2 Day Cleanse Detox-We Tried It, Here’s What Happens!

Have you ever done a 2 Day Cleanse in order to detox? Well, we did and we can tell you literally everything to expect and how to do it! So that your experience can go smoothly and give you the results that you are after.

First of all, what is a cleanse? Your mind might immediately think about cleaning something. And you would not be wrong.

Nevertheless, according to Oxford’s dictionary, the definition of a detox veggie/fruit juicing or cleanse reads as:

“A process or period of time during which a person attempts to rid the body of substances regarded as toxic or unhealthy. Typically by consuming only water or other liquids.”

Now the body does a great job of doing this (detoxing) naturally. However, you can help to aid it do this job. A cleanse or detox is an excellent way to give your body the time to focus energy on other areas instead of just digesting your food.

This switch up allows the body to then shift to doing more ‘spring cleaning’ inside. Removing harmful substances or materials. Therefore, basically, you’re freeing your body up; giving it more free time to clean up.

It normally gets to detoxing you; however, with a cleanse of just liquids; instead of the body devoting tons of energy to breaking down food and passing it along, it can work on cleaning up house. Nonetheless, this clean up job can do you a lot of good! Some benefits include:

• Stronger Immune System
• Helps With Weight Loss
• Improves The Condition of The Skin
• Better Breath
• Boost circulation
• Sleep More Soundly
• Improve Energy Levels
• Reduce Inflammation

4. Drink up when it comes to fresh fruit as well as vegetable juices, smoothies, water, and tea.
5. Take supplements
6. No smoking, no drinking alcohol

Some easy detox drinks include mixing kiwi and cucumber juice together. Or green tea and lemon. Plus, you can try the following via Health Central. Just blend all the ingredients together in a blender.

 

 

Nonetheless, if you want to just pour and go, there are plenty of options on the market. This option makes life so easy; because all you have to do is just grab a cup, pour and drink your pre-made detox mixture. Literally, no guesswork.

One popular pre-made detox is by Arden’s Garden Detox. Their 2 Day Cleanse Detox has ladies dropping between 3-10lbs! Proving that a proper detox is a great kickstart for any weight loss program.

2 Day Cleanse Detox-We Tried It, Here’s What Happens!

So our Editor, Arianne, put together a diary of her 2 day experience. It’s raw. It’s real. Therefore, here is what occurs during a 48 hour detox.

Day One (Hours 0-8)– Okay, well so far so good. To be honest, I’ve been struggling with late night snacking, which has definitely added a few pounds over the years. Therefore, I found myself wishing I had eaten a few Sour Cream potato chips before I started down this journey Lol!

However, I’m about to go to sleep, so I’ll be asleep for most of this first phase of the cleanse. Which is good. Means most of us trying this will at LEAST be able to stay good for the first 1/3 of the day. But, so far I’m passing my first big test. No snacking tonight. Good night y’all!

Day One (Hours 9-16) WOW. This is going to sound really crazy. But I already look smaller today. I don’t think it is results from the detox yet. Really think it’s because I’m trying not to snack at night. I quit snacking before bed a couple days before beginning this detox; and I’m already seeing dividends. Amazing Lol.

Anyway, it is around 1pm (hour 13) and I’m doing surprisingly okay. I honestly thought I would be super hungry by now. But I’m feeling pretty good.

I’m going to keep drinking plenty of water and my detox drink. And keep moving along here. I’ll check back in after a few more hours.

Two Day Cleanse

Day One (Hours 17-24)

Alright, so Day One is about to be a wrap! Can’t believe I made it Lol! I really LOVE to eat, so I knew going into this, that it would not be easy. However, I think because today was so busy it helped.

My day flew because I had a million things to do. So that’s one piece of advice I can give. Try to stay busy. That way you don’t have time to think about all the pizza, chips, ice cream, pasta, bacon, bread, gravy you are missing out on.

Day Two (Hours 0-8) Well, here we go again. It’s late and I should really get to bed. Once again, I’m happy that I will be fast asleep doing this first phase of the day. Unless, I have to get up and use the bathroom… yet again LOL.

I drink a lot of water during the day normally, so I’m used to regular bathroom breaks. However, I will say that this detox is definitely increasing the frequency Haha! So just FYI. You may be running to the ‘Tinkle-Torium’ way more often during your 48 hour cleanse.

Two Day Juice Cleanse

Day Two (Hours 9-16) The nightmare is almost over… just kidding, it hasn’t even been that bad. The only challenge was watching someone eat a really good looking dinner. I wanted what they were eating SO badly Haha. But I refocused on my goal and got through it.

Day Two (Hours 17-24) I’m in the final countdown! You guys just don’t know how proud I am Lol. I thought I would have to cheat a little just to get through this 2 Day Cleanse. However, I didn’t once.

I had read other stories of ladies detoxing who had to eat a little snack or soup because they had hunger headaches. Thankfully, I did not experience any headaches. Just a little low energy here and there. Due to that aspect, I cut out strenuous exercise; choosing to perform low impact workouts for just a few minutes.

Nevertheless, if you are like me and you love to eat; do yourself a favor and try to prepare yourself mentally first. Maybe even try to cutdown your meal portions a few days before. I think because I quit snacking beforehand; I put myself in a pretty good head space.

My mind and body was already in the mode of not indulging in bad food; so it helped me transition through the detox much easier.
