeat Day 1’s recommendations, adding
steamed vegetable for dinner.
Juicing offers many life-enhancing health benefits including a faster, more
efficient way to absorb immune boosting nutrients naturally found in fruits and
vegetables. It removes the insoluble fiber from vegetables and fruits. While fiber
is an established, important part of an overall healthy diet, removing the
insoluble fiber allows for increased absorption of specific health promoting
phytonutrients including enzymes.

Drinking fresh juice can help us adopt healthier eating
patterns. For those of us who do not traditionally consume
many fruits and vegetables, incorporating fresh juice can be
a fun and different approach to increasing consumption of
these important plant foods for improved health and wellness
and reaching your weight loss goals.
