I decided to go with BluePrintCleanse, founded a few years ago by the raw-foodist Zoe Sakoutis and Erica Huss in a Chelsea kitchen, and now the big macher of cleanses in Manhattan. These programs are meant to convince the trend-averse among us that cleanses are not just the province of vegans and breatharians, but are also pretty mainstream - or at least mainstream for the reasonably chic as vital to one’s upkeep as, say, Pilates and an oxygen facial. But being able to buy the prepackaged juices and a philosophy is convenient and comforting. congratulations! That means you were supertoxic, and the cleanse is working. Glickman explains on his Web site, if you experience symptoms like cravings, fatigue, irritability, headaches, pains, nausea, vomiting, hot bowel movements (!). And the diet has a glorious circular logic to it. Celebrities as varied as Beyoncé, Jared Leto and the Moore/Kutchers (Demi and Ashton were tweeting about it this week) swear by its energizing and weight loss effects, weight loss being not all that surprising, when you consider that you are essentially sucking lemons and a few teaspoons of sugar for 10 days. The Master Cleanse involves lemon juice, cayenne pepper, maple syrup and 10 days of your life. The Hebrew word for fasting, for example, is “tsum” - which means, roughly, “to afflict the soul.” But everything old is new again, which may be why juice cleansing has been on the rise this year, juices and juice-cleanse companies were as ubiquitous at Fashion Week events as cigarettes and Adderall.Ĭleansing’s more recent popularity is traceable to the 1990s, when Peter Glickman, the Scientologist and entrepreneur, repackaged a 1940s diet called the Master Cleanse (Stanley Burroughs wrote the book “The Master Cleanser” in 1976). Virtually every major religion has some fasting and cleansing ritual that supposedly allows the body to heal, regenerate and, in a sense, apologize for being such a jerk. The idea of consuming only water or juice to rid the body of so-called toxins is not new. When did I know this for sure? Was it when I was at the Temple Bar one evening, having eaten nothing all day so I could enjoy my repast of three mojitos, five bowls of popcorn and six deviled eggs? Or was it the day I realized that I was about 20 pounds overweight as I rounded out my 40s?
But I was trying this increasingly popular purge after realizing there was perhaps room for improvement in my lifestyle choices. This is not entirely fair, because I didn’t strictly play by the rules. You know what it cleans out of you best? The will to live. Wish me luck and please don't talk about food.A MONTH ago I went on a juice cleanse. I went to they gym this morning, but for tomorrow and Saturday, I plan to take it easy and rest my muscles. I still had some energy and was able to accomplish tasks at work and my mind was clear. Today I felt pretty good other than feeling cold and a little fatigued. The idea is to drink one juice every two hours and leave about an hour in between juices, during which time you can drink herbal or green tea. Saves money you would have otherwise spent on “that new antibiotic"Įach juice is numbered in the order that you should consume them to digest the veggies/fruits properly. :)īPC says that the possible benefits of the cleanse are the following: As an addition to the cleanse, many people do colonics, but I don't think I'm ready for that. There are three choices of cleanses, so I picked the middle cleanse as my first time, since I wasn't really eating badly to begin with. I don't think a cleanse should be a time to lose weight, but more of a time to rest your immune system and clear out the toxins. I usually eat fairly healthy, but I just wanted to give my body a little break from all the food and drink I consume on a daily basis. I learned of Blueprint Cleanse through the recommendation of Fathalie, one of my best friends, who has done two cleanses with her boyfriend (he has done many).
