A Fresh Start with a New Year's Cleanse

My plan is to start 2010 off with a BANG. I've got lots of great weight loss books and exercise programs to report on this January (including giveaways so that you can win some of the HOTTEST diet books, etc. out there). I wanted to do something HEALTHY that would get me off to a GREAT START in 2010

So, I've taken the challenge of doing a New Year's Juice Cleanse with my friends at Genesis Today. To be honest, I've never done anything like this before, but I'm game to give it a try.

Here's the PLAN

Before (or instead of) breakfast, mix 5 oz. Genesis Today™ Acaí Berry Juice and 5 oz. of Genesis Today™ Resveratrol Juice and drink. To help curb your appetite, add Genesis Today™ 4FIBER (or any high-quality powdered fiber).

Before (or instead of) lunch, mix 5 oz. Genesis Today™ Acaí Berry Juice and 5 oz. of Genesis Today™ Resveratrol Juice and drink. To help curb your appetite, add Genesis Today™ 4FIBER (or any high-quality powdered fiber). Also, consume a salad consisting of only raw vegetables.

For a mid-afternoon snack, choose a low-calorie and low-fat option. Choose one of the following:

6 Whole grain crackers with low-fat cheese slices
Several apple slices (half an apple)
One cup of plain popcorn
4 oz. of low-fat yogurt

For dinner, mix 5 oz. Genesis Today™ Acaí Berry Juice and 5 oz. of Genesis Today™ Resveratrol Juice and drink. For an added boost and to help curb your appetite, add Genesis Today™ 4FIBER (or any high-quality powdered fiber), as well as 1 oz. of Genesis Today™ PROTEIN100 (or any other protein supplement; 1 scoop of protein powder may be substituted). Also, consume a salad consisting of only raw vegetables.

What I like about this is that it's got some substance and isn't just a juice fast. PLUS, I'm a huge advocate for Genesis Today's juices and my refrigerator is always stocked with all three juices (although Reveratrol and Acai Berry are my favorites).

WHY BOTHER?

We spend so much money on products that cleanse our bodies externally, but most of us don’t consider cleansing our internal organs. However, for optimum performance from our bodies, we need to maintain both the inside and the outside.

THE PURPOSE

Over time, toxins begin to build up in our bodies as a result of our exposure to excess pollutants in the air we breathe, in the water we drink, and the food we eat. Over the holidays, we put an extra burden of toxins in our bodies due to over-indulgence. Our bodies are designed to eliminate toxins under normal conditions, but in today’s society, toxins build up in our system faster than our bodies can expel them. Internal cleansing, juice cleansing and detoxification help remove these toxins from our bodies in a gentle, safe and natural manner.

If you've never tried any SuperFruits your palate may be in for a little excitement.They don't taste like any other juices that you may have tried before. If you're a wine lover (and want the heart benefits without the alcohol) - then Resveratrol is for YOU. If you're looking to lose weight and need some extra energy - I'd choose the Acai.
