Nourish with Natalia 3-day Detox: A Cleanse That Won’t Make You Feel Like You’re Dying
For those of you who have tried juice cleanses, your stomach may already be cringing reading this. Do not fret, this cleanse knocks out the stereotype. It promotes a healthy body and cleanses your system to leave you feeling rejuvenated, lean, and refreshed. Oh! You also don’t feel like you’re on the brink of death every second!
Typical juice cleanses contain no protein at all. Without protein, our bodies instantly begin to feel weak. If you have attempted working while drinking these you know it’s next to impossible. Vastly low in calories, these typical cleanses send the body into starvation mode, meaning it will try to conserve calories by slowing down metabolism – the body is unsure when it will be fed again. These juices also heavily impact your wallet. Companies charge anywhere from $100-$200 for a 3-day cleanse and make an insane profit off of you.
This cleanse is unique because it uses whole foods, has a healthy amount of calories and is high protein, making it a safe and enjoyable experience. Total groceries will be about $50 and you can support your local community by getting most of the ingredients at your farmers market.
Dr. Oz states “When a detox is done right, it’s just another word to describe a diet rich in whole foods. By removing artificial flavors and chemical substances from your diet, you’re helping prepare your body to live a healthier and more natural lifestyle”.
While an already balanced and strong list, I have made some adjustments to the Dr. Oz cleanse. Because protein is so incredibly important for your body, I added unsalted nuts and protein powder to the shopping list. For supplements, I added ProOmega-D 
The shot of ACV was another addition – I swear by this. If you are looking to become leaner, this mixed with water in the morning alone will do wonders. Below I have outlined some quick tips to the detox. Trust me when I tell you this is not like other cleanses. You are not hungry, you can still workout, and your energy levels will increase drastically.
Quick Tips:
- Prep your smoothies in the morning if you will not be at home that day
- Add protein to the smoothie that follows a workout
- Have as much green tea as you would like (get the caffeinated kind – great for boosting metabolism)
- If you need an additional snack, you can eat anything that is in the shakes example: banana
- Peel the cucumbers before you add to a smoothie
